|effect=Play Armor Fossil as if it were a {{e|Colorless}} Basic Pokémon. (Armor Fossil counts as a Trainer card as well, but if Armor Fossil is Knocked Out, this counts as a Knocked Out Pokémon.) Armor Fossil can't be affected by any {{TCG|Special Condition}}s and can't retreat. At any time during your turn before your attack, you may discard Armor Fossil from play. (This doesn't count as a Knocked Out Pokémon.)
