Old Amber Pros and Cons

Avoid Placing In The Active Spot

Old Amber has a very low HP of 40, placing it among the weakest of Basic Pokemon, with no attack or retreat capability. It’s best to keep it on the Bench until it can evolve into Aerodactyl.

Compatible With Single-Pokemon Decks

Fossil cards, like Old Amber and Helix Fossil, work well in single Pokemon decks featuring only two Pokemon ex. In these decks, if your opponent uses Sabrina to force out a Pokemon ex that hasn’t fully charged with Energy, it can put you at a disadvantage. However, by adding a Fossil card to the Bench when you play your second Pokemon ex, you can counter this tactic. If one of your Pokemon gets knocked out, be sure to discard the Fossil card.
