Its sleek shape is perfect for swimming. It slashes prey with its claws and drains the body fluids.

Where it came from
The Kabutops card was released as part of the Fossil expansion, the third main set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in Japan in 1997 and reached English-speaking markets in 1999. It served as a thematic follow-up to the Jungle set, introducing fossilized Pokémon that players had to revive from mysterious prehistoric items during gameplay. The set was designed to expand the tactical variety of the game, focusing on creatures that had previously only appeared in the lore of the original Game Boy titles.
The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and illustrator for the Pokémon franchise. Sugimori utilized his signature watercolor-inspired digital style to emphasize the prehistoric, skeletal nature of the creature, aiming to capture its intimidating posture and sharp-edged design. Upon release, the set was well received by players and collectors for its unique card mechanics and its deep integration with the established narrative of the Kanto region.
