#12 Butterfly Pokémon

HT: ??? WT: ???

Its wings are said to have highly toxic spores on them. Despite this, it's one of the most hunted Pokémon in existence, to the point that it's been declared an endangered species in some regions outside of Sanclairia.

#12-M Butterfly Pokémon

HT: 2.1m WT: 42kg

Sick and tired of being easy prey for a Beedrill, this Butterfree evolved to take its colonies back. This may explain why their numbers are higher in Sanclairia compared to the rest of the world.
