Search your deck for Omanyte, Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Lileep, or Anorith and put up to 2 of them onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward. Treat the new Benched Pokémon as Basic Pokémon.
- Time Spiral


If your opponent has any Evolved Pokémon in play, choose 1 of them and flip a coin. If heads, remove the highest Stage Evolution card on that Pokémon and have your opponent shuffle it into his or her deck.
Artwork Description
The artwork on this card depicts Lileep emerging from ancient ruins with a serene sky behind, its tentacle-like petals gently reaching out as it stands firmly amid fragmented stone pillars and weathered structures.
Playability Overview
Lileep’s ability to quickly fetch key Fossil Pokémon offers strategic board setup, while Time Spiral can disrupt opponent evolution stages, blending offense with tactical control, though it requires careful energy management.
Binder Inspiration
Main Binder Theme: Fossil RevivalThis card has a unique vibe with its vibrant greens and that quirky design of Lileep. I’d suggest placing it on a “Fossil Adventure” page. The art captures a sense of ancient life, so it pairs well with other fossil Pokémon like Omanyte or Kabuto. Keep it surrounded by cards that evoke a prehistoric feel.Additional Binder Suggestions: Ancient Ruins / Quirky / Bright Green / Fossil Find / Evolution Chain
