Collector Insights
Kabutops is a Pokémon card from the Mystery of the Fossils set, released on June 21, 1997. It is a Rare Holo card with the number 40 in the Japanese edition. The card’s supertype is Pokémon, and its theme color is a warm amber tone represented by the hex code #b18a4f. Kabutops has 60 HP and features artwork by Ken Sugimori, a renowned Pokémon illustrator. The card includes two attacks: Sharp Sickle, which costs two Fighting energy and deals 30 damage, and Absorb, requiring four Fighting energy to deal 40 damage. The Absorb attack has a unique effect, removing a number of damage counters from Kabutops based on half the damage dealt to the defending Pokémon, rounded up to the nearest 10. If Kabutops has fewer damage counters than calculated, all remaining counters are removed. This card exemplifies the strategic depth of the Pokémon TCG through its balanced energy costs and dynamic attack mechanics.
