Has any one else been lucky enough to get a fossil egg or pokemon from shelter? I never thought anyone would abandon them as you have to have a fossil to get one and the fossils can be sold so why use a fossil if you don't want the pokemon? Not complaining just would like to know why people abandon them I've seen 2 or 3 hatched fossil pokemon missed them though and seen 2 Fossil Cranidos eggs missed 1st one but just got 2nd one now. Yes it has a previous owner so not from a ban drop. Maybe the hatched fossils were from someone who wanted a shiny form of them but what about the eggs?

I've grabbed a Fossil Aerodactyl egg before. I also abandoned a Fossil Omanyte since it didn't hatch shiny. Some people like me don't need the money and prefer hunting for their shiny forms

Yes I can see why people abandon the hatch pokemon if they only got it in hope of getting shiny form but I can't see why any one abandons fossil eggs.

I'm not one of them (I do abandoned hatched fossils) but I bet they're just trying to increase their stats. You do get a point every time you resurrect a fossil, after all.

Could be they click the fossil, not realizing they've already obtained the Pokemon. Rather than wait out the 20000+ clicks to hatch it, they just release it as soon as they can. -------------------- [align=center]add me for daily clicks [735/1000]

I could think of a few reasons:
1]They already have that fossil and don't need it. 2]They want to be nice and share the wealth. 3]They simply don't like that particular fossil. Either way, the reason they abandon a fossil is usually the same as when they abandon any egg. Legendary or novelty or whatever, if they don't want an egg, they don't want an egg. -------------------- Shinies (click to show) Credits (click to show) |

4) They're shiny hunting
I've seen a couple, but I never grab them. I'd rather obtain them by using an item so I can get the egg data into my Pokedex too. --------------------   |

Or maybe they're doing a trade with someone and someone was supposed to sit around to grab it?
I've never understood these 'trades', imo. I just can't imagine them working so well ._.;; |

I normally drop a few when I don't hatch them shiny.
I have my corporate GPXplus achievement, so I have no need for points anyways. |

Another reason: statistics.
I've resurrected a few fossils just so that I could gain a few ranks. Although... I would've probably hatched them anyway, in hopes of getting a shiny. I'm planning to release a few hatched fossils myself, as soon as I gather 300+ releasable Pokemon. --------------------  |

I wouldn't adopt one from the shelter.
I like having my own. I have 5 unique fossils in my inventory at the moment. When I get my 6th, I will resurrect them all together! --------------------        These eggs images are all those of my brother.

I found a 100% ready Fossil Lileep egg in the shelter once, that was cool.
the owner wanted to hatch it but clicked the wrong option. -------------------- Click any of these pokemon to visit my party.       All sprites above are made/edited by me. My Current Party (click to show) Green Team (click to show) My Contest Egg (click to show)  |

SigmaJargon usually drops them when he has massive drops, as well as DW and over Novelties and Legendaries.

Also the eggs look a little different too I think. More rocky and craggy somehow...

Wait, do fossils always give you a fossil pokemon or only sometimes? I know it's a stupid question but...

But there is somekind of bug. When you resurrect a fossil it might give a egg from someones daycare(?). Im try to get all fossil's evos and going drop all extra ones. Droped 9 so far. I saw one hatched Fossil Lileep but not any eggs.
