Release information

Trivia

A number of 1st Edition prints of this card were printed with a symbol that appeared to look like "Edition d" instead of "Edition 1" due to the presence of an ink bubble during printing. The error was corrected for later 1st Edition print runs, but the "Edition d" Butterfree, as it has become commonly known, remains a sought after error card.

Origin

Whirlwind and Mega Drain are both moves in the Pokémon games that Butterfree can learn. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded. The Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
