An example of a Restored Pokémon

Restored Pokémon (Japanese: 復元ポケモン Restored Pokémon) are a variant of Pokémon in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. They were first introduced in the Noble Victories expansion (the Red Collection expansion in Japan) and feature Fossil Pokémon. In order to play a Restored Pokémon, the player should play the respective Fossil card (a Trainer card), with the effect of searching the bottom seven cards of their Deck for the corresponding Pokémon, and then place it onto their Bench. The mechanic was meant to replace the use of Item cards that were put into play to evolve into Fossil Pokémon such as Mysterious Fossil, but this was reverted in the Sun & Moon Series.

Some Restored Pokémon feature the Prehistoric Call Ability, which moves them from the discard pile to the bottom of the player’s deck and allow for an easier setup.

Trivia

Cranidos is the only Fossil Pokémon introduced to the Pokémon series before the implementation of Restored Pokémon cards to have not received a Restored Pokémon stage card.
- As an extension of this, Rampardos is the only Fossil Pokémon evolution introduced to the Pokémon series before Restored cards to never be printed as a Stage 1 Pokémon.
- Despite being the counterpart to Cranidos in Generation IV, Shieldon was printed with a Restored Pokémon stage in Steam Siege. However, it was 'partnered' with Anorith, with Anorith's counterpart Lileep being 'partnered' with both Archen and Tirtouga in Plasma Blast.

-Only eleven Pokémon are currently classified as Restored Pokémon: {{TCG|Aerodactyl}}, {{TCG|Amaura}}, {{TCG|Anorith}}, {{TCG|Archen}}, {{TCG|Cranidos}}, {{TCG|Kabuto}}, {{TCG|Lileep}}, {{TCG|Omanyte}}, {{TCG|Shieldon}}, {{TCG|Tirtouga}}, and {{TCG|Tyrunt}}.
+Some Restored Pokémon feature the Prehistoric Call {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Ability}}, which moves them from the discard pile to the bottom of the player’s deck and allow for an easier setup.
-==Restored Pokémon Game Mechanic==
-In order to play a Restored Pokémon, the player must first play the respective {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Fossil card}} (a {{TCG|Trainer card}}), search the bottom seven cards of their [[Deck]] for the corresponding Pokémon, and then place it onto their {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}. This type of Trainer card was reintroduced with the above mechanic in the {{TCG|Noble Victories}} expansion.
-* Many Restored Pokémon feature the Prehistoric Call {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Ability}} (like the Plasma Blast versions of {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Archen|53}}, {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Lileep|3}}, and {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Tirtouga|27}}), which moves them from the discard pile to the bottom of the player’s deck.
-* Combine that with the Supporter card {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Caitlin|78}} ({{TCG|Plasma Blast}}) to put any number of cards from the player’s hand to the bottom of their deck in any order. Then retrieve it with a {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Fossil card}}.
-==Original Game Mechanic==
-Introduced first in the {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion, there was the {{TCG|Item}} card {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} which could be put into play as if it were a Basic Pokémon with 10 HP that had no attacks or {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}, could not Retreat or be affected by {{TCG|Special Conditions}}, could be discarded at any time during your turn before your attack, and your opponent did not take a Prize when it was Knocked Out.  {{TCG|Aerodactyl}}, {{TCG|Kabuto}}, and {{TCG|Omanyte}} cards released during this time until the mechanic was altered were Stage 1 Pokémon which could Evolve from Mysterious Fossil.  As Mysterious Fossil did not count as a Pokémon while in your hand, it could not be your opening Pokémon.
-Other ways of putting those cards into play were introduced as well in subsequent expansions, and Mysterious Fossil received multiple errata tweaking its effect, including periods where it could optionally count as a Pokémon while in hand (allowing you to open with it) and where it had to be treated as such.  One alternative to Mysterious Fossil was not a shortcut (like {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} but a replacement known as {{TCG|Buried Fossil}}, which actually was a Basic, Colorless Pokémon and behaved as such, and could Evolve into your choice of the same three Pokémon as Mysterious Fossil.
-When the [[Generation_III|third generation]] of Pokémon video games were introduced, so were more cards using this original mechanic, except both of these newer Pokémon - {{TCG|Anorith}} and {{TCG|Lileep}} - had their own specific Fossil card - {{TCG|Claw Fossil}} and {{TCG|Root Fossil}}, respectively. Mysterious Fossil was reissued with updated text alongside these cards, and this trend continued until this mechanic was replaced with the current one that featured Restored Pokémon.
-Despite the existence of Restored Pokémon, the Sun & Moon Series reverted how Fossil Pokémon worked to the original mechanic, introducing the [[Unidentified Fossil (Ultra Prism 134)|Unidentified Fossil]] card for Fossil Pokémon to evolve from.
