Summary

Butterfree is a low-cost Pokémon that can perform exceptionally well as your last draft pick, either at a 2 or 1 point cost. Its ability, Compound Eyes, gives it the opportunity to use Stun Spore and Sleep Powder with nearly 100% accuracy, making it an incredible status spreader. Stun Spore can paralyze Ground-type Pokémon, making it the a rare move that can do so. Apart from that, Butterfree doesn't offer much more--Thief as a item-removal option and Whirlwind for phasing are other moves you can include in supportive sets. Nightmare is a viable option to force a switch on the affected Pokémon or to engage in a 1v1 battle if it's down to just your and your opponent's last Pokémon, having a great synergy with its accurate Sleep Powder. Unfortunately, the stats for this Pokémon are underwhelming, making it a frail target and a relatively slow status spreader with a base speed of 70. Its Flying type gives it immunity to Spikes, but also gives it a 4x weakness to one of the format's most common types in Rock.

About

This page interfaces with a database that I maintain and collect data for from a specific format of Pokemon competition I enjoy called "ADV Draft". I have a few posts about it on this site -- one talking about how I initially went about data storage and some of the stats I use, and another about "graduating" from Google Sheets to a standard relational database and actually setting this part of my website up, and a third about adding more advanced analytics to the site.

I manually update this database as tournaments finish as I don't feel like paying money to host the database separately. The most recent finished tournament I have in the database is Volta's Vraft Voltournament III (V3.3), which ended on 2025-07-20. I don't have stats for tournaments in progress here. I also don't have (or want) stats for team tournaments.

If you have a tournament you think I should add to my database or a summary for a Pokemon, give me a shout at the contact info on my home page -- I'll be happy to talk to you! This also applies to custom data requests -- send me an email with the subject "ADV DB Custom Data Request" (or similar) and I'll see what I can do for you!

All sprites are pulled from Smogon and all replays are pulled from Pokemon Showdown. This site uses Stuart Langridge's sorttable script.

Note: Mr. Mime and Farfetch'd are stored as "MrMime" and "Farfetchd", respectively.
