Kabuto<sup>(JPJapanese: カブト

Romaji: Kabuto)</sup> is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Rock/Water Pokémon that made its first appearance in the first generation games Red and Blue. It evolves into Kabutops starting at level 40.

Physiology and Behaviour

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.
