In order to play a Restored Pokémon, the player must first play the respective {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|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|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}. This type of Trainer card was reintroduced with the above mechanic in the {{TCG|Noble Victories}} expansion. | In order to play a Restored Pokémon, the player must first play the respective {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|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|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}.

Other ways of putting those cards into play were introduced as well in subsequent expansions, and Mysterious Fossil received multiple errata tweaking its effect, including periods where it could optionally count as a Pokémon while in hand (allowing you to open with it) and where it had to be treated as such. One alternative to Mysterious Fossil was not a shortcut (like {{TCG|Fossil Egg}} but a replacement known as {{TCG|Buried Fossil}}, which actually was a Basic, Colorless Pokémon and behaved as such, and could Evolve into your choice of the same three Pokémon as Mysterious Fossil. | Other ways of putting those cards into play were introduced as well in subsequent expansions, and Mysterious Fossil received multiple errata tweaking its effect, including periods where it could optionally count as a Pokémon while in hand (allowing you to open with it) and where it had to be treated as such.

When the [[Generation_III|third generation]] of Pokémon video games were introduced, so were more cards using this original mechanic, except both of these newer Pokémon - {{TCG|Anorith}} and {{TCG|Lileep}} - had their own specific Fossil card - {{TCG|Claw Fossil}} and {{TCG|Root Fossil}}, respectively. | When the [[Generation_III|third generation]] of Pokémon video games were introduced, so were more cards using this original mechanic, except both of these newer Pokémon - {{TCG|Anorith}} and {{TCG|Lileep}} - had their own specific Fossil card - {{TCG|Claw Fossil}} and {{TCG|Root Fossil}}, respectively. Mysterious Fossil was reissued with updated text alongside these cards, and this trend continued until this mechanic was replaced with the current one that featured Restored Pokémon. | ||
Despite the existence of Restored Pokémon, the Sun & Moon Series reverted how Fossil Pokémon worked to the original mechanic, introducing the [[Unidentified Fossil (Ultra Prism 134)|Unidentified Fossil]] card for Fossil Pokémon to evolve from. | |||
