| ===Physiology===
| | Kabuto is a small Pokémon with a large brown shell covering the entirety of its body with the exception of two small eyes facing upwards on the outside of its shell, which it uses for sight when it hides on the ocean floor. The make-up of its body is almost entirely unknown with the exception of its short yellow legs, and luminescent red eyes. Having been thought extinct as of roughly 300 million years ago, in modern days, most living Kabuto are resurrected from [[Dome fossil]]s. |
| Kabuto is similar to a shellfish with a tan shell. There are two small black dots, which are a second pair of eyes, on the front of its shell. Kabuto uses these eyes when it hides deeper in its shell to protect itself from harm. Its black eyes sense what is going on outside of the shell while it is hiding. Underneath its shell is mostly black, with two red eyes, which glow in the dark, and {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with an insectoid body|four yellow-tan legs}}. Its shell turns into the Fossil that is used to resurrect it. | |

| ====Gender differences====
| | Although Kabuto have been found fossilized by way of lying on the ocean floor for millenniums, on rare occasions, it has been found still living. In its original time, it was prominently found on beaches, likely aided by its fast and powerful swimming ability. As seen in [[EP046|the anime]], Kabuto prefer seclusion and can be very territorial. |
| None.

| ===Special abilities===
| |
| Kabuto and its evolved form, {{p|Kabutops}}, favor using physical moves; whereas the {{p|Omanyte}} line is more adept at special attacks. Kabuto also happens to be slightly faster than Omanyte, while having weaker physical defense. It supposedly also has oils in its shell which can grant immortality; in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], many of their Fossils revived in the light of a red moon. | |
| | |
| ===Behavior===
| |
| Much like a turtle or pill bug, if Kabuto is flipped over onto its back, it becomes defenseless as it cannot flip itself back over on its own. It mostly attacks using its claws, which can scratch or drain energy.

| ===Habitat===

| Although Kabuto are believed to be extinct, living samples have been found deep under the sea. Many are resurrected from [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossils]], which can be found in [[Kanto]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Johto]] and even the faraway [[Unova]] region.
