Trivia

• This card's effect is similar to that of the Unidentified Fossil card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, but has 40 HP instead of 60 HP and only Aerodactyl can evolve from.
  • Old Amber also exists in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, but has 50 HP and also has a Poké-Body.

This section contains old or outdated information, or has not been updated in a while. Please check the content of this section and update it as required. Reason: Info of what happens after Deluxe Pack: ex.

• The Mythical Island print of this card is exactly the same as the Genetic Apex print, and thus, unlike other cards, an Old Amber card from any booster packs would be considered for both, including for Missions. This was identified as a bug in an in-game notice published on December 17, 2024.

Origin

• This card's illustration was first featured on Old Amber Aerodactyl from the Fates Collide expansion.
• An Old Amber is a fossil in the Pokémon games which can be revived into Aerodactyl.
