Weedle (Japanese: ビードル Biidoru) is a Bug/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

Weedle is a small, insect-like Pokémon appearing as a brown caterpillar with large stingers on both its tail 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.

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.

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 are brightly colored so as to warn off any potential predators.

Evolution

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