Kabutops 27/110 · Legendary Collection

Kabutops is Pokédex #141, generation 1 (Kanto). Kabutops is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 30. The card says it evolves from Kabuto. In this catalog that name is Kabuto (#140).

Kabutops sits at 27/110 in Legendary Collection, position 27 of 110. Before it is 26 Jynx, and after it is 28 Magneton. The set belongs to the Other series. It was released on May 24, 2002. The printed size is 110, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Sharp Sickle lists 30 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting. Absorb is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Fighting, Fighting. Remove a number of damage counters from Kabutops equal to half the damage done to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance) (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Kabutops has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its sleek shape is perfect for swimming. It slashes prey with its claws and drains the body fluids."

Kabutops (#141) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Kabutops 9/62 in Fossil (1999). Both list 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. 15 other cards of Kabutops list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Legendary Collection set binder is where a full Legendary Collection set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kabutops can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
