Kabuto 48/110 · Legendary Collection

Legendary Collection is a set in the Other series. It was released on May 24, 2002. The printed size is 110, and the checklist is the same length. Kabuto is 48/110, in position 48 of 110 on this checklist. Before it is 47 Ivysaur, and after it is 49 Kadabra. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Kabuto is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 30 HP. The card lists level 9. In the Pokédex this is Kabuto (#140), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Mysterious Fossil. The card lists Kabutops, Kabutops (#141) under evolves to.

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Kabuto (#140) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Kabuto 50/62 in Fossil (1999). Both list 30 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Uncommon. 11 other cards of Kabuto list a different HP.

Kabuto Armor is listed as Pokémon Power. Whenever an attack (even your own) does damage to Kabuto (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack does only half the damage to Kabuto (rounded down to the nearest 10). (Any other effects of attacks still happen.) This power stops working while Kabuto is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Scratch lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "A Pokémon that was resurrected from a fossil found in what was once the ocean floor eons ago."

I keep a set binder for Legendary Collection, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legendary Collection set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kabuto can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
