Wurmple (Japanese: ケムッソ Kemusso) is a Bug-type 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.

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.

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.
