Beedrill is the first of a handful of great bug pokemon that balance out the mass of sucky bug pokemon.
His design is great, it is everything pokemon should be. Start with a recognizable animal base (bee), tweak it a little bit (more humanoid), and then add something badass onto it (drill hands).
I mean, the guy has freaking drills for hands. Or maybe they're spikes. Whatever. The only thing is his stats, which are - actually, forget that mess. There is no downside to Beedrill.
Plus, shiny Beedrill looks like the mascot for the New Orleans Hornets.
Overall: 10/10
Sadly Bug types were totally Underpowered in the first games. Not because of their stats but because there weren't any good bugtype Attacks. Pin Missile... Wooooohhh, yeah...
