It evolves from Kabuto, which itself is revived from a Dome Fossil. This ancient predator is depicted as a swift and agile hunter, perfectly adapted to marine environments with its scythe-like claws. Its Pokédex entries often highlight its ability to swim at incredible speeds and slice prey with its sharp appendages. In the games, Kabutops is a powerful physical attacker, benefiting from its unique type combination, though it does carry a double weakness to Grass-type attacks. In the anime, Kabutops has made several appearances, often as a revived fossil Pokémon, showcasing its prehistoric power. Its design, inspired by trilobites and horseshoe crabs, has made it a fan favorite among those who appreciate the more ancient and formidable Pokémon. Its role in the competitive scene has varied across generations, but its raw power and unique typing always make it a consideration.
