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 from the Legendary Collection was released in 2002 as part of a compilation set designed to celebrate the most iconic Pokémon from the early Base, Jungle, and Fossil expansions. By re-releasing these classic creatures with a distinct holographic foil treatment and the set's signature reverse-holo pattern, Wizards of the Coast aimed to offer longtime players and collectors a nostalgic retrospective of the game's formative years.
The original illustration for this Kabutops was created by artist Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer for the Pokémon franchise. His work during this era is defined by a clean, sharp aesthetic that highlights the creature's prehistoric, skeletal features. As a rare fighting-type card, it captured the intensity of the character's design, which was well-received for its faithfulness to the original Generation I concept art while providing a unique visual flair through the Legendary Collection's specialized printing process.
