07Why Collectors Want It

  • A Delta Species (δ) print — the EX-era's alternate-typing experiment, where Beedrill took on a non-Bug typing for the duration of the δ run.
  • Sits at slot 1, the headline opener for the EX Delta Species set, making this a prized δ-line pickup.
  • Reverse-holo raw ~$26 vs. PSA 10 ~$1,434 — a ~55× grading multiple, one of the loudest lifts on the entire Bug-line board.
  • A grail-tier pickup for Delta Species completionists and one of the most underrated Beedrill chase prints.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Beedrill with 90 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Final Sting

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may Knock Out Beedrill. If you do, choose 1 of your opponent's Defending Pokémon. That Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned. Put 2 damage counters instead of 1 on that Pokémon between turns. This power can't be used if Beedrill is affected by a Special Condition.

Super Slash Cost: Grass + Metal + Colorless · 50+ damage

If the Defending Pokémon is an Evolved Pokémon, this attack does 50 damage plus 30 more damage.

Weakness
Fire ×2
Retreat cost
0

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.
