Beedrill 7/108 · Evolutions

Evolutions is a set in the XY series. It was released on November 2, 2016. The printed size is 108. This checklist is longer, at 113 cards. Beedrill is 7/108, in position 7 of 113 on this checklist. Before it is 6 Kakuna, and after it is 8 Tangela. The listed rarity is Rare.

Beedrill is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 120 HP. The card lists level 32. 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).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 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). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. 25 other cards of Beedrill list a different HP.

The attack Poison Sting lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. Swarming Sting is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Grass, Colorless. This attack does 40 damage times the number of Beedrill you have in play to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fire ×2. The flavor text reads "May appear in a swarm. Flies at violent speeds, all the while stabbing with the toxic stinger on its rear."

I keep a set binder for Evolutions, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Evolutions 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.
