In-Depth Analysis
Kabuto totals 355 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Defense (90) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker HP (30).
Its Rock, Water typing leaves Kabuto with 4 weaknesses against 5 resistances. Watch out for Grass moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 6 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Kabuto a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
