#107 Fossil Excavation Map - Forbidden Light (sm6)

Fossil Excavation Map is a Trainer card from the Sun & Moon series, released as part of the Forbidden Light set on May 4, 2018. Designed by artist Yoshinobu Saito, it is classified as an Uncommon rarity card. The card’s rules allow players to choose between two actions: either search their deck for an Unidentified Fossil card, reveal it, and add it to their hand before shuffling their deck, or retrieve an Unidentified Fossil from their discard pile to their hand. Additionally, it permits the player to play multiple Item cards during their turn prior to their attack phase. The card’s functionality focuses on facilitating access to Unidentified Fossil cards through deck searches or discard pile retrieval. It does not specify any types, resistances, weaknesses, or retreat costs, aligning with its Trainer category. The card’s design emphasizes strategic resource management by enabling players to manipulate their available Fossil cards during gameplay. Its inclusion in the Forbidden Light set highlights its role in expanding the Sun & Moon series’ thematic exploration of fossil-based Pokémon mechanics.
