Physical Sweeper Kabutops (Retro)
In single battles, Kabutops's Physical Sweeper role is a brilliant. The intention of this moveset is to crush rivals using formidable physical attacks. In the old days prior to 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. ◆ Seismic Toss is a physical 0-base power Fighting-type move (does damage equal to your Kabutops's level). ◆ Rock Smash is a physical 20-base power Fighting-type move (50% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage). ◆ Dig is a physical 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. 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.
