It functions as a Colorless Basic Pokémon and counts as a Trainer card, though it is treated as a Knocked Out Pokémon if discarded. The card’s ability, Skull Stone, allows players to flip a coin during their opponent’s turn if Skull Fossil would be Knocked Out by an attack, applying damage counters to the attacking Pokémon for each heads.

Its rarity is Common, and it was illustrated by artist Ryo Ueda. This card’s unique mechanics focus on defensive interactions during opponent turns.
