When you attach a Fighting Energy card from your hand to Dome Fossil (excluding effects of attacks or Poké-Powers), search your deck for a card that evolves from Dome Fossil and put it onto Dome Fossil (this counts as evolving Dome Fossil). Shuffle your deck afterward.
What to make of it
Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.
- It has an Ability, Rock Reaction. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
- No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
