Butterfree (Japanese: バタフリー Batafurii) is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

Butterfree is an insect-like Pokémon appearing as a large butterfly. Butterfree has a large purple body with light blue limbs and a nose with very small fangs. Its eyes are quite large in proportion to its head and are a red color. Butterfree's large wings simply appear as black and white butterfly wings. The gender difference is the female has purple on the bottom of its wings and the male doesn't

Special abilities

Regular Butterfree have the ability Compoundeyes which raises its accuracy rating by 30%. Outside of battle, Compoundeyes will raise the chances of finding a Pokémon with an item if the user is in the lead slot of the party.

Butterfree befriended within the Dream World have the Tinted Lens ability, which doubles the power of "not very effective" moves.

In battle, it flaps its wings at high speed to release highly toxic dust into the air. Its wings are very helpful in spreading the Poisonpowder and Stun Spore.

Evolution

Butterfree evolves from Metapod at level 10 and is the final evolution of Caterpie.

Ash's Butterfree

Butterfree first appeared in the episode Challenge of the Saumrai where Ash Ketchum's Metapod evolved into a Butterfree near the episode's end. Ash used this Butterfree on a number of different occasions, but eventually released it in the episode Bye Bye Butterfree. In the same episode there is a pink Butterfree but it was irregularly coloured not shiny. Other notable Trainers to include Butterfree in their team include Ritchie and Drew.

Trivia

  • Despite Butterfree being a Bug-type, Butterfree could not learn any Bug-type moves until Generation III.
  • Butterfree and Beautifly are both known as the Butterfly Pokémon.
  • Despite the color of Butterfree's body mainly being purple, it is classified as a White in the Pokédex, being its wing color.
  • Interestingly, the Butterfree that Ash's Butterfree left with is not the regular shiny coloration. (Bye Bye Butterfree)

Origins

Butterfree vaguely resembles the Inachis io butterfly. However, its wings are white instead of colored.

"Butterfree" is a portmanteau of the words "butterfly" and "free".
