#140Kabuto
ROCKWATERCOMMONKabuto shows up in the level 20 hunt and averages 24 of loot and 248 XP per kill.
Is Kabuto worth hunting?
Among the 30 Pokémon in the level 20 hunt, Kabuto ranks 8th for loot per kill — 3% above the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
50% of all loot comes from a single item: Stone Orb. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Dome Fossil (500 at the NPC), at 1.79% chance — on average one every 56 kills.
For XP it ranks 18 of 30 at this level — 248 per kill.
