Its Ability

Rock Reaction

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.

Play Dome Fossil as if it were a Colorless Basic Pokémon. (Dome Fossil counts as a Trainer card as well, but if Dome Fossil is Knocked Out, this counts as a Knocked Out Pokémon.) Dome Fossil can't be affected by any Special Conditions and can't retreat. At any time during your turn before your attack, you may discard Dome Fossil from play. (This doesn't count as a Knocked Out Pokémon.)

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.

  1. A strength

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Rock Reaction. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. A strength

    No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
