Kabutops (#141)

Its sleek shape is perfect for swimming. It slashes prey with its claws and drains the body fluids. - Red/Blue

In the water, it tucks in its limbs to become more compact, then it wiggles its shell to swim fast. - Gold

Kabutops swam underwater to hunt for its prey in ancient times. The Pokémon was apparently evolving from being a water-dweller to living on land as evident from the beginnings of change in its gills and legs. - Ruby/Sapphire

It swims at speeds of roughly 29 knots, quickly closing in on its prey and slashing into them with its scythes to finish them off. - Ultra Moon
