Pokémon Power:
Kabuto Armor
Whenever an attack (even your own) does damage to Kabuto (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack does half the damage to Kabuto (rounded down to the nearest 10). (Any other effects of attacks still happen.) This power stops working while Kabuto is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Attacks
- Scratch10

Artwork Description
The artwork on this card depicts Kabuto scuttling across an ancient, underwater rocky seabed with a protective brown shell, its glowing red eyes peering out as it navigates its prehistoric ocean habitat.
Playability Overview
Kabuto's ability to halve all damage taken encourages a defensive playstyle focused on stalling and evolving into stronger forms rather than aggressive early attacks.
Binder Inspiration
Main Binder Theme: Fossil RevivalThis Kabuto card has a fascinating throwback vibe with its ancient look and earthy colors. It really fits in a "Prehistoric" section of your binder. The shell and texture could pair well with other fossil Pokémon like Aerodactyl and Omanyte, creating a cohesive theme that highlights their unique origins.Additional Binder Suggestions: Cave / Mysterious / Vintage / Ancient Life / Fossil Finders
