Its attacks

Hydrocutter

40×

Flip a number of coins equal to the amount of Energy attached to Kabutops ex. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads. You can't flip more than 3 coins in this way.

Spiral Drain

70

Remove 2 damage counter from Kabutops ex (remove 1 if there is only 1).

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    150 HP. Only 2 cards in Sandstorm carry more.

  2. A strength

    Hydrocutter hits for 40 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Sandstorm hits harder for that price.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Kabuto to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 2,021 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

The other cards of this Pokémon

Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 18 Kabutops cards on one page, priciest first.
