Antique Cover Fossil

Antique Cover Fossil arrived with Black Bolt on 17 July 2025. Here is what it does once it is on the table, and what it is worth right now.

What the card itself says

Every line in this block is copied straight off the card. Nothing rounded, nothing judged.

ITS ABILITY

Protective CoverPrevent all effects of attacks used by your opponent's Pokémon done to this Pokémon. (Damage is not an effect.)

Printed exactly as it appears on the card.

What to make of it

Every line below comes from a number. Either it is printed on the card, or we counted it on tournament lists. You will not find a score here — you will find what matters when you decide whether to run it.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT

  • It has an Ability, Protective Cover. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
  • No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • None of the 1,351 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
  • Mark H, and that is the letter the next rotation takes away. After that you will not be able to play it in Standard.

What it costs

We have no price to show you for this card today. The link below takes you where it sells, and you will see the day's numbers there.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Black Bolt landed here on 17 July 2025.

In Japan these cards were already in shops on 6 June 2025, under the code SV11B. That is 41 days ahead of us.
