#9 Butterfree - Southern Islands (si1)
Butterfree is a Grass-type Pokémon with 80 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fire-type attacks with a ×2 multiplier. The card features two attacks: "Fly" costs three Colorless energy to deal 30 damage, flipping a coin to either prevent all effects of attacks on the opponent's next turn or negate the attack entirely. "Rainbow Powder" uses two Grass and one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage, flipping a coin to either paralyze or poison the defending Pokémon. The card’s flavor text highlights its waterproof poison scales, enabling activity during rainy conditions. It was released in the Southern Islands set in July 2001 and is illustrated by artist Keiko Fukuyama. The card’s theme emphasizes adaptability and defensive versatility through its dual attack mechanics.
