Modified - 20 damage for
1 energy is strong, but 40 HP is weak. Caterpie's in danger
of a quick KO from a Magmar. With a lucky flip, you can
evolve to Metapod then Butterfree all in 1 turn. 1/5
Limited - 20 damage is good, 40 HP is not. Use only if you
get Metapod, and especially Butterfree. 2/5 |

(04/07/08) - Caterpie
Name: Caterpie Lv. 6
Set: Great Encounters
Rarity: Common
Analysis: Caterpie and Metapod's Poke-Powers enable it
you to get a Turn 1 Butterfree, even if you go first.
This will give you a quick 120 HP, and an attack that
will do 30 damage and heal. Next turn, if you add a
Double Rainbow Energy, you can do 50 damage and are
guaranteed a special condition. This is pretty good,
unfortunately there is only a 25% chance of this
happening. Nonetheless, I like this strategy, plus Rare
Candy can help when you are unlucky. 120 HP and free
retreat are nothing to take lightly, together they are
great (talking about Butterfree). Plus, if you aren't
able to evolve it, Caterpie does 20 damage for 1 energy,
which is good. Watch out for Magmortar...
Modified: Good strategy of getting up Butterfree
quickly, but be careful against Magmortar. (3.5/5)
Limited: If you get the evolutions, this works out
great. 20 damage is also not something to be taken
lightly. (4.5/5)

What
do you want from a basic? First and foremost you want a
good evo, but lets look away from that now. A good basic
helps you setup your deck in addition to evolving. Call
for family, signs of evolution and the likes is great
abilities for basics. This pokepower is quite good it
ups your odds of getting fast stage 2 dramatically but
is still kind of flippy. For an offensive attack 20 for
1 is pretty much the best you can do. Its below average
HP is what keeps this from a high ranking. You would
really like your basics to have a bit higher HP so it
wont get killed in turn 2.
