Butterfree Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Butterfree #5 is a Rare Holo from Expedition Base Set, the first mainline Pokémon TCG e-Card expansion, which makes it part of the landmark border-and-dot-code era that changed how cards looked and interacted with the Nintendo e-Reader.
Artist
This card’s storybook-style artwork by Sumiyoshi Kizuki stands out in Expedition because Kizuki’s soft, handcrafted look gives Butterfree a gentler, almost illustrated-book personality that feels very different from standard battle-focused card art.
Card History
Butterfree is forever tied to one of the anime’s most emotional early moments, since Ash’s Butterfree was released in 'Bye Bye Butterfree,' an episode still remembered by fans as a defining farewell in the original series.
In-Game
For many players, Butterfree was one of the first fully evolved Pokémon they ever trained in Red and Blue, so an early-era holo like this taps directly into that first-playthrough nostalgia.
Card History
Its Miraculous Powder Poké-Power gives Butterfree a protective support role by clearing Special Conditions from your Active Pokémon, which fits Butterfree’s graceful, status-themed identity better than a pure damage card would.
