Caterpie is a serpentine Pokémon that resembles the larvae of the {{wp|Spicebush Swallowtail}}. It is a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its body. It also has large yellow eyes with black pupils. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antenna ({{wp|osmeterium}}) on its head, which releases a stench to repel predators. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort. | Caterpie is a serpentine Pokémon that resembles the larvae of the {{wp|Spicebush Swallowtail}}.

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 that causes it to eat leaves larger than itself. It primarily feeds on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to [[Pokémon Adventures]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower. Caterpie lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}. | Caterpie will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk.

Caterpie made its main appearance in the {{chap|Yellow}}. With the help of her fishing rod and {{adv|Red}}'s Pika, {{adv|Yellow}} saved a Caterpie from its tree, which was targeted by a fire attack. Caterpie then followed Yellow to where she and {{adv|Blue}} were training, next to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. It took Yellow a whole day to properly catch this Caterpie with a Poké Ball, but once she prevailed, Yellow welcomed Caterpie to her team and called it "Kitty".

However, in the battle against [[Lance]], Yellow did not have a [[Pokédex]], which she needed to stop her Pokémon from evolving, and so Kitty evolved into {{p|Metapod}} and then into {{p|Butterfree}} right afterwards. | Caterpie made its main appearance in the {{chap|Yellow}} in ''[[PS049|As Gastly as Before]]''.

Caterpie (Japanese: キャタピー Caterpie) is a Bug-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Metapod starting at level 7, which evolves into Butterfree starting at level 10.
Biology
Caterpie is a serpentine Pokémon that resembles the larvae of the Spicebush Swallowtail. It is a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its body. It also has large yellow eyes with black pupils. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antenna (osmeterium) on its head, which releases a stench to repel predators. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. Its 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 Ash Catches a Pokémon. It has a voracious appetite that causes it to eat leaves larger than itself. It primarily feeds on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to Pokémon Adventures, its favorite food is the Vermilion flower. Caterpie lives in forests.

Trivia
- Caterpie was both the first Pokémon to be captured and the first Pokémon to evolve in the anime.
- Caterpie shares its category name with Wurmple. They are both known as the Worm Pokémon.
- Until the release of Pokémon Platinum, when it became able to learn Bug Bite, Caterpie was unable to do anything to a Ghost type outside of struggling except lower 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 the anime and in Pokémon Adventures, Caterpie holds the record as the Pokémon who takes the least time to evolve twice, taking only one episode in the anime and one chapter in Pokémon Adventures.
- Prior to Generation VI, Caterpie's body style was .
- In Ash Catches a Pokemon, when Caterpie evolves into Metapod, the process was similar to a real caterpillar going into pupation. Later episodes show Caterpie evolving like the rest of the Pokémon do.
