Anorith (アノプス Anopusu?) are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise—a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards, and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. The purpose of Anorith in the games, anime, and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon—untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments—and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[2]

[edit] Characteristics

Anorith is an ancient Pokémon that resembles the real-life animal, the Anomalocaris. It's many legs have reformed into "wings" along its side that enabled it to swim by undilating them in a fashion to simular to a sting ray. The forelimbs of the Anorith are claws, simular simular to lobster claws, which it uses to hunt prey. The Anorith pokemon lived in warm seas, over millions of years ago.

[edit] In the video games

Anorith are only found in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as well as the upcoming Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. They are an "extinct" Pokémon, meaning they cannot be found in the wild and must be resurrected from fossil items (comparable to Omanyte and Kabuto). Ironically, it is weak to water type attacks. This is due to its rock type, but as a Pokemon that long ago lived in water it should have an immunity to water attacks. Being a first-stage Pokémon, Anorith's stats are not particularly impressive, excluding its relatively good Attack stats. It is also faster than its evolution, Armaldo.
