#33 Butterfree - Jungle (base2)
Butterfree is a Grass-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring two distinct attacks. Its first attack, Whirlwind, costs two Colorless Energy and deals 20 damage, forcing the opponent to switch their Benched Pokémon with the Defending one if applicable. The second attack, Mega Drain, requires four Grass Energy and deals 40 damage, removing damage counters from Butterfree based on the Defending Pokémon’s damage after applying Weakness and Resistance. The card carries a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30, but is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. It belongs to the Base set, released in 1999 as part of the Jungle series, and is illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. The card’s flavor text describes its ability to release toxic dust during battles, emphasizing its airborne combat style. Butterfree is classified as an Uncommon rarity and has no retreat cost, making it a versatile defensive option.
