Collector Insights
Butterfree is a Grass-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its attacks include Triple Charge, which costs one Colorless energy and allows the player to search their deck for up to three basic Energy cards, attaching them to any Pokémon before shuffling the deck. The second attack, Solar Beam, requires one Grass and two Colorless energies to deal 70 damage. The card’s flavor text describes a Pokémon with toxic scales that deters rival bird Pokémon by sprinkling its scales on them. Butterfree appears in the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Unbroken Bonds set, released on May 3, 2019. The card is classified as Rare and was illustrated by Midori Harada. It has no resistances but is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s design and mechanics reflect its thematic connection to Grass-type strategies and Energy management.
Its wings are covered in toxic scales. If it finds bird Pokémon going after Caterpie, Butterfree sprinkles its scales on them to drive them off.
