Kabuto (Japanese: カブト Kabuto) is a dual-type Rock/Water Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It is resurrected from a Dome Fossil and evolves into Kabutops starting at level 40.

Biology

Kabuto is a small Pokémon resembling a horseshoe crab. It is mostly flat with a protective, brown shell covering its body. There are two small, black eyes on top of its shell, which it uses for sight when it hides on the ocean floor. Underneath the shell is a black space that hides the structure of its main body. Only its four short, yellow legs and a second pair of luminescent red eyes are visible on its underside. In its original time, Kabuto was prominently found on beaches, likely aided by its fast and powerful swimming ability. While it is commonly believed to be extinct, isolated populations of Kabuto have been found to be unchanged for 300 million years.

Major appearances

Two Kabuto debuted in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon. They were some of the Fossil Pokémon that attacked Ash and Team Rocket until they were scared off by an Aerodactyl.

Multiple Kabuto appeared in Shell Shock!. In the episode, Umberto was saying that an island full of Kabuto Fossils would sink once the moon cast a red glow. His warnings turned out to be correct, because the Fossils came to life and the island collapsed, since the Fossils kept the island together.

A Kabuto appeared in Dealing With Defensive Types! in the Canalave Gym. It caught Team Rocket trying to steal food from the Gym kitchen whilst Ash was having his Gym battle with Byron, and attacked them with Aqua Jet, sending them blasting off.

Trivia

Origin

Kabuto's design consists of a mix of trilobite and the still-living (but considered a living fossil) horseshoe crab.

Name origin

Kabuto is derived from 兜蟹 kabutogani (horseshoe crab). 兜 Kabuto is also the Japanese word for helmet, specifically the traditional helmets samurai wear.
