Beedrill V

Description

The 210 HP Beedrill V is a standout Basic Pokémon from the Astral Radiance expansion, released in 2022. Designed by Narumi Sato, this Ultra Rare card (ASR 161) brings a formidable Grass-type presence to the TCG table with its high health pool and versatile attack options. The card features a holographic finish that enhances its visual appeal within the growing Astral Radiance collection. Beedrill V stands out due to its dual-attack structure, allowing players to adapt their strategy mid-game. The first option, Grass Twineedle, lets you flip two coins to deal 40 damage for each heads result, offering potential burst damage. The second attack, Swarming Sting, deals 50 damage to an opponent’s Pokémon for every Beedrill V you have in play, excluding Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. This design encourages building around multiple copies of the card to maximize damage output. As a Basic Pokémon, Beedrill V can be played directly from the hand, providing early-game stability. With a retreat cost of only one Grass energy, it remains mobile and easier to reposition than many of its counterparts. The Regulation Mark F confirms its place in the standard format, making it a relevant piece for collectors and players alike. Beedrill V #161 is a key Ultra Rare pull for those building out their set collections. Whether you are completing the Astral Radiance sequence or looking for a powerful Grass-type in your deck, this card offers both aesthetic and mechanical value. The combination of high HP, flexible attacks, and low retreat cost makes it a versatile asset in any Grass-focused strategy.
