Beautifly 2/109 · Ruby & Sapphire

Beautifly is Pokédex #267, generation 3 (Hoenn). Beautifly is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Silcoon. In this catalog that name is Silcoon (#266).

Beautifly sits at 2/109 in Ruby & Sapphire, position 2 of 109. Before it is 1 Aggron, and after it is 3 Blaziken. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on July 1, 2003. The printed size is 109, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Withering Dust is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Beautifly is in play, do not apply Resistance for all Active Pokémon. The attack Stun Spore lists 20 damage. The cost is Grass. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Parallel Gain is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Remove 1 damage counter from each of your Pokémon, including Beautifly. Weakness is Fire ×2.

Beautifly (#267) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2026. The earliest other card is Beautifly 6/17 in POP Series 1 (2004). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Beautifly list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hajime Kusajima. I count 206 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Ruby & Sapphire set binder is where a full Ruby & Sapphire set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Beautifly can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
