Shining Kabutops is a Basic Fighting Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 40. In the Pokédex this is Kabutops (#141), generation 1 (Kanto).

Hironobu Yoshida illustrated this card. The same name is on 38 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 is named Kabutops, while this one is Shining Kabutops. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Shining. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hironobu Yoshida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 17 other cards of Kabutops list a different HP.

The attack Lightning Cut lists 30+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Lightning. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage and does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If tails, this attack does 30 damage and Shining Kabutops does 10 damage to itself. Water Slash is another attack lists 50+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Water, Water. Does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Shining Kabutops but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. Don't apply Resistance. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: You can't have more than 1 Shining Kabutops in your deck. The flavor text reads "This ancient Pokémon uses its razor-sharp claws to cut open its prey and gain access to its blood."

I keep a set binder for Neo Destiny, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Destiny 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 Fossil Pokémon. I still need this card.
