Butterfree Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Butterfree #21 sits in Legendary Collection, the 2002 throwback set that reprinted cards from Base Set, Jungle, Fossil, and Team Rocket and became famous for debuting the fireworks-style Reverse Holo pattern collectors still chase today.
Card History
This card is a Legendary Collection reprint of Butterfree from Jungle, giving one of the earliest fully evolved Bug Pokémon in the TCG a second life in Wizards of the Coast’s nostalgic victory-lap set.
In-Game
Butterfree has always had special early-game nostalgia because in Pokémon Red and Blue it evolves sooner than most species, making it one of the first fully evolved partners many players ever raised.
Artist
The artwork is by Kagemaru Himeno, one of the franchise’s early defining illustrators whose soft, storybook style helped shape the look and feel of vintage Pokémon cards.
Cultural Impact
Butterfree’s Pokédex identity has always leaned into its dangerous beauty, with official flavor describing it as flapping its wings to scatter highly toxic dust, a contrast that gives vintage Butterfree cards extra personality.
