Caterpie is | Caterpie is an {{wp|insect}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a green {{wp|caterpillar}} with a yellow underside and teardrop-shaped tail. There are yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its segmented body, which resemble its eyes and are meant to scare off predators. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antenna ({{wp|osmeterium}}) on its head, which releases a stench to repel predators. Despite these features and its camouflage in green foliage, Caterpie is often preyed upon by {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. Its four tiny feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort. | ||
Caterpie will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. It can also spit this silk in order to entangle foes as seen in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. It has a voracious appetite | Caterpie is easy to capture and grows quickly, making it ideal for new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. As Caterpie grows and develops over time, it will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. It can also spit this silk in order to entangle foes as seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. It has a voracious appetite, which drives it to eat a hundred leaves a day. It will even eat leaves bigger than itself. According to [[PS054|Pokémon Adventures]], its favorite food is the {{ci|Vermilion}} flower. Caterpie lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Caterpie is known to sleep occasionally while using {{m|String Shot}}. On occasion, it drools out strings instead of saliva<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>. | ||

[[File:Kitty Caterpie.png|thumb|200px|Caterpie in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]] | |||
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu=== | |||
{{main|Ash's Caterpie}} | |||
{{Ash}}'s Caterpie is the second [[wild Pokémon]] that Ash {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, being caught in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]''. It evolves twice in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''—first into {{p|Metapod}} while Ash is showing it off to {{an|Misty}}, and then into {{p|Butterfree}} during his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Misty. | |||

Caterpie (Japanese: キャタピー Caterpie) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Metapod starting at level 7, which evolves into Butterfree starting at level 10.
Biology
Caterpie is an insect Pokémon that resembles a green caterpillar with a yellow underside and teardrop-shaped tail. There are yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its segmented body, which resemble its eyes and are meant to scare off predators. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antenna (osmeterium) on its head, which releases a stench to repel predators. Despite these features and its camouflage in green foliage, Caterpie is often preyed upon by Flying-type Pokémon. Its four tiny feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort.
Caterpie is easy to capture and grows quickly, making it ideal for new Trainers. As Caterpie grows and develops over time, it will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. It can also spit this silk in order to entangle foes as seen in the Pokémon the Series episode Ash Catches a Pokémon. It has a voracious appetite, which drives it to eat a hundred leaves a day. It will even eat leaves bigger than itself. According to Pokémon Adventures, its favorite food is the Vermilion flower. Caterpie lives in temperate forests and jungles. As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Caterpie is known to sleep occasionally while using String Shot. On occasion, it drools out strings instead of saliva[1].
Evolution
Caterpie evolves into Metapod, which evolves into Butterfree.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia
Caterpie's miscolored mouth in Pokémon Emergency!
- Caterpie was both the first Pokémon to be caught and the first Pokémon to evolve in Pokémon the Series.
- Caterpie shares its category with Wurmple and Snom. They are known as the Worm Pokémon.
- In early episodes of Pokémon the Series, Caterpie's mouth was incorrectly colored yellow. It wasn't until Wings 'N' Things that Caterpie's mouth started to be colored green.
- Until the release of Pokémon Platinum, when it became able to learn Bug Bite, Caterpie was unable to do anything to a Ghost type except struggling and lowering its Speed. It shares this trait with its evolution, Metapod. This is also true for Weedle, and its evolution, Kakuna, against Steel types before Pokémon Platinum was released.
- Due to this, it was impossible to complete a Generation I game using only Caterpie or Metapod, since Struggle couldn't hit Ghost types at the time.
- In Pokémon the Series and the Pokémon Adventures manga, Caterpie holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least amount of time to evolve twice, taking only one episode in the TV series and one chapter in Pokémon Adventures.
- Prior to Generation VI, Caterpie's shape was
. - In Ash Catches a Pokémon, when Caterpie evolves into Metapod, the process was similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. Later episodes[2] show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.
- Caterpie is tied with Weedle, Magikarp, Igglybuff, Carvanha, Attack Forme Deoxys, and Stonjourner for having the lowest base Special Defense stat of all Pokémon.
Origin
Caterpie is based on a caterpillar,[3] perhaps specifically the Asian swallowtail, eastern tiger swallowtail, or spicebush swallowtail due to its green body, yellow eyespots, and red osmeterium. The tip of its tail resembles the horn that many species of hawk moth larvae have on their rear ends.
Name origin
Caterpie may be a corruption, or shortening, of caterpillar.
