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.

Trivia

  • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Kabuto was originally known as "Att", which is derived from the word "Atlantis".
  • Kabuto and its evolved form share their category name with Blastoise. They are all known as the Shellfish Pokémon.

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.
