Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon thrived 300 million years ago. It's said that living specimens can still be seen in a certain region—a rare sight."

I keep a set binder for Team Up, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Team Up 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.
