Plan this partner in PokéBonk

This analysis describes the Kabuto League partner and its evolution line, not necessarily the current form alone.

Kabuto combines armor with flat damage reduction that scales with player level. Kabutops then improves compatible strike/boomerang slots, giving the defensive opening a worthwhile offensive transition.

Trade-off: The reduction has a damage floor, and evolution is delayed until level 40.

Passive: Fossil Armor

Ultimate progression: Spinning Shell / Fossil Slash

Curated kit: Aqua Jet (Lv. 1) · Sacred Sword (Lv. 2) · Stone Axe (Lv. 4) · Razor Shell (Lv. 7)

Later moves become eligible offers; they are not automatically equipped.
