Beedrill 18/75 · Neo Discovery

Neo Discovery is a set in the Neo series. It was released on June 1, 2001. The printed size is 75, and the checklist is the same length. Beedrill is 18/75, in position 18 of 75 on this checklist. Before it is 17 Yanma, and after it is 19 Butterfree. The listed rarity is Rare.

Beedrill is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 36. In the Pokédex this is Beedrill (#015), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Kakuna. In this catalog that name is Kakuna (#014).

Aya Kusube illustrated this card. The same name is on 127 other cards in the catalog.

Beedrill (#015) has 29 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 24 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. Both list the rarity Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Aya Kusube illustrated this one. 22 other cards of Beedrill list a different HP.

The attack Triple Poison lists 10 damage. The cost is Grass. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Your opponent now puts 3 damage counters on it instead of 1 after each player's turn (even if it was already Poisoned). Pin Missile is another attack lists 20× damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Colorless. Flip 4 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. The flavor text reads "It can take down any opponent with its powerful poison stingers. It sometimes attacks in swarms."

I keep a set binder for Neo Discovery, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Discovery set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Beedrill can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
