Fossil (Japanese: 化石の秘密 Mystery of the Fossils) is the name given to the third expansion of cards and Theme Decks for the Pokémon Trading Card Game in both America and Japan.
Information
- The English version of Fossil was originally planned to be released around January 2000 (based on original Jungle estimates). But because Jungle was pushed ahead, Fossil was pushed ahead as well.
- Wizards of the Coast once again increased the set size by producing holographic and non-holographic versions of the rare cards; however, they removed the Mew card that was in the Japanese set. Mew would later reappear as Wizards Black Star Promos #8 (non-holographic) and #9 (holographic).
- Fossil completed the transition of the first 150 Pokémon (151 in Japan with the inclusion of Mew, whereas Mew would be a promo card in the English version) to card form. Base Set, Jungle and Fossil totaled 158 Pokémon, meaning 8 Pokémon were present in two expansions : Pikachu and Electrode were both in Bast Set and in Jungle, while Gastly, Haunter, Magmar, Magneton, Raichu and Zapdos appeared both in Base Set and in Fossil.
- The Prerelease card for this set is Aerodactyl. It also happens to have the 1st Edition symbol on it.
- A strategy guide for this expansion was released: the Pokémon Trading Card Game Fossil Expansion Player's Guide. Additionally, the Team Rocket Strategy Guide published by Wizards of the Coast also contains coverage of the Fossil expansion.
- The set's booster pack designs feature Lapras, Kabutops, and Zapdos.
- Of all English-released sets, Fossil has the smallest amount of cards.
- Like Jungle, this set provided evolutions of Pokemon introduced previously such as Hypno, Gengar, Sandslash, and Dragonite.
