Rising Rivals

Beedrill 15/111 · Rising Rivals

Beedrill is Pokédex #015, generation 1 (Kanto). Beedrill is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 110 HP. The card lists level 47. The card says it evolves from Kakuna. In this catalog that name is Kakuna (#014).

Beedrill sits at 15/111 in Rising Rivals, position 15 of 120. Before it is 14 Aggron, and after it is 16 Bronzong E4. The set belongs to the Platinum series. It was released on May 16, 2009. The printed size is 111. This checklist is longer, at 120 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Flutter Wings is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for a Grass Pokémon, show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Beedrill is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Needle Shock lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned. Ignore this effect if any of your Pokémon used Needle Shock during your last turn. Weakness is Fire +30. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its best attack involves flying around at high speed, striking with poison needles, then flying off."

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). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Beedrill list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Rising Rivals set binder is where a full Rising Rivals 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.
