Butterfree has a [[Gigantamax]] form.


==Biology==
==Biology==
Butterfree resembles a vaguely anthropomorphic butterfly with a purple body. Unlike true insects, it only has two body segments and four light blue legs. The upper pair of legs resemble small, three-fingered hands, while the lower pair resemble long, digit-less feet. Butterfree has two black antennae, a light blue snout with two fangs underneath, and large, red compound eyes. Its two pairs of veined wings are white with black accents. The oval scales of a female Butterfree's lower wings are black, but white in males.
Butterfree is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which resembles a vaguely anthropomorphic butterfly with a purple body. Unlike true insects, it only has two body segments and four light blue legs. The upper pair of legs resemble small, three-fingered hands, while the lower pair resembles long, digit-less feet. Butterfree has two black antennae, a light blue snout with two fangs underneath, and large, red compound eyes. The red compound eyes at a closer look are reveled to be myriad of tiny eyes. Its two pairs of wings are white with black {{wp|Insect wing#Venation|venation}}. Two oval scales on a female Butterfree's lower wings are black, but they are white on a male.
 
The wings of Butterfree are coated with poisonous scales that easily fall off continuously as it flies. If inhaled, it results in several status conditions. It will defend {{p|Caterpie}} from bird Pokémon using this powder. This powder also repels water, enabling it to gather honey even in the rain. Butterfree can use its sensitive antenna to detect the odors of blooming flowers six miles (ten kilometers) from its nest in search of nectar, which it carries with the hairs of its legs. Sometimes, it has territorial disputes with {{p|Cutiefly}} over fields of flowers. It also consumes sap from trees pierced by {{p|Heracross}}, as seen in [[EP119|the anime]]. Butterfree is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}, but it has also [[EP021|been observed]] flying near the ocean as part of its migratory breeding pattern.
 
As Gigantamax Butterfree, its size increases to gigantic length with an altered look. The wings and its pattern changes to light and dark green color with white. The antennae change to bright green and extend to the point where the tip bends, and three red clouds surround it. The eyes change to a bright glowing red. A fur-like circle is attached to both the wings and back of Butterfree.  Several green scales can be seen floating around Butterfree, which are its most effective weapons, capable of releasing paralysis, poisoning, or sleep. The scales were created from crystallized [[Gigantamax]] energy.
 
The massive wings are powerful enough to lift a ten-ton truck through a simple flap. The wind it generates can scatter poisonous scales throughout the area, making it dangerous to be near it.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-butterfree/ Gigantamax Butterfree]</ref>


Butterfree's wings are covered with poisonous powders that fall off continuously as it flies. This powder repels water, enabling it to gather honey even in the rain. Butterfree will roam up to {{tt|six miles|ten kilometers}} from its nest in search of honey, which it carries with the hairs of its legs. It also consumes sap from trees pierced by {{p|Heracross}}, as seen in [[EP119|the anime]]. Butterfree is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, but has also [[EP021|been observed]] flying near the ocean as part of its migratory breeding pattern.
In {{g|Sword and Shield}} before DLC, Butterfree was the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Rage Powder}}. Gigantamax Butterfree is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Befuddle}}.
