Butterfree [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Butterfree #5 is one of Expedition Base Set’s opening holo rares, and that matters because Expedition was the first main set of the e-Card era, debuting the oversized dot-code borders made for the Nintendo e-Reader.
Card History
This Butterfree captures the experimental feel of early e-Reader design, pairing the Poké-Power Miraculous Powder with Spiral Drain at a time when Expedition had just split the old Pokémon Power mechanic into Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies.
Artist
Collectors chase Sumiyoshi Kizuki cards for their soft, storybook-like style, and this Butterfree comes from one of the most recognizable illustrators of vintage Pokémon TCG art.
Card History
Butterfree is tied to one of the anime’s most emotional memories because Ash released his Butterfree in “Bye-Bye Butterfree,” an early Indigo League episode that helped make the species unforgettable for longtime fans.
In-Game
Butterfree has always had special nostalgia value in the games because it was one of the earliest fully evolved Pokémon players could raise in Pokémon Red and Blue, making an Expedition-era holo like this feel especially true to the franchise’s beginnings.
