      He stomped on and crushed said crab, then Hera decided to put the crab in the sky. And that's the mythological reason Cancer became a constellation.

My insurance is being a bit aggravating with not wanting to cover the Xanax but I'll work something out. I'm doing better now that I'm on a set of medications that, for now at least, are working correctly. My parents weren't a fan of the Xanax or Thorazine but they can't really argue against a doctor in a hospital.

    Just like Armaldo, Kabutops was likely originally a bug/water type Pokémon in the ancient times of the Pokémon world and before gaining a 4x weakness to grass types. Plus Kabutops could’ve been another fossil Pokémon to receive a mega evolution oppose to letting Aerodactyl be the only fossil Pokémon to receive a mega evolution in Gen VI, leaving the others to only dream of receiving one and how more fossil Pokémon could mega evolve.

  • @ohohothisrocks
    @ohohothisrocks 5 лет назад +1

    kabutops is like that veteran swordsman who's not that experience in his younger days, but gradually grew stronger and more experienced as he grows and ages, unwavering and adapting to even the harsher of conditions. And his strength unmatched against even the strongest of foes. But as age caught up with him and he's no longer as strong as before, so he uses his experience in his battles to show he's that even through he's old, he's not a pushover. But alas allowing the newer generations to takeover while he retires.
    The fact that he has the same video duration as mewtwo speaks for itself

  • @TheWispGuy

    When it was showing Kabutops taking down a Mega Kangaskhan; I just thought what if they made Parental Bond hit an opponent twice, but also GETS hit twice by by the opposing Pokemon? It's the same reason for what we have already.
