CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Butterfree travels through meadows in search of nectar and carries it to its nest on the hairs of its legs. Its wings also help repel threats: by beating them rapidly, it scatters toxic powder. This protection even allows it to fly in rain. The Pokédex credits it with still more attentive behaviour: when a bird attacks a Caterpie, Butterfree may intervene by covering the attacker in its scales.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Butterfree’s large eyes are not simple surfaces. Close observation reveals that they consist of a multitude of small eyes, explains Pokémon Sun. This anatomical detail belongs to an insect that must spot flowers, rivals and dangers during flight.
