Weedle is a larval Pokémon with a segmented body ranging in color from yellow to reddish-brown. Each segment of its body is a sphere. It has a bulbous red nose on its face and two spherical feet on each body segment. The combination of red and yellow coloration creates a bright warning to predators that it is poisonous. Weedle has a conical, two-inch (five centimeter) venomous stinger on its head and a barbed one on its tail. 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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} and usually hides in grass, bushes, and under the leaves it eats.

====Major appearances====
Multiple Weedle debuted in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', where {{Ash}} was very close to {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} one. He used his newly caught {{AP|Pidgeotto}} to battle it, which resulted in Weedle being knocked unconscious. However, when Ash was about to throw his {{i|Poké Ball}}, [[Samurai]] came up and asked Ash if he was a {{pkmn|Trainer}} from [[Pallet Town]]. This distracted Ash from catching Weedle, allowing it to escape. This same Weedle later warned its kind, and together, they tried to avenge its attempted capture by attacking {{ashfr}}.


A Weedle appeared in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. {{an|Casey}} caught it during the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], and later {{pkmn2|released}} it in accordance with the Contest rules.

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

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

Biology

Weedle is a larval insect Pokémon with a segmented body ranging in color from yellow to reddish-brown. Each segment of its body is a sphere. It has a bulbous red nose, two small, black eyes on its face and two spherical feet on each body segment. The combination of red and yellow in its color scheme creates a bright warning to predators that it is poisonous. Weedle has a conical, two-inch (five centimeter) venomous stinger on its head and a barbed one on its tail. 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-type Pokémon, its daily appetite for leaves matches its weight. Weedle can be found in temperate forests and usually hides in grass, bushes, and under the leaves it eats.

Evolution

Weedles evolves into Kakuna, which evolves into Beedrill.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)
