What it does
If Claw Fossil is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if Claw Fossil is Knocked Out), put 1 damage counter on the Attacking Pokémon.
Play Claw Fossil as if it were a Colorless Basic Pokémon. (Claw Fossil counts as a Trainer card as well, but if Claw Fossil is Knocked Out, this counts as a Knocked Out Pokémon.) Claw 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 Claw Fossil from play. (This doesn't count as a Knocked Out Pokémon.)

Where it came from
The Claw Fossil card was released as part of the Legends Awakened expansion, which debuted in the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2008. Designed to represent the prehistoric Pokémon Anorith, the card functions as a Trainer item that players must play to their bench as a basic Pokémon before evolving it. This mechanic was a staple of the Diamond and Pearl era, reflecting the game's focus on fossil restoration themes.
The artwork for this particular card was produced by Kouki Saitou, a prolific illustrator known for his dynamic and character-focused style within the Pokémon TCG. Saitou’s depiction emphasizes the rugged, ancient nature of the fossil, aiming to capture a sense of archeological discovery. Upon its release, the card was widely received by players as a functional utility piece, serving as a gateway to the powerful Armaldo evolution line that defined several competitive decks of the period.
