Kabutops is the 9th Pokemon from Generation 1 that I’ll be designing a Mega Evolution for, Rock doesn’t have that much Pokemon capable of Mega Evolution I’ll be focusing on the types with the least amount first and Rock is the focus. I’ve done Golem before but I want a Mega Evolution that’s compatible with both the original form and its regional variant of Golem.
So in case of Kabutops, I had to keep the Mega form faithful to regular Kabutops as it’s based on a horseshoe crab after evolving from Kabuto. So what it did for Mega Kabutops design by making the scythes from the original be more bigger and include rocky textures to show it’s a Rock type with a red marker on each one. The tail is extended longer to make it like a prehistoric dinosaur. The eyes were also changed to becoming yellow with sclera being red.
Now for the big finale you’ve been waiting for, the Base Stat Total, type combination and Ability I selected for Mega Kabutops and I’ll explain in full details shortly.
Base Stat Total:
60,115,105,60,70,80
This is the BST of base Kabutops
60.130.130.60.80.130
This is my BST for Mega Kabutops.
So the main focus for Mega Kabutops is to hit hard and fast using physical moves crushing foes with a much stronger Stone Edge, Leech Life, Liquidation, Aqua Jet, with enough Defense to take some hits. The biggest boost is to its Speed stat going from 80 to 130, +25 boost to Defense, +15 to Attack and finally +10 Special Defense.
The ability I’m giving for Mega Kabutops is Sap Sipper, this gets rid of Kabutops only 4x times weakness to Grass it grants an Immunity to grass type moves which Kabutops needs vitally and gets a plus +1 boost to Attack so it can hit back with powerful hits. It’s still has 3 weaknesses, those being Electric, Fighting and Ground. Though Rock has don’t have enough 100% accurate strong Physical moves, Kabutops still has Water type moves that do.
