Butterfree resembles a vaguely anthropomorphic butterfly with a purple body. Unlike true insects, it only has two body segments and four light blue legs. The upper pair of legs | Butterfree is a {{wp|lepidoptera|lepidopteran}} {{wp|insect}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which resembles a vaguely anthropomorphic {{wp|butterfly}} with a purple body. Unlike true insects, it only has two body segments and four light blue legs. The upper pair of its legs resemble small, three-fingered hands, while the lower pair resembles long, digit-less feet. Butterfree has two black antennae, a light blue snout with two fangs underneath, and large, red compound eyes. Its two pairs of wings are white with black {{wp|Insect wing#Venation|venation}}. Two oval scales on a female Butterfree's lower wings are black, but they are white on a male. | ||
The wings of Butterfree are coated with poisonous scales that easily fall off continuously as it flies. If inhaled, it results several status conditions. | The wings of Butterfree are coated with poisonous scales that easily fall off continuously as it flies. If inhaled, it results in several status conditions. Using this powder, it will defend {{p|Caterpie}} from bird Pokémon. This powder also repels water, enabling it to fly and gather honey even in the rain. Butterfree can use its sensitive antenna to detect the odors of blooming flowers six miles (ten kilometers) from its nest in search of nectar, which it carries with the hairs of its legs. Sometimes, it has territorial disputes with {{p|Cutiefly}} over fields of flowers. It also consumes sap from trees pierced by {{p|Heracross}}, as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''. Butterfree is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}, but it has also [[EP021|been observed]] flying near the ocean as part of its migratory breeding pattern. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Butterfree is known to sleep while flapping its wings. It tends to accidentally scatter highly toxic dust while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> | ||
===Forms=== | |||
Butterfree has a [[Gigantamax]] Form. | |||
Gigantamax Butterfree | As Gigantamax Butterfree, its wings become shades of bright and dark green with a white pattern. A fur-like circle attaches to Gigantamax Butterfree's back at the base of the wings. Its antennae also become bright green and extend to the point where the tip bends, and three red clouds surround them. Its eyes glow bright red. Several green scales, created from crystallized Gigantamax energy, can be seen floating around Gigantamax Butterfree. These are its most effective weapons, capable of causing paralysis, poisoning, or sleep. Gigantamax Butterfree scatters these scales by the winds that it generates with each flap of its wings; these winds are powerful enough to lift a 10-ton truck.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-butterfree/ Gigantamax Butterfree | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> | ||
Gigantamax Butterfree is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Befuddle}}. | |||

Butterfree (Japanese: バタフリー Butterfree) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Metapod starting at level 10. It is the final form of Caterpie.
Butterfree can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Butterfree if it has the Gigantamax Factor.
Biology
Butterfree is a lepidopteran insect Pokémon which resembles a vaguely anthropomorphic butterfly with a purple body. Unlike true insects, it only has two body segments and four light blue legs. The upper pair of its legs resemble small, three-fingered hands, while the lower pair resembles long, digit-less feet. Butterfree has two black antennae, a light blue snout with two fangs underneath, and large, red compound eyes. Its two pairs of wings are white with black venation. Two oval scales on a female Butterfree's lower wings are black, but they are white on a male.
The wings of Butterfree are coated with poisonous scales that easily fall off continuously as it flies. If inhaled, it results in several status conditions. Using this powder, it will defend Caterpie from bird Pokémon. This powder also repels water, enabling it to fly and gather honey even in the rain. Butterfree can use its sensitive antenna to detect the odors of blooming flowers six miles (ten kilometers) from its nest in search of nectar, which it carries with the hairs of its legs. Sometimes, it has territorial disputes with Cutiefly over fields of flowers. It also consumes sap from trees pierced by Heracross, as seen in the Pokémon the Series episode A Sappy Ending. Butterfree is found in temperate forests and jungles, but it has also been observed flying near the ocean as part of its migratory breeding pattern. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Butterfree is known to sleep while flapping its wings. It tends to accidentally scatter highly toxic dust while sleeping.[1]
Forms
Butterfree has a Gigantamax Form.
As Gigantamax Butterfree, its wings become shades of bright and dark green with a white pattern. A fur-like circle attaches to Gigantamax Butterfree's back at the base of the wings. Its antennae also become bright green and extend to the point where the tip bends, and three red clouds surround them. Its eyes glow bright red. Several green scales, created from crystallized Gigantamax energy, can be seen floating around Gigantamax Butterfree. These are its most effective weapons, capable of causing paralysis, poisoning, or sleep. Gigantamax Butterfree scatters these scales by the winds that it generates with each flap of its wings; these winds are powerful enough to lift a 10-ton truck.[2]
Gigantamax Butterfree is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Befuddle.

Trivia
- Butterfree was the first Pokémon shown in Pokémon the Series with an alternate color, pink in its case. This has only been seen in a single female, and unlike a Shiny Butterfree, which has green eyes and pink wings, limbs, and snout, this Butterfree only differed in its pink body and wings.
- Butterfree shares its category with Beautifly. They are both known as the Butterfly Pokémon.
- Butterfree can be seen as a parallel to Beedrill. Both of their unevolved stages evolve at level 7 and again at level 10. They both go through metamorphosis-like evolution and have the same base stat total of 395. Also, while Beedrill is exclusive to Black and Black 2, Butterfree is exclusive to White and White 2. Both also have an alternate form only available in-battle (Gigantamax Butterfree and Mega Beedrill, respectively).
Origin
Butterfree seems to be based on the black-veined white butterfly.
Butterfree's parallels to Beedrill could possibly be a reference to the phrase "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee", which was coined by American boxer Muhammad Ali. This is further backed by the phrase being used in two episodes of the English dub of the anime as "floating like a Butterfree and stinging like a Beedrill".
Name origin
Butterfree may be a combination of butterfly and free. It may also involve パタパタ patapata (the sound of wings flapping) and 振る furu (to flap).
