Kabuto (50/62) from the Pokémon Fossil 1st Edition set is a beloved card for collectors and fans of the original Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Stage 1 Pokémon, Kabuto emerges from the mysterious past, revived from a Dome Fossil to bring ancient power to your deck. With its distinctive Rock/Water typing in the Pokémon world and a Fighting type classification in the TCG, this card captures the essence of a prehistoric warrior ready for battle. Featuring iconic artwork by Ken Sugimori, the card's design showcases Kabuto’s armored shell and fierce red eyes, making it a visually striking addition to any collection.

Boasting 30 HP and a simple Retreat Cost of one Colorless energy, Kabuto may seem modest in raw power, but its true strength lies in its Pokémon Power: Kabuto Armor. This ability halves all damage done to Kabuto by attacks (rounded down to the nearest 10), including those from your own moves, providing a unique defensive edge during gameplay. This protective trait remains active unless Kabuto is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed, making it a resilient and strategic choice in early-game tactics. Its single attack, Scratch, deals 10 damage and offers a straightforward offensive option, staying true to the simplicity of the early TCG era.

Released in October 1999 as part of the third Pokémon TCG expansion, the Fossil set introduced ancient Pokémon brought back to life, and Kabuto stands as a cornerstone of that theme. As a Common card in the 1st Edition print run, it is highly sought after for its historical significance and nostalgic value. Whether you're completing a vintage collection, building a retro-themed deck, or preserving a piece of Pokémon history, Kabuto (50/62) is a timeless treasure from the golden age of the Pokémon TCG.
