fan club question / fossils

[BANGINBOX]

with the new rulings on the fossils, can fanclub be used to search for root fossil ?

Hm. With the new ruling, it could be argued both ways now.

But I would say no. Same reason, that in the deck, it's still a trainer.

[Orange Soda]

I believe the new rule only counts during setup. After the first turn has started, it only counts as a Pokemon when it's in play.

[HYPER EEVEE]

I would not think so

As soon as the fossil enters play, it becomes a Basic Pokemon. When out of play or after being removed from play (being in the deck or sent to the discard pile) it is a Trainer card, and is not under effect from any card that applies only to Basic Pokemon cards.
