How GOOD was Butterfree ACTUALLY? - History of Butterfree in Competitive Pokemon

We missed a HUGE placement regarding Butterfree! Simone Lim, a 7 year old, got 1st place in the Junior's division at the Oceania International Championships! Butterfree was used on her team and in the finals that can be viewed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3PMYpadotaXnKM& www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/internationals/2020/oceania/vgc-junior/ Congratulations to her!

Here's an idea for Mega Butterfree. It would probably not be overpowered, but probably would be unfun to play against.

Atk, +50 Speed Ability: Allergy Season - When Mega Butterfree Mega evolves, it automatically uses a powder move that it knows, in addition to the move it selected for that turn. (In essence, Sleep Powder and Quiver Dance on same turn.)

Now it's worth noting that one of the major reasons Butterfree is weak is because of Sleep Clause, a rule in most competitive formats that limits you to only being able to sleep a single one of your opponent's pokemon. If Sleep Clause didn't exist, Butterfree would be much better, it could boost its speed with quiver dance and force any pokemon that wanted to try to stop it to spend time recovering from sleep.

Beedrill: I am garbage without my Mega. Butterfree wouldn't be any better- Butterfree: *UNFORTUNATELY* When your counterpart got a video almost twice as long as your own, even without a Mega Evolution.

just wait for Beautifly or Dustox...

1. Beedrill's video is made a years or 2 ago, which is the time where Kellen kinda ignore lower tier. 2. Butterfree get Compound Eye, status move since gen 3 and Quiver Dance and Tinted Lens since gen 5 to help its role as a suppoter and attacker while Beedrill get nothing to help its role as an attacker until Gen 6. 3. Dynamax is banned to Uber and then to AG and is very good in double.

I'm honestly a bit surprised that FSG forgot that butterfree won the smash bros invitational but it also wasn't an official event so it's understandable

[@pheonixpidgey5294]

This boutta be interesting

[@EnderCreeper168]

Tbf, Butterfree was a top tier sweeper in the team that I built for the Kanto Cup competition a couple years back. It was surprisingly good in a gen 6 Kanto only format

It has everything but the stats, great ability and great moveset.

I'm currently on a leaf green nuzlocke, i have a Butterfree and its sleep powder was integral to taking out Gary's Pidgeotto in cerulean city when my nuz-team was EXTREMELY weak to Flying and Fire. (i took bulbasaur, and purchased the mt.moon Pokecenter magikarp... so far the run is still going.)

[@maho9958]

[@spazerdazer8421]

It's all I wanted. RIP ;_;

[@Rarest26]

The fact that this video is four seconds longer than the Rayquaza one is hilarious, and I don't know why.
