Kabutops H13/144 · Skyridge

Kabutops is Pokédex #141, generation 1 (Kanto). Kabutops is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Kabuto. In this catalog that name is Kabuto (#140).

Kabutops sits at H13/144 in Skyridge, position 163 of 182. Before it is H12 Jolteon, and after it is H14 Ledian. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on May 12, 2003. The printed size is 144. This checklist is longer, at 182 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Primal Aura is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Kabutops is your Active Pokémon, neither player can play Basic Pokémon or Evolution cards from his or her hand to evolve Benched Pokémon. The attack Dual Cut lists 50× damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 50 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

Kabutops (#141) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 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 90 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. 13 other cards of Kabutops list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Skyridge set binder is where a full Skyridge 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.
