Kabutops 6/100 · Majestic Dawn

Majestic Dawn is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on May 1, 2008. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. Kabutops is 6/100, in position 6 of 100 on this checklist. Before it is 5 Glaceon, and after it is 7 Leafeon. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Kabutops is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 120 HP. The card lists level 56. In the Pokédex this is Kabutops (#141), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Kabuto. In this catalog that name is Kabuto (#140).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

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). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 17 other cards of Kabutops list a different HP.

Primal Shell is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Kabutops is your Active Pokémon, your opponent can't play any Trainer cards from his or her hand. The attack Chop Up lists 70 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. Does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Grass +30. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It is thought that this Pokémon came onto land because its prey adapted to life on land."

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