This is why pure Fossil Decks don't really work, lol! Well I mean I did manage to get by here. But I think it was pretty lucky.

A lack of real Basic Pokemon is the first hurdle as you need to stall with good ones to get to some mediocre stage 1 fossil evolutions. At that point you may as well just use the good ones. :P Even if you can make it to the stage 2 evolutions, they aren't all that good themselves. Especially with their very specific energy requirements. Thus Energy Search is kind of a must because while you can use Rainbow Energy, you cause damage to their already-frail HPs. :P The advantage of Fossils though are similar to an Eeveelution deck in that you can possibly choose what typing would be best depending on the opponent's critters.

Deck space ends up being very restrictive overall due to all the evolutions and searches too. So no Energy Removal this build to try and make it as effective as possible. That being said, you "could" utilize one type's evolutionary line as that would likely be more effective. But the problem of their low HP and iffy attacks still remain. Therefor one of the two Aerodactyl (depending on your deck style) are your best shots. Probably not the Lv.30 one either because it's 3 for 40 and 10 damage to itself as opposed to Hitmonchan's straight 40 AND a 1 for 20. They aren't colorless, but if you are running all-fighting, it's no big deal. The lesser retreat is a bit of a benefit though, I guess... But if you are worried about retreats, you could just run Switch instead of Mysterious Fossil. Oh and yes I'm aware some Pokemon can search for Mysterious Fossil too. But they are of different energy types. So that would make space even tighter... Hence why Fossil Excavation was made.
