[edit] Appearance
Beedrill are an insect-like Pokémon with the appearance of a large wasp. Unlike a wasp however, Beedrill only have four limbs, the front-most limbs having two large, spear-like stingers. A third stinger is located on its tail end. The shiny version of a Beedrill is overall a lightgreen colour with blue eyes instead of red.
[edit] Special Abilities
All Beedrill have the ability Swarm which increases any Bug-type attacks x1.5 if the user's HP drops below 1/3 its max amount.
According to the Pokédex, Beedrill can fly at great speeds and can attack in swarms. Additionally, it's three stingers all secrete a toxic poison, with the stinger on its tail being the most venomous.
[edit] Anime
Beedrill debuted in the episode Challenge of the Samurai, where a number of Beedrill evolved from Kakuna and took Ash's Metapod.
A sort of running gag happens throughout the course of the series, where someone or multiple characters are chased by a swarm of Beedrill for disturbing their nest.
Ash owned a Beedrill for one episode in The Bug Stops Here. He caught this Pokémon during a Bug Catching Contest. It was then given to Casey, since she is a fan of yellow-black striped Pokémon. Casey is seen using this Beedrill in the episode Those Darn Electabuzz.
[edit] Games
Beedrill are a Generation I Pokémon, first appearing in the original Pokémon games. Beedrill are not often found in the wild and can usually only be obtained through evolving Kakuna or Trade. Kakuna evolve into Beedrill starting at level 10.
