===Physiology===
Butterfree is an insect-like Pokémon appearing as a large butterfly. Butterfree has a large purple body with light blue limbs and a nose with very small fangs. Its eyes are quite large in proportion to its head and are a red color. Butterfree's large wings simply appear as black and white butterfly wings.

The gender difference is the female has purple on the bottom of its wings and the male doesn't have them.
===Natural abilities===
Regular Butterfree have the ability Compoundeyes which raises its accuracy rating by 30%. Outside of battle, Compound eyes will raise the chances of finding a Pokémon with an item if the user is in the lead slot of the party.
Butterfree befriended within the Dream World have the Tinted Lens ability, which doubles the power of "not very effective" moves.
In battle, it flaps its wings at high speed to release highly toxic dust into the air. Its wings are very helpful in spreading the Poisonpowder and Stun Spore.

===Origin===
Butterfree vaguely resembles the Inachis io butterfly. However, its wings are white instead of colored.
Its design also appears to be based on the Black-veined White butterfly.
Its Gigantamax form could be based on the Mothra kaiju.
===Etymology===
"Butterfree" is a portmanteau of the words "butterfly" and "free".
