Attacks

Nerve Poison20
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned.
Hyper Needle70
Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Either way, you can't use this attack again as long as Koga's Beedrill stays in play (even putting Koga's Beedrill on the Bench won't let you use it again).

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts a fierce Beedrill poised mid-flight, its sharp stingers gleaming against a cosmic, star-filled background, ready to strike with intense focus and agility in the mysterious expanse of space.

Playability Overview

Koga's Beedrill offers valuable status effects with Nerve Poison but is hindered by the risky and limited-use Hyper Needle attack.

Binder Inspiration

Main Binder Theme: Cosmic ForestThis card stands out with its mix of natural forest colors and deep space background. It’s best placed in a nature-themed page that has a little twist—think forest Pokémon with a hint of mystery or magic. Cards with darker or starry backgrounds make great neighbors.Additional Binder Suggestions: Forest / Mysterious / Deep Green / Night Sky / Poison Squad
