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 released as part of the Power Keepers expansion, which debuted in early 2007 as the final set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's EX series. This set was notable for revisiting and reprinting popular cards from previous expansions, serving as a concluding chapter that bridged the gap between the EX era and the upcoming Diamond and Pearl series. The inclusion of Fossil cards like the Claw Fossil was integral to the mechanics of the time, allowing players to evolve them into specific Fossil Pokémon, in this case, Anorith.
The card’s design reflects the standard aesthetic of the mid-2000s EX era, featuring the clean, minimalist layout characteristic of that period's common cards. Like other Trainer cards of its type, it was designed to provide a tactical utility within a deck, requiring players to play the card onto their bench as if it were a Basic Pokémon. While common in rarity and widely distributed, these cards are valued by collectors today for their role in completing the Power Keepers set and representing a nostalgic era of the game's competitive history.
