Metapod (Japanese: トランセル Trancell) is a Bug-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Caterpie starting at level 7 and evolves into Butterfree starting at level 10.
Biology
Metapod resembles a chrysalis. Its soft body is protected by a hard outer shell while it undergoes metamorphosis. While this shell is said to be as hard as steel, a sudden, powerful impact could cause its tender body to pop out, leaving it completely exposed. Metapod generally remains motionless, preparing its soft innards for evolution inside its hard shell. If an enemy discovers Metapod, it is unable to do anything other than harden its outer shell. Metapod lives in forests.
In the anime
Major appearances
Ash's Metapod
Ash had a Metapod that he caught as a Caterpie and evolved in Ash Catches a Pokémon. It eventually evolved into Butterfree in Challenge of the Samurai.
Other
Samurai, in Challenge of the Samurai, battled Ash's Metapod with his own Metapod, but because both Metapod only knew Harden, the battle went on for hours until a swarm of Beedrill forced the battle to end.
In Gettin' The Bugs Out, Bugsy used a Metapod against Ash for the Gym Battle. Unlike most Metapod, this one was actually able to fight back by using Tackle. Multiple other Metapod were also seen in the Azalea Gym in the same episode.
In Caterpie's Big Dilemma, Xander's Caterpie became giant-sized after eating some enhanced Rare Candies. Xander's Caterpie knocked down part of a radio tower in order to make a place for it to evolve into Metapod. It later evolved again to become a Butterfree.
Multiple Metapod appeared in Butterfree and Me!, including one that Ash worked with to help it eventually evolve into Butterfree.
Minor appearances
Multiple Metapod also appeared in Celebi: Voice of the Forest.
A Metapod appeared in The Breeding Center Secret.
A Metapod had a small cameo in Tracey Gets Bugged as one of the Bug Pokémon on Murcott Island.
A Metapod appeared in Illusion Confusion! as an illusion created by Haunter and Gengar.
A Metapod was used by one of the students of the Pokémon Trainer's School in Gonna Rule The School!.

Trivia
- Metapod shares its category name with Kakuna, Silcoon, and Cascoon. They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.
- They also share the same base stat total, learnset, Ability, and EV yield.
- This ties them as the evolved Pokémon with the lowest base stat total.
- They also share the same base stat total, learnset, Ability, and EV yield.
- Metapod is the first Pokémon to evolve in a movie, and part of the first evolution cycle in an episode.
- Until the release of Pokémon Platinum, when its pre-evolution became able to learn Bug Bite, Metapod was unable to damage Ghost-type Pokémon except by using Struggle. It shared this trait with Caterpie.
- Due to this, it was impossible to complete a Generation I game using only Caterpie or Metapod since Struggle could not hit Ghost types at the time.
- Metapod is usually depicted with white sclerae, such as in the games, trading cards, and promotional illustrations, but it has yellow sclerae in the anime.
- In the anime episode Challenge of the Samurai, the process of Metapod's evolution was similar to a real life butterfly emerging from its cocoon. In later episodes, however, Metapod is shown to evolve like any other Pokémon.
- Ume Aoki, a Japanese cartoonist famous for her work on the manga Hidamari Sketch, utilizes a likeness of herself cosplaying as a Metapod to represent herself in her works.
Origin
It to be based upon an amalgamation of butterfly chrysalises, resembling the general shape of a Black Swallowtail chrysalis (or possibly a Large White) with a large nose-like protrusion and side portrusions resembling a Polydamas Swallowtail or Pipevine Swallowtail chrysalis.
Name origin
Metapod is a combination of metamorphosis and pod (referring to its chrysalis state).
Trancell appears to be a combination of transform and cell or shell.
