Play Root Fossil as if it were a Basic Pokémon. While in play, Root Fossil counts as a {C} Pokémon (instead of a Trainer card). Root Fossil has no attacks of its own, can’t retreat, and can’t be affected by any Special Conditions. If Root 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 Root Fossil from play.
Poké-BODY ⇢ Spongy Stone
At any time between turns, remove 1 damage counter from Root Fossil.

So this card says “instead of a Trainer card” while future reprints say “as well as a Trainer card”. Is this a case of mistranslation or was it changed and then errata’d?

Guess it’s just a different kind of card, with different effect.

I double checked, it was a rules change but I don’t think a it was a mistranslation. Either way it really changes how the card works
