Weedle (Japanese: ビードル Beedle) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon.

It evolves into Kakuna starting at level 7, which evolves into Beedrill starting at level 10.

Biology

Weedle is a small larva Pokémon with a segmented body ranging in color from yellow to reddish-brown. Combined with its red nose and feet, Weedle's bright coloration wards off its enemies. Weedle has a conical, two-inch (five centimeter) venomous stinger on its head and a barbed one on its tail, but its other body parts are spherical.

Weedle can retaliate against attackers and those who step on it with its strong toxin. It can distinguish its favorite kinds of leaves using its acute sense of smell. As a young Bug Pokémon, its daily appetite for leaves matches its weight. Weedle can be found in forests and usually hides in grass, bushes, and under the leaves it eats.

Trivia

Weedle's early design, Kokana

Weedle has the lowest base stat total of all Poison-type Pokémon.
- In addition, Weedle is tied with Caterpie for having the lowest Special Defense stat of all Bug-type Pokémon as well as the lowest Special Defense stat of all Poison-type Pokémon and is tied with five other Pokémon for having the lowest Special Defense stat of all Pokémon.
Weedle is the only Pokémon that cannot learn any Normal-type moves.
- Unown's sole move—Hidden Power—cannot deal Normal-type damage, but it is technically a Normal-type move.
Until Platinum, Weedle was completely incapable of dealing damage to Steel-type Pokémon—outside of Struggle—because it could only learn Poison Sting, to which Steel types are immune. From Platinum onward, Weedle can learn Bug Bite.
An early design of Weedle's sprite was shown on Game Freak's official Japanese website.
Prior to Generation VI, Weedle's body style was .
Weedle was the inspiration for the naming of Stentorceps weedlei, a species of wasps. Both Weedle and Stentorceps weedlei exhibit the distinctive feature of having a spine in the middle of the organism's head. ^[1]

Origin

Weedle appears to be based on the larva of a wasp or hornet. Weedle's red nose and legs resemble spots that appear on the larvae of some species of wasp or hornet.

Name origin

Weedle is likely a combination of worm and needle, referring to the stingers on its body. It may also be a corruption of weevil, another sort of bug.

Beedle is a combination of bee and needle.

 * Weedle has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
+** In addition, Weedle is tied with {{p|Caterpie}} for having the lowest Special Defense stat of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon as well as the lowest Special Defense stat of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon and is tied with five other Pokémon for having the lowest Special Defense stat of all Pokémon.
 * Weedle is the only Pokémon that cannot learn any {{type|Normal}} moves.
 ** {{p|Unown}}'s sole move—{{m|Hidden Power}}—cannot deal Normal-type damage, but it is ''technically'' a Normal-type move.
 * Until {{v2|Platinum}}, Weedle was completely incapable of dealing damage to {{type|Steel}} Pokémon—outside of {{m|Struggle}}—because it could only learn {{m|Poison Sting}}, to which Steel types are immune. From Platinum onward, Weedle can learn {{m|Bug Bite}}.
