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.

Major appearances[]
Multiple Weedle debuted in Challenge of the Samurai, where Ash was very close to catching one. He used his newly caught Pidgeotto to battle it, which resulted in Weedle being knocked unconscious. However, when Ash was about to throw his Poké Ball, Samurai came up and asked Ash if he was a 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 his friends.
In The Bug Stops Here, Casey caught a Weedle during the Bug-Catching Contest, and later released it in accordance with the Contest rules.
