Collector Insights
Koga's Beedrill is a Pokémon TCG card from the Challenge from the Darkness set, released on June 25, 1999. The card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori and carries a Rare Holo rarity. It has 80 HP and features two distinct attacks. The first attack, Nerve Poison, costs two Grass Energy and deals 20 damage. When used, it flips a coin, and if heads, the defending Pokémon is both Paralyzed and Poisoned. The second attack, Hyper Needle, requires three Colorless Energy and deals 70 damage. This attack also involves a coin flip, with tails resulting in no damage, though the card's restriction prevents its reuse if Koga's Beedrill remains in play. The card's themecolor, a shade of green, aligns with its Grass-type attributes. Its design and mechanics reflect strategic gameplay through conditional effects and energy management.
