Card text

Play Root Fossil as if it were a Basic Pokémon. While in play, Root Fossil counts as a Colorless Pokémon (instead of a Trainer card). Root Fossil has no attacks of its own, can't retreat, and can't be affected by any Special Conditions. If Root Fossil is Knocked Out, it doesn't count as a Knocked Out Pokémon. (Discard it anyway.) At any time during your turn before your attack, you may discard Root Fossil from play.

[Poké-BODY] Spongy Stone
At any time between turns, remove 1 damage counter from Root Fossil.

Release information

This card was reprinted in the EX Legend Maker, EX Holon Phantoms, and EX Power Keepers sets with new art by the same artist. The EX Legend Maker print changed "instead of a Trainer card" to "as well as a Trainer card".

An upcoming print of the card will likely reword the card again to be similar to the wording on Armor Fossil and Skull Fossil.
