Pokémon: Butterfree Series: E-Series Set: Expedtion Card Number: 38/165 Rarity: R Condition:  Raw Grade: N/A Year: 2002 Illustrator: Sumiyoshi Kizuki Complete your vintage Pokémon TCG collection with the Butterfree (38/165) Reverse Holo from the E-Series Expedition Base Set, a highly coveted Rare card illustrated by Sumiyoshi Kizuki. Released in September 2002, this Grass-type Stage 2 Pokémon features 80 HP and showcases the Butterfly Pokémon against the set's distinctive crystal-themed reverse holographic pattern.  As a key component of the first English e-Reader compatible series, this raw single is a premier target for master set collectors and enthusiasts of the Wizards of the Coast print run for its intricate foil patterns and nostalgic value. Strategically versatile, Butterfree offers unique utility with its Miraculous Powder Poké-Power, allowing players to remove all Special Conditions from their Active Pokémon once per turn, provided Butterfree itself is not affected. Its primary attack, Spiral Drain, deals 40 damage for three Energy ([GCC]) and includes a coin flip to heal 2 damage counters from Butterfree on heads, providing sustainability in prolonged battles. While its Fire Weakness and zero Retreat Cost define its defensive profile, its ability to cleanse status effects makes it a valuable tech choice for themed Grass decks and a fascinating piece of competitive history. Secure this raw, ungraded 38/165 copy to capitalize on its significant market value, with high-grade specimens commanding substantial premiums due to the scarcity of well-centered Expedition reverse holos. Whether you are investing in E-Series assets, completing a Butterfree evolution binder, or seeking a specific e-Reader compatible card, this English version represents a tangible piece of Pokémon history with enduring collector appeal.
