Beautifly (Japanese: アゲハント Agehunt) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Silcoon starting at level 10. It is one of Wurmple's final forms, the other being Dustox.

Biology

Beautifly is a butterfly-like Pokémon with two pairs of wings. It has large blue eyes and black antennae with rounded tips. Its face, underside, and four stubby limbs are gray, while the rest of its body is black. The main body of its wings is balck with large, yellow markings, and smaller red and blue markings. The upper pair of wings is larger and has a line of yellow along the top edge, while each of the lower wings have a long, round-tipped extension on the bottom. The female's wings have smaller red spots than the male. Beautifly has long and curled black proboscis that it uses to drain body fluids from its prey. Additionally, this aggressive Pokémon will jab at foes with its proboscis if it is disturbed while collecting pollen. Beautifly lives in forests.
