Mr Briney’s on a Fossil

[SLOW DECK]

Can you Mr Briney’s a Claw Fossil?

Why? I run a Wartortle Deck where I Switch with Wartortle with a Claw Fossil and want to know if I can use Mr. Brinney to pick up the Active Fossil.

I would think you can.

While in play, fossils are treated as regular pokemon. So you could use Mr. Briney's Compassion on a fossil.

Why though?You can just discard it...

[Prime]

Well, after you discard a few, you start to run out of them. If you have nothing else you can do with it, you can pick it up, put it back on the bench, and smash turn for it again.

Okay....I see now.
