The attack Fossil Search lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Search your deck for up to 2 Rare Fossil cards and put them onto your Bench. Then, shuffle your deck. Surf is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "The reason it hasn't changed at all in a hundred million years is that it's apparently already a perfect life-form." The regulation mark is D.

Relicanth (#369) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2026. The earliest other card is Relicanth 24/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and MAHOU illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Relicanth list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads MAHOU. I count 122 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Darkness Ablaze set binder is where a full Darkness Ablaze set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Relicanth can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
