The Kabutops card captures the moment of this ancient Pokémon poised elegantly, its sleek body glistening under a subtle light. With its sharp claws raised, it embodies both grace and predatory instinct, ready to strike from its aquatic environment. The backdrop hints at a prehistoric world, evoking a sense of mystery and timelessness. This snapshot invites the viewer to appreciate the balance between beauty and danger in nature.
Remove a number of damage counters from Kabutops equal to half the damage done to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance) (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Kabutops has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.
