What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for a card named Kabuto and put it on your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward. Treat the new Kabuto as a Basic Pokémon. This power can't be used if Kabuto is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed (or if your Bench is full).
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto, and Kabutops on your Bench.
On rare occasions, some have been found as fossils which they became while hiding on the ocean floor.

Where it came from
Released in the year 2000 as part of the Neo Discovery expansion, this card marked a significant transition in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Following the conclusion of the original Generation I sets, the Neo series introduced the Johto region to Western players. Kabuto, a fossil-based Pokémon, was included in this set to bridge the gap between the established Kanto roster and the new additions, grounding the expansion in the familiar lore of the series' origin.
The artwork for this card was crafted by Keiji Kinebuchi, an illustrator who defined much of the early TCG aesthetic with a distinct, often physical or paper-textured style. In this depiction, Kabuto is presented in a calm, aquatic setting that emphasizes its status as a prehistoric relic brought back to life. As a common card, it was widely distributed, making it a reliable piece for players looking to complete their sets and explore the mechanical synergies introduced in the Neo block.
