Strategy & play
How Beautifly plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is search / tutoring. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Grass Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥60 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Silcoon first).
How to beat Beautifly
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥60 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

About this card
"Despite its looks, it is aggressive. It jabs with its long, thin mouth if disturbed while collecting pollen."

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Beautifly is real?
Beautifly is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
