Beedrill [Shadowless] Card Facts & History
4 facts about this card
Set Lore
Beedrill #17 sits in the original Base Set, the very first main Pokémon TCG expansion, giving this Shadowless copy a direct link to the launch era of the hobby.
Card History
Shadowless Beedrill is especially memorable to error-card collectors because Base Set lists card 17/102 with the famous "D.efending" typo.
In-Game
Its attacks, Twineedle and Poison Sting, are pulled straight from Beedrill's move pool in the video games, making the card feel like an early translation of Game Boy battle mechanics into cardboard form.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the artist behind the original official artwork for all 151 Generation I Pokémon, which gives Base Set Beedrill a pure first-generation visual identity.
