Wurmple (Japanese: ケムッソ Kemusso) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

Wurmple will evolve into either Silcoon or Cascoon starting at level 7 depending on its personality value. As personality values cannot be influenced by the player, what a given Wurmple will evolve into is essentially random. From there, the Silcoon or Cascoon will evolve again starting at level 10 into Beautifly or Dustox respectively.

Biology

Physiology

Wurmple's body is colored red at the top and a cream color on the belly. It has a sharp stinger on its head and has two on its rear. It also has small spikes running down its body.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Behavior

Habitat

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the various Pokédex entries on Wurmple, it is described as eating leaves or pulling the bark off of trees to feed on the sap. This makes them easy to attract with Honey.

In the anime

Both May and Jessie each captured a Wurmple in All in a Day's Wurmple. May's Wurmple evolved into Silcoon in A Corphish Out of Water while Jessie's evolved into a Cascoon in the same episode.

One was again shown in A Trainer and Child Reunion! as a Pokémon that was released by Aaron when he was younger. It came back years later as a Beautifly.

Pokédex entries

NPC appearances

  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2: Wurmple is one of the members of Team Tasty, alongside Swellow. A running joke is that Wurmple is terrified that Swellow is going to eat him, and that's why he named their team that.

Generation III
Ruby Using the spikes on its rear end, Wurmple peels the bark off trees and feeds on the sap that oozes out. This Pokémon's feet are tipped with suction pads that allow it to cling to glass without slipping.
Sapphire Wurmple is targeted by Swellow as prey. This Pokémon will try to resist by pointing the spikes on its rear at the attacking predator. It will weaken the foe by leaking poison from the spikes.
Emerald It sticks to tree branches and eats leaves. The thread it spits from its mouth, which becomes gooey when it touches air, slows the movement of its foes.
FireRed It lives amidst tall grass and in forests. When attacked, it resists by pointing its venomous spikes at the foe.
LeafGreen It lives amidst tall grass and in forests. When attacked, it resists by pointing its venomous spikes at the foe.
Generation IV
Diamond It loves to eat leaves. If it is attacked by a Starly, it will defend itself with its spiked rear.
Pearl It spits a white silk that turns sticky when it contacts air. It is used to immobilize foes.

Trivia

  • Wurmple shares the same species name with Caterpie. They are both known as the Worm Pokémon.
  • All four different species names belonging to Wurmple's evolutionary family are shared with a Generation I Pokémon.
  • Wurmple is the only Pokémon whose branched evolutions evolve further. All other Pokémon with a branch in their evolutionary line either evolve once before the branch or do not have any other evolutionary event besides the one which is branched.
  • Along with Clamperl and Burmy, it is one of the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutionary paths are all Pokémon of the same generation as it is.
  • Wurmple, along with Caterpie and Weedle, evolves at level 7, the lowest set level in the games (though Pokémon that evolve by level up with another method can evolve as low as level 2).

Origin

Wurmple is based on a caterpillar. It also appears to resemble an earwig somewhat.

Name origin

Wurmple's name is a combination of worm and rumple, referring to the wrinkled texture of its skin. Its Japanese name is derived from 毛虫 kemushi, caterpillar.
