Item Description

Aerodactyl sits at number 1 in the Fossil set, and for many early players it was the most frustrating card they ever faced. Its Pokémon Power, Prehistoric Power, is simple and devastating: no more Evolution cards can be played. In an era when Stage 1 and Stage 2 lines were the backbone of nearly every deck, that one rule could freeze an opponent's entire strategy.

Aerodactyl is itself a Stage 1 that evolves from Mysterious Fossil, a Trainer card from the same set that is played like a Basic Pokémon, so you could put down the Fossil, evolve into Aerodactyl and shut the door behind you. The power stops working while Aerodactyl is Asleep, Confused or Paralyzed, which made status conditions the classic counterplay. It is a 60 HP Fighting Pokémon whose Wing Attack hits for 30 with three Colorless Energy, but the lock was always the point.

This is the Fossil 1st Edition printing, collector number 1/62, illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, in holofoil. Fossil was the third English expansion after Base Set and Jungle, and its holos carry the unmistakable look of the original Wizards of the Coast era. The 1st Edition stamp marks the set's earliest print run, which makes this card a centerpiece for a vintage binder or a Fossil set build.
