Weedle

Description

Designed by Hajime Kusajima, the card is categorized as Common within the set and serves as a foundational piece for collectors focusing on the Kanto region Pokémon introduced in the Game Boy Advance titles. The card’s Pokédex number is 13, anchoring it firmly in the early generations of the franchise. Weedle offers distinct strategic value through its two attacks. Colorless Call for Family allows players to search their deck for up to two Grass Basic Pokémon and place them onto the Bench, requiring a shuffle afterward. This effect provides crucial setup for decks built around grass-type strategies. Alternatively, Grass Poison Spurt enables the player to discard a Grass Energy card attached to Weedle, poisoning the Defending Pokémon. This mechanic adds a layer of tactical depth, allowing for resource management while applying status conditions to opponents. Collectors of the FireRed & LeafGreen set often seek out this card to complete their full base set. As a Common card, it represents the accessible entry point into the series, reflecting the widespread popularity of the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the mid-2000s. The card’s straightforward design and functional abilities make it a staple for those interested in the history of competitive play or simply assembling a comprehensive collection of early 2000s Pokémon merchandise.
