What this card does

It deals 50 damage to the opponent's active Pokemon.

It heals Kabutops for the same amount of damage dealt.

Signature attack

Leech Life

Heal from this Pokémon the same amount of damage you did to your opponent's Active Pokémon. (50 damage)

The Leech Life attack allows Kabutops to recover health equal to the damage it inflicts. This makes it a durable choice because it can sustain itself during a match rather than fading away quickly.

Pro tip

Use Leech Life to keep Kabutops in play longer, but be cautious of Grass type attacks which will hurt it twice as much.

From the Pokédex

Kabutops was created from a fossil found at the peak of a mountain suggesting it lived at high altitudes long ago.

Note for the parent

Check the weakness to Grass types, as these will deal double damage to Kabutops during play.
