Butterfree [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This 1st Edition Jungle Butterfree is famous for an early print error where the stamp can look like “Edition d” instead of “Edition 1,” giving this otherwise humble uncommon a legendary WotC-era variant to chase.
Set Lore
Butterfree sits in Jungle, the second main Pokémon TCG expansion, and the English set was expanded to 64 cards by adding non-holo versions of holo rares, a defining twist of early Wizards-era collecting.
In-Game
Both attacks on this card, Whirlwind and Mega Drain, are drawn directly from moves Butterfree can learn in the video games, making it feel especially faithful to Butterfree’s original Red and Blue identity.
Card History
For many collectors, any Butterfree card instantly recalls Ash’s emotional farewell in the anime episode “Bye Bye Butterfree,” one of the franchise’s most remembered early tearjerkers.
Artist
Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card, and her soft, storybook-like style became one of the signature visual textures of the earliest Pokémon TCG era.
