# Butterfree (巴大蝶) (Chinese) #003 — CS4aC (九彩汇聚 朋)

## Summary

Butterfree hovers against a bright green field in the Simplified Chinese edition, wings spread wide with a holographic shimmer behind it and pale blossoms drifting at the edges. Released in mainland China in March 2024, this CS4aC Butterfree sits in the plain rare slot, so it makes an easy pickup. Butterfree itself has been a Kanto favourite since the Caterpie line's earliest days.
