The Kabutops card depicts this ancient Pokémon in a poised stance, its sharp sickles ready for action. Surrounded by a muted aquatic backdrop, it embodies a creature that has evolved to thrive in its environment, showcasing both grace and a hint of menace. The careful detailing adds depth to the scene, suggesting a world steeped in mystery and history. This moment captures the essence of Kabutops as a predator, inviting the viewer to reflect on its primal existence.
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.
