#7 Beedrill - Evolutions (xy12)

Beedrill is a Grass-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring a unique dual attack strategy. Its first attack, Poison Sting, costs one Grass energy and deals 30 damage while applying the Poison status to the opponent's Active Pokémon. The second attack, Swarming Sting, requires one Grass and one Colorless energy, dealing 40 damage multiplied by the number of Beedrill cards in play to a single opponent's Pokémon. This attack bypasses Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon, emphasizing its strategic versatility. Beedrill's design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, who captures the Pokémon's aggressive, swarm-like behavior. The card's flavor text describes Beedrill as a fast, toxic stinger-wielding creature that appears in swarms, reflecting its chaotic and dangerous nature. It belongs to the XY series, released in the Evolutions set on November 2, 2016, and is classified as a Rare card. Beedrill's sole weakness is to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage, shaping its gameplay dynamics.
