Kabuto

Description

As an Uncommon Stage 1 Fighting-type Pokémon, this card is a staple for those building comprehensive collections or seeking specific tactical options. Evolving from Mysterious Fossil, Kabuto brings a 60 HP presence to the battlefield, supported by a retreat cost of 2, making it a practical addition to any deck focused on defensive stability. The card’s strategic value lies in its unique abilities. The Ancient Protection ability provides a significant defensive advantage by removing Weakness for a specific group of Pokémon, including Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto, Kabutops, and Kabutops ex. This effect allows players to protect their broader roster from common damage types, creating a more resilient team structure. Complementing this defense is the Granite Head attack, which deals 20 damage and includes a potent secondary effect. During the opponent's next turn, any damage dealt to Kabuto by attacks is reduced by 10, further enhancing its survivability in competitive scenarios. Designed by Takao Unno, the card reflects the artistic style of the Legend Maker era, appealing to fans of the period's design aesthetics. For investors and hobbyists, the Legend Maker set holds a niche place in Pokémon TCG history, representing a specific chapter of the game's evolution. Collectors often seek out this release to complete set runs or to acquire cards with unique mechanical interactions that differ from modern standards. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or new to the trading card game, adding this Kabuto card to your collection provides both nostalgic value and functional gameplay utility.
