Butterfree Base Stats

Butterfree is National Pokédex number 12 in this local canonical-species snapshot. Its base-stat total is 395. The six values are HP 60, Attack 45, Defense 50, Special Attack 90, Special Defense 80, and Speed 70. That distribution makes Special Attack the strongest raw axis at 90, while Attack is the lowest at 45. The radar draws those calculated level stats as geometry; it is a shape comparison, not an official rating.

The stored typing is Bug and Flying. Under the modern chart, ordinary type-only weaknesses include Fire, Electric, Ice, Flying, Rock, while resisted or immune attacking types include Grass, Fighting, Ground, Bug. Abilities, temporary type changes, special moves, and generation-specific chart differences can change an actual battle. The type calculator shows the complete multiplier for a chosen single or dual defense.

Defeating this species is recorded as yielding 2 Sp. Atk EV and 1 Sp. Def EV. Its Medium growth group determines cumulative experience thresholds; it does not follow directly from the 395 base-stat total. The stored GO base values are Attack 167, Defense 137, and Stamina 155. Those are separate from the main-series six-stat values and feed the GO CP formula with a level-specific combat power multiplier.

Worked example

At level 50, with IV 31, 0 EVs entered independently for this comparison, and a neutral nature, the preview gives HP 135, Attack 65, Defense 70, Special Attack 110, Special Defense 100, Speed 90. Real spreads cannot place 252 EVs in all six stats because the overall limit is 510; the uniform EV field is a sensitivity control for comparing axes, not a legal-spread validator. Use the EV planner to allocate a legal total.

Reading this species page

Base stats belong to the species; IVs and EVs belong to an individual build. A high base axis still needs the appropriate move category and battle context. Alternate forms may have different numbers and are excluded unless separately named. Copy the URL to preserve the level, IV, and EV preview, then open a related calculator for nature, damage, coverage, or GO appraisal work.
