Collector Insights
Kabutops is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It appears in the Platinum series, part of the Arceus set released on November 4, 2009. The card is illustrated by artist Hajime Kusajima and is classified as a Rare Holo. Kabutops has no resistances but is weak to Grass-type attacks, taking 30 additional damage. Its attacks include Primal Scythe, which costs a single Fighting energy and deals 20 damage plus 50 more if Helix Fossil, Dome Fossil, or Old Amber is discarded from hand. The second attack, Rock Slide, requires one Fighting and two Colorless energy to deal 60 damage and inflicts 10 damage to two of the opponent’s Benched Pokémon. The card’s flavor text suggests Kabutops evolved to hunt land-based prey, reflecting its adaptation to terrestrial environments.
It is thought that this Pokémon came onto land because its prey adapted to life on land.
