07Why Collectors Want It

  • Released in 2009's Supreme Victors, the DP-era Platinum-block set that introduced the Frontier Brain (FB) character-themed prints across the dex.
  • The 'FB' prefix marks this as a Frontier Brain-themed Butterfree — lore-anchored to a Pokémon Battle Frontier trainer rather than a plain checklist slot.
  • Raw asking sits below $10; the headline Supreme Victors grails are the LV.X cards and FB-prefixed character chases, not the base prints.
  • A natural pickup for collectors building the DP Platinum-block character-themed roster or completing the Butterfree-line run.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Butterfree with 90 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Compound Eyes

If your opponent's Active Pokémon has any Poké-Bodies, each of Butterfree FB's attacks does 30 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

Select Powder Cost: Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 30 damage

Choose either Burned or Poisoned. The Defending Pokémon is now affected by that Special Condition.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
