Trivia

  • Oddly, this is the only Fossil Trainer card that can be affected by Special Conditions.

Origin

Fossils are items in the Pokémon games that can be revived into Pokémon.The Root, Claw, Skull, and Armor Fossils appear in the Ultra Prism print's illustration. The Helix, Skull, Armor, and Sail Fossils appear in the Astral Radiance print's illustration.
