Card text

40 HP · Trainer

Play Root Fossil as if it were a Basic Pokemon. While in play, Root Fossil counts as a C Pokemon (instead of a Trainer card). Root Fossil has no attacks of it's own, can't retreat, and can't be affected by any Special Conditions. If Root Fossil is Knocked Out, it doesn't count as a Knocked Out Pokemon. (Discard it anyway.) At any time during your turn before your attack, you may discard Root Fossil from play.
