Weedle concept art

Concept artwork of Weedle, showcasing some of its expressions.

Weedle is a small, insect-like Pokémon appearing as a brown caterpillar with large stingers on both its rear and head. Across Weedle's underside are small, pink nubs which it uses to move. On its head, Weedle has two beady, black eyes above a large, pink nose.

Behavior

The stingers and brightly colored bodies of these Pokémon are intended to ward off potential predators who would not enjoy a mouthful of toxins. Weedle also have a sharp sense of smell, using their nose-like proboscises to sense which leaves are safe to consume. Some Weedle even develop preferences for certain leaves. They are voracious eaters, consuming their weight in leaves daily.

Natural abilities

Weedle has the ability Shield Dust, which will block any side effect caused by an opposing attack.

Weedle's sense of smell is excellent. With its large red nose, it can sniff out the leaves it likes best. Eating leaves helps it prepare for evolution.

Weedle has a large stinger on its head. This stinger, according to the Pokédex, measures around two inches and is very toxic. Furthermore, the Pokédex states that Weedle is brightly colored, so as to ward off any and all potential predators.

Evolution

Weedle evolves into Kakuna once it reaches level 7, which can then further evolve at level 10 into Beedrill.
