Every Butterfree card

The short version

Butterfree has four printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across three expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Promo A. It is a Stage 2 Grass-type Pokémon printed at between 120 and 130 HP, weak to Fire, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to two rarities — three Rares and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Everyday Wonders, at about 1 in 279 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 643 packs, which is about 11 months at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Vol. 1, Everyday Wonders and Pikachu packs. The most recent is Butterfree #013, from an expansion that shipped in October 2024. That printing carries the ability Powder Heal and attacks with Gust for 60. The card’s own words: “In battle, it flaps its wings at great speed to release highly toxic dust into the air.” It has been drawn by four artists.
