Venipede (Japanese: フシデ Fushide) is a Bug/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Whirlipede starting at level 22, which evolves into Scolipede starting at level 30.

Biology

Venipede is an insectoid Pokémon with a pronounced hump on the upper portion of its body. Its thorax and head are mainly magenta with black markings that consist of rings on its shoulders, a band around each antenna, and an upside-down 'Y' on its neck. A prominent ridge leading down to a pointed tip splits the top half of its head, and its lower jaw is black. It has round, heavy-lidded eyes that bulge away from the head slightly. Venipede's dark green abdomen is segmented, and it has four pairs of stubby black legs. Two short feelers banded with black extend from its hindquarters, which it uses in addition to its antennae to explore its surroundings and detect prey by sensing air vibrations. Venipede is brutally aggressive, and its bite injects a poison strong enough to paralyze large bird Pokémon. Its fangs are known to be highly venomous. It often gets into fight with similar species relative Sizzlipede. Venipede tends to prey on any Pokémon it think it can eat without thinking its actions throughly.

Major appearances

Multiple Venipede debuted in A Venipede Stampede!, where they swarmed Castelia City and attacked it. Professor Juniper found out that they were disturbed from their nest by a mysterious force in Desert Resort and ended up in Castelia City. The Mayor of Castelia City was dealing with them the wrong way, so Burgh stepped in. With the help of Ash, his friends, Nurse Joy, and Trip, they were able to round all of the Venipede up. One reappeared in a flashback in Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!.

Trivia

• Venipede is tied with Gastly for the lowest HP of all Poison-type Pokémon.
• Despite the Scolipede line and Centiskorch line living in different parts of the Galar region, both Venipede's and Scoliopede's Pokédexes speak of their hostile relationship.

Origin

Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

On the Origin of Species: Venipede, Whirlipede and Scolipede

Venipede, like its category states, is based on a centipede. However, it is more similar in appearance to an arthropod such as a woodlouse, pill bug, or pill millipede. More specifically, it is most likely based on a green Glomeris marginata.

Name origin

Venipede is a combination of venom and centipede or millipede.

Fushide may be a combination of 節 fushi (joint/segment) and ムカデ mukade (centipede).
