#17 Beedrill - Base (base1)
Beedrill is a Grass-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of zero. It includes two attacks: Twineedle, which costs three Colorless energy and deals 30 damage multiplied by the number of heads from two flipped coins, and Poison Sting, requiring three Grass energy to deal 40 damage and potentially poison the defending Pokémon. The card’s flavor text describes Beedrill as a swift flyer using venomous stingers on its forelegs and tail for attacks. It has a resistance to Fighting-type moves, reducing damage by 30, and a weakness to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card was released in the Base set in 1999 and is categorized as a Rare card. Artist Ken Sugimori designed the illustration, and its theme color aligns with the Grass type’s green palette. Beedrill’s design reflects its role as a fast, multi-stinger Pokémon in the game.
