Butterfree is the special sweeping Bug who also counters other Psychics very well. She resists Psychics and can hit them with a modest STAB String Shot, and can use her powerful Confusion on Poisons and any unresisting pokemon. This gives her perfect offensive coverage. She now gets Recover and a nice speed boost which totally set her free.
The Sleep and lead game kind of sucks in RBY, so we've changed that letting Butterfree be the fastest Sleeper, tied with Gengar (but Butterfree has a more accurate move). To balance this, Butterfree is still fragile and falls to many of the faster Pokemon. Butterfree also works as an anti-Psychic, resisting them and attacking back for good damage.

Butterfree is exciting - not only is she the fastest sleeper in the game, but her different movesets will make her interesting to play with. Access to Recover is great, but using it is not guaranteed with six weaknesses and only 198 Defense. Being a Psychic type that counters other Psychics with STAB Bug moves is a unique selling point, and she can annoy her opponents with Confuse Ray, Flash and of course Sleep Powder.
