Ash's Butterfree was the first Pokémon Ash ever caught. He was released during the mating season when he fell in love with a pink Butterfree.

Biography[]

Butterfree was caught as a Caterpie and evolved to a Metapod in the episode A Catches a Pokémon!. Metapod then evolved when defending Ash from a flock of Beedrill. He caught it only by throwing out a Poké Ball. He once traded his Butterfree for a Raticate, but he missed his Butterfree so much, so he traded back. It seems to be a male Butterfree and was released to start a family with its mate, a pink Butterfree. Before winning the heart of its mate, Butterfree saved a bunch of wild Butterfree from Team Rocket (this caused the pink Butterfree to start having feelings for him.) Butterfree's current location is unknown. It can be presumed that it is still with its mate.
