Physical Sweeper Kabuto (Retro)
For single battles, Kabuto is a noteworthy Physical Sweeper. This moveset is formulated to overwhelm foes with devastating physical attacks. Remember before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. With a Gold Berry equipped to it, restores 30 hp when at 1/2 max hp or less then the Gold Berry gets consumed.
◆ Slash is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (high critical hit ratio). ◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ◆ Ancient Power is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Rock-type move (10% chance to raise all stats by 1 stage (not acc/eva)). ◆ Rock Throw is a physical STAB-boosted 50-base power Rock-type move that deals damage. ◆ Dig is a physical 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ◆ Rock Smash is a physical 20-base power Fighting-type move (50% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage).

Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
