Kabutops is a dual-type Rock/Water Fossil Pokémon, originally introduced in Generation I. It is the final evolution of Kabuto, evolving from the Stage 1 form. Kabutops is based on the extinct arthropod *Anomalocaris*, a predatory creature from the Cambrian period, known for its raptorial appendages and segmented body. In the Pokémon world, Kabutops is depicted as an ancient, aquatic predator, perfectly adapted for hunting in prehistoric seas. Its scythe-like claws are incredibly sharp, allowing it to slice through prey with ease. Fossilized Kabuto specimens can be revived into living Pokémon, offering a glimpse into the distant past. In the games, Kabutops is often found in areas like the Cinnabar Island Pokémon Lab after players revive a Dome Fossil. Its role in the anime often highlights its ancient origins and formidable predatory nature. Type-wise, as a Rock/Water Pokémon, Kabutops has resistances to Fire, Ice, Flying, Normal, and Poison types, but is vulnerable to Electric, Grass, Fighting, and Ground types, with a double weakness to Grass. Its unique combination of types and design has made it a memorable figure among fans of ancient Pokémon.
