Attack Extra Claws (50+): If the Defending Pokémon is Pokémon-ex, this attack does 50 damage plus 30 more damage.
Card Details
Character Background
Kabutops from Fossil is a classic Stage 2 Fighting threat that rewards a measured tempo plan rather than all-out aggression. Sharp Sickle for 30 is solid for the era, but Absorb is the real draw: dealing 40 while healing off damage makes Kabutops surprisingly hard to wear down if you can keep it attacking. That pushes it toward a value-oriented control shell, where you trade efficiently and force the opponent to spend extra resources finishing it. Because it evolves from Kabuto, deckbuilding should prioritize consistency: run plenty of Fossil recovery or search support available in your format, plus ways to buy time while evolving. Kabutops also appreciates effects that soften the opponent’s Active Pokémon before it swings, since Absorb scales better when it lands meaningful damage. In lore terms, it feels like a relentless fossil predator—ancient, armored, and difficult to pin down once it starts carving through the field.
