Venonat (Japanese: コンパン Kongpang) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Venomoth starting at level 31.

Biology

Venonat is an insect Pokémon with a spherical body covered in purple fur. The fur releases a toxic liquid and it spreads when shaken violently off their bodies. A pink pincer-like mouth with two teeth, stubby forepaws, and a pair of two-toed feet are visible through its fur. Its limbs are light tan. There is also a pair of white antennae sprouting from the top of its head. However, the most prominent feature on its face are its large, red compound eyes. Venonat's highly developed eyes act as radar units and can shoot powerful beams.

Venonat can be found in dense temperate forests, where it will sleep in the hole of a tree until nightfall. It sleeps throughout the day because the small insects it feeds on appear only at night. Both Venonat and its prey are attracted to bright lights.


Evolution

Venonat evolves into Venomoth.

Trivia

Origin

Venonat seems to be based on a flea due to its piercing mouthparts, round body, and tendency to hop around on its large hind legs. It may also be based on venomous caterpillars such as the puss caterpillar since it is covered in long toxic hairs and evolves into a moth. Its large compound eyes function like radar and resemble parabolic antennas.

Name origin

Venonat may be combination of venom and gnat (a small insect).

Kongpang may be derived from compound eye (visual organ found in insects) or 昆虫 konchū (insect).
