What it does
Whenever an attack (even your own) does damage to Kabuto (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack does half the damage to Kabuto (rounded down to the nearest 10). (Any other effects of attacks still happen.) This power stops working while Kabuto is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
A Pokémon that was resurrected from a fossil found in what was once the ocean floor eons ago.

Where it came from
The Kabuto card was released in 1999 as part of the Fossil expansion, the third set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game produced by Wizards of the Coast. This set followed the Jungle expansion and introduced players to fossil-themed Pokémon from the Kanto region, capturing the archaeological wonder central to the original Game Boy titles. As a common card, it served as a foundational element for players looking to incorporate the prehistoric Shellfish Pokémon into their decks.
The artwork for this card was created by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and illustrator for the Pokémon franchise. Sugimori’s style in the early sets is characterized by clean, focused lines and a distinct, painterly aesthetic that defined the visual identity of the first generation of Pokémon. The card captures Kabuto in a dormant state, reflecting its status as a resurrected fossil and maintaining the scientific, slightly mysterious tone that defined the original Fossil set’s aesthetic direction.
