Pokémon Trading Card Game Caterpie

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Caterpie, the Worm Pokémon, as a Grass-type Basic Pokémon. The adorable artwork by Shimaris Yukichi shows Caterpie perched alertly on a branch amidst vibrant green leaves, highlighting its iconic green body and red antennae in a natural, cheerful setting.

As a fundamental Basic Pokémon, Caterpie offers straightforward utility for beginning a Grass-type evolution line. Its single attack, Bug Bite, costs one Grass Energy and deals a solid 20 damage, making it an efficient and accessible attacker in the early stages of a match.

Classified as a Common card (denoted by the circle symbol), it has 50 HP, a Fire-type Weakness (x2), no Resistance, and a one-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost. As noted in its Pokédex entry, Caterpie’s short feet are tipped with suction pads, enabling it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls—a trait that reflects its tenacious and persistent nature. This card is a perfect starting point for any deck building around classic Bug-type evolution lines like Caterpie > Metapod > Butterfree.
