Mysterious Fossil
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.
This card allows you to treat a Trainer card as a Pokémon on the bench. This is useful for filling empty slots in your deck without using a real Pokemon space, while remaining immune to status effects.
Which deck it belongs in
It suits decks that need to meet specific energy requirements or fill out the bench count. It works well in strategies where you want to keep your actual Pokémon safe from conditions.
