Its Ability

CurseMalédiction

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may move 1 damage counter from 1 of your opponent's Pokémon to another (even if it would Knock Out the other Pokémon). This power can't be used if Gengar is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.Une seule fois pendant votre tour (avant votre attaque), vous pouvez déplacer 1 marqueur de dégâts depuis 1 des Pokémon de votre adversaire vers un autre (même si cela met l'autre Pokémon K.O.). Ce pouvoir ne peut être utilisé si Ectoplasma est Endormi, Confus ou Paralysé.

Its attacks

Dark MindSombre-esprit

30

If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 10 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)Si votre adversaire a des Pokémon sur son Banc, choisissez l'un d'eux et cette attaque lui inflige 10 dégâts. (Ne pas appliquer la Résistance et la Faiblesse au Pokémon du Banc.)

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

    80 HP. Only 3 cards in Fossil carry more.

  2. A strength

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  3. A strength

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

  4. A strength

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

  5. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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.

  6. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Haunter to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Fossil landed here on 10 October 1999.
