#45 Caterpie - Base (base1)

Caterpie is a Grass-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It requires one Colorless Energy to retreat and has a converted retreat cost of 1. The card features a single attack named String Shot, which costs one Grass Energy and deals 10 damage. Upon use, the attacker flips a coin, and if it lands heads, the defending Pokémon is paralyzed. The card’s flavor text describes its ability to climb surfaces using suction pads on its feet. Caterpie has a weakness to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. It was first released in the Base set on January 9, 1999, and is classified as a Common rarity card. The artwork is credited to artist Ken Sugimori.
