Butterfree has always been stupidly good with Compoundeyes. Tons of Nuzlockers use Butterfree in Gen 3 onward simply because it's the best pseudo-Psychic type out there, with that super yummy 98% accuracy Sleep Powder letting you just wail on the foe. I use it all the time thanks to it just trashing things that would normally bother it. Granted, it's not taking out the Dragonites on its own, but geez, Butterfree is a lot better than just "Compoundeyes Sleep and switch out"
I remember being seriously bummed that I couldn't get a Butterfree until post-game in B2/W2, because it would have been insta-teamed. Easily Mid-Tier, maybe even low-high.
