Collector Insights

Helix Fossil is a Trainer card with 50 HP, part of the Moonlit Pursuit set released on October 26, 2007. It is numbered 68 and classified as Uncommon rarity. The card functions as a Colorless Basic Pokémon for gameplay purposes but is also treated as a Trainer card. Its flavor text explains that it can be played as a Colorless Basic and counts as a Trainer, though it is considered a Knocked Out Pokémon if discarded. Helix Fossil cannot be affected by Special Conditions or forced retreats. Players may discard it during their turn before an attack, which does not count as a Knocked Out state. This unique interaction allows strategic flexibility in managing the card’s presence on the battlefield.

Play Helix Fossil as if it were a Colorless Basic Pokémon. (Helix Fossil counts as a Trainer card as well, but if Helix Fossil is Knocked Out, this counts as a Knocked Out Pokémon.) Helix 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 Helix Fossil from play. (This doesn't count as a Knocked Out Pokémon.)
