Numpkmn evo
- Professor Rowan is said in the games to have studied Pokémon Evolution and determined that 90% of all Pokémon are related in some way by Evolution. As of Generation IX, with 208 Pokémon out of 1028 total that are not part of any evolutionary line, this number is inaccurate, as there are 79.77% Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once. If Legendary and Mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are excluded, the number of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 88.84% (820 out of 923). In previous generations:
- 25 out of 151 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation I, meaning 83.44% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 5 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (20 out of 146 unevolving Pokémon), the number of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 86.3%.
- 43 out of 251 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation II, meaning 82.87% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 11 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (32 out of 240 unevolving Pokémon), the number of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 86.67%.
- 73 out of 386 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation III, meaning 81.09% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 21 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (52 out of 365 unevolving Pokémon), the number of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 85.75%.
- 77 out of 493 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation IV, meaning 84.38% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 35 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (42 out of 458 unevolving Pokémon), the number of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 90.83%.
- 104 out of 649 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation V, meaning 83.98% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 48 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (56 out of 601 unevolving Pokémon), the number of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 90.68%.
- 115 out of 721 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation VI, meaning 84.05% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 54 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon (61 out of 667 unevolving Pokémon), the number of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 90.85%.
- 146 out of 809 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation VII, meaning 81.95% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 81 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts (65 out of 728 unevolving Pokémon), the number of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 91.07%.
- 166 out of 905 Pokémon did not evolve in Generation VIII, meaning 81.66% of all Pokémon undergo Evolution at least once. Excluding the 93 Legendary and Mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts (73 out of 812 unevolving Pokémon), the number of Pokémon that undergo Evolution at least once is 91.01%.

SV character appearance drafts
Katy
Katy is a woman of average height and a slightly above average build. (???)
Her most distinctive facial feature is a mole on her left cheek.
Katy wears a two-tone chef's uniform, complete with a chef's beret. She keeps her light green hair tucked underneath her beret, except for two small curls of hair, one behind her right ear and one jutting out from a small bun tied behind her left ear. The beret itself has curled decorations that resemble insect antennae. Katy's chef's uniform consists of a light brown jacket with short puff sleeves, a dark brown scarf worn around her shoulders, and a dark brown tight-fitting long skirt with a short apron tied around her waist. The apron has a spider web logo on it. Katy also wears light brown gloves with white lace decorations on the cuffs, and white shoes.
Brassius
Brassius's appearance is that of a tall, gaunt man, whose face bears a dour expression and sunken eyes. His dark green hair is stylized to resemble plant thorns.
Brassius's outfit consists of a purple long-sleeved shirt with a tall collar, black pants, and dark green shoes. The shirt's sleeves are slightly puffed and have tight cuffs that extend halfway to Brassius's forearms, while the shirt's placket is zig-zagged with triangular, yellowish-green thorn decorations on it. The shirt's chest area also has a triangular decor of the same color on the left side. Extending from Brassius's left shoulder is a thorny ??? that goes over his back and loops around his waist, forming a belt. This belt holds a loop of thorn-covered rope that Brassius uses for landscaping (???).
Iono
Kofu
Kofu is an aged man with a tall, large build. He lacks head hair but has a distinctive facial hairstyle, consisting of a long, curled unibrow that goes over his eyes, a smaller unibrow just above it, and a curled chinstrap beard, all stylized after ocean waves.
As Kofu works as a chef, he is always seen in his chef's uniform, which consists of a white short-sleeved shirt, trousers, and shoes. He wears a large, dark blue apron over his shirt. The apron has golden waist straps and a golden trim on the top, with a crown-shaped decoration that also holds a braided strap that goes over his neck. The apron also has the Kofu Lounge logo in gold on the chest area, pockets in two sets of three on the stomach area, and two thick ropes that act as decorations below the pockets. The light blue trim on the apron's pockets and the rope decorations together give the apron a wave-like pattern.
Ryme
Befitting her status as a Ghost-type specialist, Ryme's front-falling dreads resembles a skeleton's arm and her central back one ends in a shape resembling a simplified representation of a pelvis. (???)
Ryme's attire consists of a tight black dress and black leggings, over which she wears a black jacket with gold trimmings on the cuffs, sleeves, collar, and the jacket's insides. She also wears large gold earrings with a jade-green gem on the center, and a black baseball cap backwards, with her frontal dreads going over the hole above the cap's strap. Her shoes are gold in color and have a distinct shape, as each shoe's upper portion resembles a ribcage, and its toe cap has two sharp points on it.

Fossil in the TCG
Fossils are first introduced to the Pokémon Trading Card Game in the Fossil expansion. Cards depicting fossils are typically Trainer cards; after the Trainer card type was split into multiple subtypes during the Black & White series, cards depicting fossils are typically released as Item cards. Their primary role is putting Fossil Pokémon into play, which normally cannot enter play without a Fossil card of some kind due to their unique mechanics. As such, Fossil cards are released in the same expansions as the Pokémon that are revived from them.
Fossil Trainer card
Most cards depicting fossils are Fossil Trainer cards, cards which start as Trainer/Item cards while not in play, but then are played as Basic Pokémon. The name has not changed since the introduction of the Item subtype. They are non-Pokémon cards printed with HP values, and use that HP value while in play. While in play, they have an Energy type of Colorless. They were introduced in the Fossil expansion. They do not have attacks and are unable to retreat (lacking a retreat cost entirely). Additionally, since they are not Pokémon while not in play, Fossil cards cannot be retrieved using cards that search for Pokémon from the deck, but instead can be retrieved by cards that search for Trainer cards.
When cards reference cards depicting fossils, they use the phrase, "Item card that has 'Fossil' in its name", or variations of that. Notably, this means such effects exclude Old Amber cards. However, it is more common for cards to check for exact card names than the phrase "Fossil".
Sometimes cards reference Fossil Pokémon in a similar manner, using phrases that refer to the cards that they evolve from. These include "Pokémon that evolve from an Item card that has "Fossil" in its name", "Pokémon that evolve from Unidentified Fossil", or "card that evolves from Mysterious Fossil", among others. The broadest of these, ones that only call out Fossil Pokémon in general, exclude Aerodactyl that evolve from Old Amber cards. Still, cards more commonly check for the exact card name of Pokémon than for evolutionary lines like this.
Restored Pokémon is a special stage used for Fossil Pokémon in the Black & White Series and the XY Series, starting in Noble Victories. They have unique mechanics separate from the normal way Fossil Pokémon are depicted. However, this change was only implemented temporarily. The Sun & Moon Series reverted back to the normal way Fossil Pokémon are depicted, starting in Ultra Prism the period where Fossil Pokémon had this stage was able to include Aerodactyl when referring to Fossil Pokémon broadly by checking for stage.
The rules for if a Fossil Trainer card can be put into play while setting up to play has varied as the rules have changed overtime:
- The original Fossil FAQ allowed it, only for a subsequent rule to disallow it on the basis of the card being a Trainer while it is in a hand.[5]
- In the EX Series starting from EX Sandstorm, this was changed to fully allow putting Fossil Trainer cards into play while setting up to play.[6]
- Starting with Ultra Prism in the Sun & Moon Series, this was fully repealed. There is no longer a window to play Fossil Trainer cards without them being a Trainer card.[7]
When players were allowed to do this, it was because the Fossil Trainer card functionally acted as a Basic Pokémon while setting up to play. This means that players were not allowed to take a mulligan when they had a hand that only has Fossil Trainer cards. Even with this in mind, Fossil Trainer cards are not "Basic Pokémon" and decks require a minimum of one Basic Pokémon in them to be legal for play. Also note that this allowance was never afforded to any of the other Trainer cards that are played as Pokémon.[6].
When this permission was allowed, there is an extra incongruity to remember exclusive to the Diamond and Pearl Series and the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series. In those rules, Trainer cards could not be played on the first turn of the player going first, including Fossil Trainer cards that were allowed to be put into play before the first turn of the game.[6]
Fossil Trainer cards have some upsides. A player is allowed to discard a Fossil Trainer card from play at any time, which is not considered Knocking Out a Pokémon. Also, most but not all Fossil Trainer cards have an immunity to Special Conditions. Fossil Trainer Cards can have Poké-Bodies or Abilities as well. Lacking a Retreat Cost also offers an interesting advantage, as a null Retreat Cost cannot be increased.[6]
Whether or not Knocking Out a Fossil Trainer card allows the opponent to take a Prize card varies by the card, with cards of the EX Series or older not providing Prize cards while cards of the Diamond and Pearl Series or newer providing Prize cards equivalent to normal Pokémon cards.
The primary purpose of a Fossil Trainer card is that they can evolve into Fossil Pokémon. Even the lowest form of a Fossil Pokémon's Evolution chain is a Stage 1 Pokémon, so those cards have to enter play by evolving from a Fossil Trainer card. The Fossil Trainer card that a Fossil Pokémon evolves from varies by which set the Fossil Pokémon is in, as new Fossil Trainer cards are released in new expansions. In some cases, multiple different Evolution chains start from a singular Fossil Trainer card. In other cases, each Evolution chain has a dedicated Fossil Trainer card, having the name of the fossil the species is revived from.
The first Fossil Trainer card was Mysterious Fossil, which could be evolved into any of the three Generation I Fossil Pokémon: Omanyte, Kabuto, and Aerodactyl. It has only 10 HP, lower than even Magikarp. It does match the HP of Clefairy Doll, another Trainer card played as a Pokémon. This card continued to see printings into the EX Series, although EX Legend Maker increased the HP Mysterious Fossil has to 50. It does not allow opponents to take Prize cards when it is Knocked Out. It also has the customary immunity to Special Conditions.
The EX Series introduced two new Fossil Pokémon, Lileep and Anorith. These species received dedicated Fossil Trainer cards for their line starting with the EX Sandstorm expansion: the Root Fossil and the Claw Fossil, respectively. These cards included beneficial Poké-Bodies, making these cards slightly stronger. They have 40 HP. Again, these cards do not allow opponents to take Prize cards when they are Knocked Out, and they cannot be affected by Special Conditions. This would herald the end of shared Fossil Trainer cards for a while, as the Diamond and Pearl Series followed this series lead and introduced more individual Fossil cards.
The Diamond & Pearl Series added the Skull and Armor Fossil cards, for the new species of Cranidos and Shieldon. It then went the extra mile and added individual Dome Fossil, Helix Fossil, and Old Amber cards for its printings of Kabuto, Omanyte, and Aerodactyl. All of these cards included included Poké-Bodies, and were printed with 50 HP. The Root and Claw Fossil cards were also reprinted, keeping their older 40 HP. However, starting with Mysterious Treasures, the expansion which added the Skull and Armor Fossils, Knocking Out a Fossil Trainer card is equivalent to Knocking Out a Pokémon. Thus opponent take a Prize card after doing so. This change even applied to the Root and Claw Fossil reprints, and continues to be true today. However, these cards still cannot be affected by Special Conditions.
No Fossil Trainer cards would be printed for nine years, as their last printing was in Platinum: Arceus. Fossils and Fossil Pokémon skipped the HeartGold & SoulSilver series wholesale, and the Black & White Series and XY Series experimented with a different set of mechanics for putting Fossil Pokémon into play.
Ultra Prism, of the Sun & Moon Series, saw the return of a shared Trainer card which could evolve into any Fossil Pokémon released during the Sun & Moon Series. The card is Unidentified Fossil, and this card broke the long standing tradition of being unable to be affected by Special Conditions. It has 60 HP, indicating a gradual increase with each series. It was also printed in the Sword & Shield Series, primarily in later sets, continuing to evolve into most of the Fossil Pokémon that saw print. This included the Fossil Pokémon of Generations V and VI, Archen, Tirtouga, Tyrunt, and Amaura which previously did not evolve from Fossil Trainer cards. By this point, Pokémon Powers had been phased out in favor of Abilities. However, Unidentified Fossil does not have an Ability in lieu of the older Poké-Body.
Earlier in the Sword and Shield Series, Darkness Ablaze included Rare Fossil. This card exclusively evolves into the Generation VIII Fossil Pokémon: Dracozolt, Arctozolt, Dracovish, and Arctovish. Those Pokémon do not evolve from Unidentified Fossil. Rare Fossil does include the Special Condition immunity, and has 10 more HP compared to the concurrent Unidentified Fossil for a total of 70 HP
Black & White Series
- Main article: Restored Pokémon (TCG)
Scarlet & Violet Series onward
From the Scarlet & Violet Series onward, Fossil cards are formatted under the unified "Antique" modifier written in small text before the name of the fossil, distinguishing them from previous Fossil cards. They are referred to in the 151 expansion rulebook as "Antique Fossils".[8] The first three Antique Fossil cards are the Antique Dome Fossil, Antique Helix Fossil, and Antique Old Amber from the 151 expansion.
Antique Fossil cards always have 60 HP, an immunity to Special Conditions, and an Ability, in a first for Fossil Trainer cards. They can only evolve into specific Pokémon that are mentioned on the cards. The mechanic of Antique Fossil cards having Abilities and only being able to evolve into specific Pokémon is reminiscent of the pre-Black & White Series version of Fossil Trainer cards.

Other cards depicting fossils
Some expansions have other cards that depict fossils, but are not Fossil Trainer cards. These cards generally offer an alternative means of putting Fossil Pokémon into play.
The first of these was Fossil Egg from Neo Discovery, which is a Trainer card that puts any card that evolves from Mysterious Fossil into play from either the deck or the hand, but only on a successful coin flip. Buried Fossil from Skyridge is a Colorless-type Pokémon, one of very few Pokémon cards that does not depict a Pokémon species. It has unique templating that allows it to evolve into any card that evolves from Mysterious Fossil. Unlike the Fossil Trainer cards, it can retreat, and includes a helpful Poké-Power. It has 30 HP. It also keeps the immunity to Special Conditions from the Fossil Trainer cards, but cannot be freely discarded from play. Last in this odd group is Holon Fossil from EX Holon Phantoms. It is a Trainer card that updates Fossil Egg. It still uses a coin flip, but on Heads it puts a Fossil Pokémon from one's deck into play, and on Tails it puts a Fossil Pokémon from one's hand into play. The Fossil Pokémon it works with are specified by name, so it only includes the ones from Generation III and older.
The Black & White Series changed how Fossil Pokemon enter play, and therefore how Fossil cards work. The base species of Fossil Pokémon have a different stage than normal: Restored Pokémon. This stage is a non-Basic, unevolved Pokémon stage, so they are not Evolution cards. However, they still cannot be put into play from a player's hand. Instead, each Restored Pokémon has a matching fossil Item card, which is a card that depicts the fossil the species is restored from in the video games. These cards all have the same effect, looking at the bottom 7 cards of a deck. If a Pokémon card associated with the fossil is one of those cards, that Pokémon can be into play. This is the primary way for Restored Pokémon to enter play. For example, Archen can only be put into play via the effect of Plume Fossil, one of this group of Fossil cards. Notably, this group of cards only checks for a Pokémon's name, not its stage. This means that these cards can put older or newer non-Restored Pokémon into play as well.
Noble Victories introduced this mechanic, along with the Cover and Plume Fossils for Tirtouga and Archen. The cards were reprinted in Plasma Blast along with the new Root Fossil Lileep. This card incorporates Lileep into the Restored Pokémon mechanics, using the name of the Pokémon as a suffix to avoid conflicting with the older Fossil Trainer card named Root Fossil. It also marked the first time one of the Fossil Pokémon was printed without the others that are part of the same Generation.
The XY Series continued to use Restored Pokémon and these fossil mechanics, with the Jaw, and Sail Fossil cards of Furious Fists working with Tyrunt, and Amaura. Fates Collide brought back the Generation I Fossil Pokémon, with Dome Fossil Kabuto, Helix Fossil Omanyte, and Old Amber Aerodactyl cards. Lastly, Steam Siege included a Claw Fossil Anorith to work with Anorith and an Armor Fossil Shieldon to do the same for Shieldon. No cards for the Skull Fossil were released to work with the Restored Pokémon mechanics, and the Sun & Moon Series returned to the traditional Fossil Trainer card mechanics.
Some cards have fossils in their art, especially ones that are related to cards depicting fossils, Fossil Trainer cards, or Fossil Pokémon.
The following is a list of these Fossil cards, excluding the ones tied to Restored Pokémon. Those are found on the articles of the fossils they depict, as well as on the Restored Pokémon article. Cameos of fossils are also excluded.
