Information
Fossil is the name given to the third main expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. In Japan, it was released as Mystery of the Fossils, the third expansion in the Pokémon Card Game. It is based on Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green, featuring Generation I Pokémon and Fossil Pokémon. The English expansion was released on October 10, 1999, while the Japanese expansion was released on June 21, 1997.
Fossil was the final expansion to use the Galaxy Star Holofoil. In the Australian release, the Unlimited print used red lettering for the word "Pokémon" instead of yellow on relevant packaging. This was to help prevent counterfeiting.
