Mysterious Fossil · 10 HP
Trainer › (Item) : Evolves into Omanyte, Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Aerodactyl ex, or Dark Omanyte · is: Fossil

Play Mysterious Fossil as if it were a Basic Pokémon. While in play, Mysterious Fossil counts as a {C} Pokémon (instead of a Trainer card). Mysterious Fossil has no attacks of its own, can’t retreat, and can’t be affected by any Special Conditions. If Mysterious Fossil is Knocked Out, it doesn’t count as a Knocked Out Pokémon. (Discard it anyway.) At any time during your turn before your attack, you may discard Mysterious Fossil from play.

    I embarrassingly just confused this for the original Fossil version. Damn.

    To be fair, the artwork is virtually the same, and the exposed portions of the border fit the lighter color of the ex era template better than the Base era template.

    The entry for this card incorrectly says “If Mysterious is Knocked Out, …”. It should say “If Mysterious Fossil is Knocked Out, …”
