Kabutops [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Kabutops #25 is the non-holo Rare counterpart to Neo Discovery’s holographic Kabutops #6, giving collectors a 1st Edition WotC version of the same dramatic Kimiya Masago artwork in a more understated finish.
Set Lore
This card comes from Neo Discovery, the English set released on June 1, 2001, the expansion famous for exploring the Ruins of Alph and other mystery-heavy Johto themes that made fossil Pokémon like Kabutops feel right at home.
Artist
Kabutops was illustrated by Kimiya Masago, an artist whose Pokémon TCG work began in the Neo era and whose moody, high-impact paintings have made cards like this a favorite among vintage art collectors.
In-Game
The flavor text on this card echoes Kabutops’s official Pokédex portrayal as a streamlined prehistoric swimmer, emphasizing how it tucks in its limbs and uses its shell to cut through water at high speed.
Card History
Kabutops’s prehistoric mystique carried into the anime too, where multiple Kabutops appeared as revived Fossil Pokémon in "Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon," reinforcing why a Neo-era fossil card like this feels especially thematic.
