Collector Insights
Koga's Beedrill is a Grass-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of zero. It belongs to the Gym series, released as part of the Gym Challenge set in 2000. The card is numbered 9 and classified as a Rare Holo, with an artist credit to Ken Sugimori. Its primary attacks include Nerve Poison, which costs two Grass energies to deal 20 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze and poison the defending Pokémon, and Hyper Needle, a Colorless-cost attack that deals 70 damage but risks being nullified on a coin flip and imposes a restriction preventing reuse if Koga's Beedrill remains in play. The Pokémon resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fire-type moves, which deal double damage. Its theme color is a muted green (#99ac5d), aligning with its Grass typing and Gym set branding. The card’s design and mechanics reflect its role in competitive play, emphasizing strategic use of its dual attack options.
