Beedrill H4/144 · Skyridge

Beedrill is Pokédex #015, generation 1 (Kanto). Beedrill is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Kakuna. In this catalog that name is Kakuna (#014).

Beedrill sits at H4/144 in Skyridge, position 154 of 182. Before it is H3 Articuno, and after it is H5 Crobat. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on May 12, 2003. The printed size is 144. This checklist is longer, at 182 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Venom Spray is listed as Poké-Power. When you play Beedrill from your hand to evolve your Active Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned. The attack Needle Rush lists 10+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip 4 coins. If you get 1 heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage. If you get 2 heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 20 more damage.

Beedrill (#015) has 29 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 25 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Beedrill 17/102 in Base (1999). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hikaru Koike illustrated this one. 22 other cards of Beedrill list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hikaru Koike. I count 46 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Skyridge set binder is where a full Skyridge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Beedrill can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
