Edit Reason: Gen 5 was my favorite, not Gen 6. I was tired.

My favorite fossil 'Mon is gonna have to be this guy:

First off, Carracosta is durable. It's got a great base Defense of 133, and though it isn't the best, it sure is useful. Its 108 base Attack goes great with its mainly Physical movepool, and, when set up correctly, can be a great addition to a team.
Second, its design is great. I like the cold, deep blue color scheme and the stony design of the shell and "mask."
Third, Gen 5 had to be my favorite generation of Pokemon. (GASP! UNPOPULAR OPINION!) Being one of the first Pokemon games I'd ever played, I made a lot of great memories in Pokemon Black with my Carracosta. Also, being my only Water type, this prototurtle was a big part of my team.
Fourth, and the final part of my argument, the Pokedex entries make it very clear that this guy is incredibly powerful, sturdy, and dangerous;
"They can live both in the ocean and on land. A slap from one of them is enough to open a hole in the bottom of a tanker." -Pokemon Black, X, and Omega Ruby.
"Incredible jaw strength enables them to chew up steel beams and rocks along with their prey." -Pokemon White
"It could knock out a foe with a slap from one of its developed front appendages and chew it up, shell or bones and all." -Pokemon Black 2, White 2, Y, and Alpha Sapphire
"It constructed its sturdy shell by crunching and swallowing the hard shells or bones of its prey." -Pokemon Sun
"Active both on land and in the sea, this Pokémon drags its land-based prey into the water to finish it off." -Pokemon Moon
Mine tend to look something like this:
Carracosta @ Wide Lens or Damp Rock
Adamant or Brave
252 Atk/4 Sp.Def/252 Def
- Stone Edge
- Waterfall
- Withdraw
- Smack Down
