#REDIRECT [[Glossary (TCG)#Restored Pokémon]]
A '''Restored Pokémon''' (Japanese: {{ruby|復|ふく}}{{ruby|元|げん}}ポケモン ''Restored Pokemon'') is a form of [[#Pokémon card|Pokémon]] that is revived to life from a {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Fossil card}}. In the [[Pokémon world]], [[Fossil]]s are prehistoric Pokémon revived using techniques developed by the [[Devon Corporation]] and a research laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]].
 
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}}.
 
==Current Game Mechanic==
In order to play a Restored Pokémon, the player must first play the respective [[Fossil]] card (a {{TCG|Trainer card}}), search the bottom seven cards of their [[Deck]] for the corresponding Pokémon, and then place it onto his or her {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}. This type of Trainer card was reintroduced with the above mechanic in the {{TCG|Noble Victories}} [[#Expansion|expansion]] after many years of absence.
 
==Original Game Mechanic==
Play this Fossil {{TCG|Trainer card}} as if it were a {{TCG|Colorless}} {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Basic Pokémon}}. The actual Restored Pokémon was a Stage 1 [[Evolution]] card. While the Fossil counts as a Trainer card, if it is {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Knock Out|Knocked Out}}, it counts as a Knocked Out Pokémon. However, the Fossil cannot be affected by any [[Special Conditions]] and cannot {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Retreat cost|Retreat}}. Players may discard the Fossil anytime during their turn before they {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Attack}}, which does not count as a Knocked Out. Finally, whenever the Fossil would be damaged by an opponent's Attack, the Fossil's player {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Coins or Dice|flips a coin}} until they get Tails, which reduces that damage by 10 {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Hit Points}} for each Head.
