After studying Pokémon paleontology at the Nacrene Museum, Cliff started traveling the world searching out rare fossils, and training his fossil Pokémon. Mines, caves, deserts: wherever a pokemon fossil turns up, so does Cliff. Some say that his fossil collection is larger than that of any museum. His plan is to someday open a park of restored fossil Pokémon to educate and amaze visitors of all ages. But until he can get the real estate, he’s known for being the preeminent fossil gym leader. If you can bust up his rock-type Pokémon, you’ll earn the Fossil Badge!
