About Caterpie
When attacked by bird Pokémon, it resists by releasing a terrifically strong odor from its antennae, but it often becomes their prey.

Artwork Description
The artwork on this card depicts Caterpie nestled among vibrant green leaves, partially hidden by a large, bright orange flower, with a clear blue sky in the background, emphasizing its small, gentle, and natural habitat.
Playability Overview
Caterpie’s low HP and reliance on a coin flip for damage make it largely impractical for competitive play but useful for basic Grass-type setup or collections.
