Whoah! that shaymin sky forme will completely break the meta! 20 damage only for one colorless energy? I just can't believe why such a broken attack would use colorless energy, making it a splashable tech into any deck!

Can't wait to abuse bastiodon.
previous versions of shieldon had 80 or 90 hp 100 isn't that much of a change when hp in general has gone up.
anyway glad we are back to mysterious fossil/named fossils instead of restored poke, the restored mechanic was just too clunky without enough support to make it worth it (maybe if they had kept twist mountain in play).
still the change back brings a few questions, like can we rare candy from mysterious fossil to a stage 2 that currently only have restored stage 1s like carracosta/archeops. What about ones that evolved from mysterious fossil back in the day like kabuto/omanyte, can they only rare candy in unlimited and have to wait for a new print of the stage 1 in standard/expanded.
edit: forgot rare candy is basic->stage 2 and the restored stage makes the BW-XY era fossils end at stage 1 (not counting break evo)

100 is common for heavy Pokémon like Shieldon and Rhydon, ma boi.
Seems interesting that how Fossil mechanic works
The important thing to know is that shieldon doesn't have a retreat cost of 3, it's 2. Which means you can't search it with Heavy Ball. Boo.....
sine the fossil is a basic pokemon and the evolved pokemon are stage 2 pokemon that eventually evolve from the fossils, doesn't that mean you can use rare candy on the fossil?
I have some questions that I guess can only be answered once the sets are officially legal and with official rulings.
Can stage 1 Shieldon actually evolve into Stage 1 Bastiodon?
And can you use a rare candy on a mysterious fossil in order to evolve into a Stage 1 Bastiodon? (I am using Bastiodon as the example, but any fossil would work). Also if there are no lets say lileeps in this set, since this mysterious fossil is intended to have lileeps evolve from it in the future, can we go ahead and use a rare candy on a mysterious fossil to evolve into a cradily even if a SM era Lileep and Cradily aren't out yet? [Plasma blast in expanded has a Cradily IE]

You cannot Rare Candy into a Stage 1 Bastiodon (STS), but you can Rare Candy into the SM5 Stage 2 Bastidion. Rare Candy specifies it must be a Stage 2 evolution. You also cannot Rare Candy into PLB Cradily because it's a Stage 1.
Stage 1 Shieldon can evolve into Stage 1 Bastiodon. Bastiodon says "Evolves from Shieldon" which means it can evolve from any Shieldon card.
Yessssssssssssss
Actually no because rare candys text is "
Choose 1 of your Basic Pokemon in play. If you have a Stage 2 card in your hand that evolves from that Pokemon, put that card on the Basic Pokemon.(This counts as evolving that Pokemon.) You can't use this card during your first turn or on a Basic Pokemon that was put into play this turn." And restored fossil is a trainer not a pokemon.
It says ‘play this card as if it were a 60 HP Pokémon’. Therefore I would be very surprised if you could not use Rare Candy on it.
but once you abuse it somebody can play cyrus prism star and sylveon gx and then you are forced to bring it into your hand if they have sudowoodow on their bench.
Doesn't Cyrus only work if your active Pokemon is Water or Steel, not the opponent's?
Can see the rampardos getting play and now it's easier to set up fossil Pokemon we could get a fossil Pokemon GX card soon like Tyrantrum in the next set.
Ugh...please don’t include some Lost World - type card. One of my old friends used to play this stupid Mime Jr. with that stadium(not competitively)
