Kabutops

ROCKWATERCOMMON

Kabutops shows up in the level 80 hunt and averages 99 of loot and 3,848 XP per kill.

Is Kabutops worth hunting?

Among the 43 Pokémon in the level 80 hunt, Kabutops ranks 7th for loot per kill — 8% 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.

62% of all loot comes from a single item: Crystal Stone. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.

The rare drop worth waiting for is Crystal Stone (50,000 at the NPC), at 0.12% chance — on average one every 820 kills.

For XP it ranks 26 of 43 at this level — 3,848 per kill.

Drop chance, count and NPC price for every item. Expected value already accounts for the chance and the average count.
