Pokémon Trading Card Game Butterfree

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Butterfree, the graceful Butterfly Pokémon, as a Stage 2 Grass-type Pokémon. The elegant artwork by satoma depicts Butterfree in a serene, moonlit forest clearing, showcasing its delicate wings and gentle nature.

This card’s strength lies in its powerful and high-variance attack, Scale Hurricane. For two Grass Energy and one Colorless Energy, this attack has you flip 4 coins. It deals 60 damage for each heads, allowing for a potential 240 damage strike. Furthermore, if you get at least 2 heads, your opponent’s Active Pokémon becomes Paralyzed, locking it in place on their next turn. This combination of potential massive damage and status infliction makes Butterfree a thrilling and unpredictable attacker.

Classified as an Uncommon card (denoted by the diamond symbol), it has a solid 120 HP. It carries a Fire-type Weakness (x2), no Resistance, and a low one-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost. As noted in its Pokédex entry, Butterfree diligently collects honey, rubbing it onto its leg hairs to transport it back to its nest—a trait reflecting its supportive and resourceful role in nature. This card is a fantastic choice for players who enjoy high-risk, high-reward strategies and need a potent Grass-type attacker capable of swinging games.
