Collector Insights

Butterfree is a Grass-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It appears in the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Burning Shadows set, released on August 5, 2017. The card’s flavor text highlights its intricate eye structure, describing each eye as composed of countless tiny eyes. Butterfree has no resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. Its two attacks include "Bye-Bye Heal," which costs one Grass energy to heal all damage from the player’s Pokémon and shuffle the card into their deck, and "Stun Spore," requiring Grass and two Colorless energies to deal 60 damage and potentially paralyze the opponent’s Active Pokémon. The card is classified as Rare and was illustrated by Shin Nagasawa. It does not have any abilities beyond its listed attacks and retreat cost.

Close examination of its large eyes reveals that each eye is composed of a myriad of tiny eyes.
