Release information
This card was reprinted in the Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection reprint sets, which were only released outside of Japan.
"Edition d" Butterfree
In the 1st Edition release of Jungle, a number of Butterfree cards were printed with a symbol that appeared to look like "Edition d" instead of "Edition 1" due to the presence of an ink bubble during printing. The error was corrected for later 1st Edition print runs, but the "Edition d" Butterfree remains a sought after error card.
Trivia
Origin
Whirlwind and Mega Drain are both moves in the Pokémon games that Butterfree can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded.
