'''Beedrill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スピアー''' ''Spear'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kakuna}} starting at [[level]] 10. It is the final form of {{p|Weedle}}.

Beedrill can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Beedrill''' using the [[Beedrillite]].

==Biology==
Beedrill is an {{wp|insect}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which mostly resembles a bipedal, yellow wasp; however, it only has four legs instead of six and lacks {{wp|Simple eye in invertebrates|pigment pits}}. Beedrill's head is round with a slightly pointed mouth, large, red eyes, and black antennae with a sharp bend in the middle. Its forelegs are tipped with long, conical stingers. It stands on its other two legs, which are long, segmented, and insectoid in shape. Beedrill has two pairs of rounded, veined wings, and another stinger on its yellow-and-black striped abdomen.

Beedrill is highly territorial and unlike real bees, Beedrill live in colonies rather than true "hives", and they work together to solve basic problems regarding food, territory and reproduction (behavior more similar to the behavior of {{wp|wasp}}s than to of the bees). As seen in [[EP004|the anime]], Beedrill seems to be especially concerned with the welfare of {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Kakuna}} and it will respond aggressively to those that disturb them. Disturbing one Beedrill will cause the whole colony to attack. It flies at high speed and attacks using the large venomous stingers on its forelegs and abdomen. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Twineedle}} was its [[signature move]]. It will take the victims of its attacks back to its nest for food. Beedrill nests in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} and misty wooded areas.

As Mega Beedrill, it gains more defined features. The antennae are shorter and T-shaped. Its eyes become longer and sleeker. It now has three pairs of wings; the uppermost pair is larger with a black trim along the top. Its stingers become longer and larger, resembling lances. Additional conical, black-and-yellow stingers with white tips take the place of its legs. Its abdomen becomes larger, grooved and is attached to its thorax by a black structure. A similar black structure connects its head and thorax. The stinger on its abdomen is now a pale yellow, and it now has black stripes over its entire body. Fast-acting poison is stored in the stingers on its limbs, while the tail stinger produces a slow-acting poison that is used to finish opponents. The instantaneous poisons are instead used to prevent the foe from fleeing.<ref name= "Mega">[https://web.archive.org/web/20141016185128/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com:80/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-beedrill Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Beedrill (archived)]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Beedrill's English name was [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Pokémon names|originally]] going to be spelled ''Beedril''.
* Beedrill can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Butterfree}}. Both of their unevolved stages evolve into their respective first evolutionary stages at level 7, which then evolve into their respective final forms at level 10. They both also go through metamorphosis-like evolution and share a base stat total of 395. Also, while Beedrill is a version exclusive of Black and Black 2, Butterfree is exclusive to White and White 2. Both also have an alternate form only available in-battle (Mega Beedrill and Gigantamax Butterfree, respectively).
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Beedrill is the only Pokémon that is featured without its evolutionary relatives.
* Beedrill and its pre-evolutions were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website]</ref>
** [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Beedrill was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/548085137955508224 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 25, 2014.</ref>
* Mega Beedrill has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}}  stats of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. It also has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Poison-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Beedrill seems to be based on a {{wp|bee}} or {{wp|wasp}}, possibly the {{wp|Apis cerana japonica|Japanese honey bee}}, {{wp|Asian giant hornet}}, or {{wp|yellowjacket}}. Its pointed arms resemble {{wp|spears}}, while Mega Beedrill swaps them for {{wp|lance}}s. Its [[Shiny]] color scheme is similar to metallic green {{wp|Agapostemon|sweat bees}}.

====Name origin====
Beedrill may be a combination of ''{{wp|bee}}'' and ''{{wp|drill}}''.

Spear is literally ''spear''. It may also be derived from アピス ''Apis'' (the genus name of the honey bee) spelled backwards.
