Description
The 2001 Pokémon Neo Discovery Kabuto card (No. 56) represents a foundational moment in the trading card game's early expansion history. Designed by Yuka Morii, this Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon evolves from Mysterious Fossil and carries Pokédex number 140. Collectors appreciate this card for its classic design aesthetics and its specific gameplay utility within the Neo Block era. In terms of mechanics, Kabuto features the Revive Friends ability, allowing players to search their deck for another Kabuto to place on the Bench. Its Work Together attack offers variable damage based on the number of related fossil Pokémon on the bench, making it a strategic piece for combo-based decks. As a Common rarity card, it serves as a staple for set completionists and players looking to build authentic decks from this release. The card remains a recognizable piece of Pokémon TCG history, bridging the gap between the original base set and the more complex mechanics introduced in later expansions.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Ability: Revive Friends
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for a card named Kabuto and put it on your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward. Treat the new Kabuto as a Basic Pokémon. This power can't be used if Kabuto is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed (or if your Bench is full).
Attack: Work Together (10+)
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto, and Kabutops on your Bench.
On rare occasions, some have been found as fossils which they became while hiding on the ocean floor.
