Provenance

Where it came from

Butterfree 4/214 was released in the Unbroken Bonds expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in early 2019. This set was designed to emphasize teamwork and synergy, featuring the introduction of TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX cards, though this specific Butterfree served as a standard rare card. The set drew inspiration from the Sun & Moon era, focusing on the tactical depth of the game's evolving mechanics.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for a vibrant, painterly style that often highlights the personality of the Pokémon. In this illustration, Butterfree is depicted in its natural environment, utilizing a soft color palette to capture the creature’s delicate appearance. Upon its release, the card was received as a standard inclusion for grass-type decks, valued by players for its role in set completion rather than competitive dominance.
