Beedrill · Legendary Collection, what to know.
About the Beedrill card
Beedrill is card 20 of 110 in Legendary Collection, released in May 2002, a Rare. It is a Stage 2 Grass-type with 80 HP.
As a Stage 2, it evolves from Kakuna, which places Beedrill deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.
Illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Sugimori is the lead character designer of Pokémon itself, so his card art carries the tight, on-model look that defined how the creatures appear in the games.
The Pokédex entry printed on Beedrill reads: "Flies at high speed and attacks using the large, venomous stingers on its forelegs and tail."
About Beedrill in the Pokémon world
The Bug-Poison final form of the Weedle line. Three drill-tipped stingers and a wasp silhouette. Notoriously strong in early tournament play before defensive Pokémon caught up. Base Set Beedrill is a rare non-holo. Jungle reprinted it. Both have steady collector demand, with the Base Set print being meaningfully scarcer in high grade.
What is Beedrill worth?
Beedrill is a non-holo Rare. In Legendary Collection, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Beedrill trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Beedrill before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Beedrill grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Beedrill is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Beedrill
For Beedrill, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Beedrill can make sense.
