What it does
Switch out your opponent's Active Pokémon to the Bench. (Your opponent chooses the new Active Pokémon.)
Choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. Shuffle that Pokémon and all attached cards into their deck, and then shuffle this Pokémon and all attached cards into your deck. If your opponent has no Benched Pokémon, this attack does nothing.
It collects honey every day. It rubs honey onto the hairs on its legs to carry it back to its nest.

Where it came from
The Butterfree card (012/165) was released in 2023 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet—151 expansion. This set is notable for focusing exclusively on the original 151 Pokémon from the Kanto region, intentionally appealing to the nostalgia of long-time fans who grew up during the franchise's late-1990s debut.
The card features artwork by illustrator GIDORA, who portrays the Pokémon in a soft, natural setting consistent with the series' emphasis on creature habitats. As an uncommon card, it serves as a staple of the set's thematic structure, designed to provide players and collectors with accessible representations of iconic species while maintaining the cohesive aesthetic standard of the modern Scarlet & Violet era.
