Kabutops 78/181 · Team Up

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

Kabutops sits at 78/181 in Team Up, position 78 of 198. Before it is 77 Kabuto, and after it is 79 Larvitar. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on February 1, 2019. The printed size is 181. This checklist is longer, at 198 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Fossilized Memories is listed as Ability. As long as this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, your opponent can't play any Supporter cards from their hand. The attack Rock Slide lists 80 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 20 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Its body had begun to change so it could function on land. But it didn't adapt in time and went extinct."

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 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 17 other cards of Kabutops list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shin Nagasawa. I count 303 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Up set binder is where a full Team Up 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.
