CARDEX BACKGROUND

The story behind this Trainer card

Mysterious Fossil is played as a Colorless Basic Pokémon while also counting as a Trainer. It has no attack of its own, cannot retreat, and is unaffected by Special Conditions. Its Knock Out does not count as a Pokémon being Knocked Out, but it is discarded. During your turn before attacking, you may also voluntarily discard it from play.

Background on this Trainer card’s printed effect; its edition, language and finish remain distinct.

A detail worth noticing

The card retains two designations in play, Colorless Pokémon and Trainer. The Knock Out exception does not prevent its discard: the text specifies removing it despite it not counting as a Knocked Out Pokémon.

Printed card effect

Play Mysterious Fossil as if it were a Basic Pokémon. While in play, Mysterious Fossil counts as a Colorless Pokémon (as well as 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.
