Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the June 2001 Neo Discovery expansion, this Kabutops card represents a pivotal era in the Pokémon Trading Card Game where the focus shifted toward the Johto region. The set was designed to introduce Generation II Pokémon to the competitive landscape, featuring mechanics that rewarded strategic evolution and synergy within a deck.

The artwork was illustrated by Hironobu Yoshida, who utilized a distinct, layered style to capture the fossilized Pokémon's aggressive nature. As a Rare Holo entry, it was prized by players for its 'Fasttrip' attack and its status as a Stage 2 evolution, fitting into the era's emphasis on rare, powerful water-type finishers that could exploit elemental weaknesses in the evolving meta.
