Old Amber allows you to bring a fake Pokemon onto the field without using a real card slot. It provides a temporary shield because opponents must target it if they want to damage a Pokemon, but it cannot retreat so it stays put until discarded.
Which deck it belongs in
This card suits decks that need an extra target to protect your main attackers or support cards. It works well in strategies where you can easily discard cards to clear the field.
- •Creates a decoy target

Old Amber is a fossilised piece of amber that contains a prehistoric Pokemon inside, often used to revive ancient creatures.
Remember that this card counts as a Pokemon for rules purposes, so it occupies a bench spot and can be affected by attacks just like a real one.
