Main article: Rare Fossil (Darkness Ablaze 167)

A Fossilized Bird is featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game on the Rare Fossil Item card included in the Darkness Ablaze expansion, first released in the Japanese Infinity Zone expansion. Although it is a Trainer card, it is played as if it were a Colorless-type Basic Pokémon, meaning the player's opponent takes a Prize card when it is Knocked Out. However, Rare Fossil can't be affected by any Special Conditions, can't retreat, and the player may choose to discard it at any time during their turn. It can evolve into any of the Generation VIII Fossil Pokémon: Dracozolt, Arctozolt, Dracovish, or Arctovish.

This card's effect is similar to that of Mysterious Fossil and Unidentified Fossil.

Trivia

• The Pokémon revived from the Fossilized Bird have 10 extra points in their Attack and Special Attack Stats, and 10 fewer points in their Defense and Special Defense stats, compared to their counterparts revived from the Fossilized Fish.
