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 Basic Pokémon. While in play, Claw Fossil counts as a Colorless Pokémon (as well as a Trainer card). Claw Fossil has no attacks of its own, can't retreat, and can't be affected by any Special Conditions. If Claw Fossil is Knocked Out, it doesn't count as a Knocked Out Pokémon. (Discard it anyway.) At any time during your turn before your attack, you may discard Claw Fossil from play.

Where it came from
The Claw Fossil card was introduced in the 2006 Pokémon TCG expansion set EX Legend Maker, which was the twelfth set in the EX series. This card was designed to represent the mechanic of fossilized Pokémon, allowing players to play the fossil card onto the bench as a basic Pokémon before evolving it into Anorith. The mechanic was a staple of the era, reflecting the game's focus on deep strategic evolution chains.
The card illustration was created by artist Ryo Ueda, known for his distinct, often textured approach to Pokémon artwork during the mid-2000s. The design features a stylized, weathered rock housing the fossil, aiming to capture the archaeological theme of the Hoenn region. Upon release, the card was widely distributed as a common, serving as a functional, utilitarian component for decks centered around the popular fossil-based creatures of the third generation.
