Kabutops 7/92 · Legend Maker

Legend Maker is a set in the EX series. It was released on February 1, 2006. The printed size is 92. This checklist is longer, at 93 cards. Kabutops is 7/92, in position 7 of 93 on this checklist. Before it is 6 Golem, and after it is 8 Lapras. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Kabutops is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 110 HP. 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).

Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card. The same name is on 721 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 110 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 16 other cards of Kabutops list a different HP.

Ancient Shell is listed as Poké-Body. As long as you have Omanyte or Omastar in play, damage done to Kabutops by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Energy Stream lists 30 damage. The cost is Fighting. Search your discard pile for a basic Energy card and attach it to Kabutops. Extra Claws is another attack lists 50+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. If the Defending Pokémon is Pokémon-ex, this attack does 50 damage plus 30 more damage. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

I keep a set binder for Legend Maker, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legend Maker set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kabutops can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
