Magmar gets my vote
Magmar fossil beats magmar base definitely.
My common choice has to be Omanyte. Uncommon is impossible, Fossil has the most consistent, omnipotence-tier uncommon section ever.
A slight edge to Weezing or Gastly, maybeā¦or Golduckā¦or Cloysterā¦see?! Impossible.
Omnipotence for uncommons is so apt what a great choice of word.
Definitely Dragonite for me, no competition
Iām normally not into cute poses, but Iāve never even considered not having this card as my favorite, with the possible exception of Kabutops. I remember lusting after it for so many years, I donāt think I ever had the holo version as a kid. Few people did.
Itās strange how that happens, when neither you or your friends ever pull the one card considered to be the best. Happened with pretty much every set in my gang except for Jungle which didnāt really have that unquestionable #1 card that everyone was after. Itās not like people traded them away for irresistible deals or sold them for money either, they just didnāt pull them.
Beautiful thread, thank you! My all time favourite evolution line is Geodude - Graveler - Golem which is also my pick for the Fossil set.

This thread is looking good because of all your wonderful contributions. Great pics and lovely words. ![]()
I agree with Omanyte being #1 for me for the Fossil set as well. As you said, love the colors.
The Krabby and Kingler are both a close second.

Letās see if we can find at least one person for every card in the set. Weāve got quite a few currentlyā¦
Iāve always loved this card. Growing up I also thought Golduck was water/psychic because of the anime.
My longest thread lol made it to page 3. Love the claws on golduck.
As a kid I thought having multiple types of energy was cool. I would have put together the least competitive deck. ![]()
Cloyster is my favourite PokĆ©mon so obviously itās the card I choose. But when I saw Cloyster for the first time in card form I was so disappointed that it only has 50HP.
Kagemaru Himeno did an excellent job with the artwork IMO, the yellow background really contrast with Cloysterās purple shell.
There isnāt going to be a clear fav lol. Such varied responses is actually the best result. ![]()
All the cards in Fossil are great, but thereās something nostalgic about holo gengar.
I was so glad when Gengar was revealed as a kid. The fact he was also cgi to finish out the trio was great!
Fossil Articuno is so chonky but still one of my favourite WOTC cards
And Dragonite
Iām surprised the absolute kings of the set havenāt been mentioned but i guess people just skipped the obvious answer of grimer and muk and went for next best choices ![]()
They have been mentioned.
How could I not have them among my favorites ![]()
