Read more ↓Kabuto, the Shellfish Pokémon, is a fascinating creature from the Kanto region, first introduced in Generation I. It is a dual Rock/Water-type Pokémon, known for its distinctive hard shell and two large, glowing red eyes. Kabuto is a prehistoric Pokémon, often revived from the Dome Fossil, which players can choose to obtain in the original Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow games. Its diet is believed to consist of small aquatic organisms, which it likely filters from the water. In the wild, Kabuto would have inhabited ancient seas, scuttling along the seabed. It evolves into Kabutops, a formidable bipedal predator. Its unique status as a fossil Pokémon highlights the theme of ancient life and scientific revival within the Pokémon universe. Kabuto's type combination gives it specific advantages and disadvantages in battle, being strong against Fire, Flying, Bug, and Ice types, but vulnerable to Grass, Electric, Fighting, and Ground moves. Its unique biology and origin story make it a memorable part of the Pokémon lore.
