Butterfree

BUGFLYINGCOMMON

Butterfree shows up in the level 30 hunt and averages 42 of loot and 548 XP per kill.

Is Butterfree worth hunting?

Among the 24 Pokémon in the level 30 hunt, Butterfree ranks 23th for loot per kill, 5% below the level's median.

Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.

57% of all loot comes from a single item: Cocoon Stone. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.

The rare drop worth waiting for is Cocoon Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.48% chance — on average one every 209 kills.

For XP it ranks 1 of 24 at this level — 548 per kill.

Drop chance, count and NPC price for every item. Expected value already accounts for the chance and the average count.
