What it does
Whenever Armor Fossil would be damaged by your opponent's attack, flip a coin until you get tails. For each heads, reduce that damage by 10.
Play Armor Fossil as if it were a Colorless Basic Pokémon. (Armor Fossil counts as a Trainer card as well, but if Armor Fossil is Knocked Out, this counts as a Knocked Out Pokémon.) Armor 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 Armor Fossil from play. (This doesn't count as a Knocked Out Pokémon.)

Where it came from
The Armor Fossil card was released as part of the Mysterious Treasures expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in North America in August 2007. This set focused on the generation four Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, introducing mechanics that allowed players to bring fossilized Pokémon into play from their hand, reflecting the restoration gameplay featured in the video games Diamond and Pearl.
The card was illustrated by Ryo Ueda, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for a clean, digital aesthetic. Ueda's design for the Armor Fossil focuses on the technical representation of the item as an archaeological artifact, maintaining a stark, functional look that aligns with the card's mechanical utility as an Item card used to evolve into Shieldon.
