==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Weedle is a larval {{wp|insect}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 {{type|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 hide in grass, bushes, and under the leaves they eat.

In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', {{Ash}} was very close to catching a Weedle.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Weedle is the only Pokémon incapable of learning {{type2|Normal}} moves, if {{m|Hidden Power}}'s inability to be a Normal move in practice is not considered in {{p|Unown}}'s case.
* Weedle has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* Despite being classified as the Hairy Bug Pokémon, no artwork of it depicts it having any visible hair.
** Weedle is tied with {{p|Gastly}} for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all Poison-type Pokémon.
* Up until {{v2|Platinum}}, Weedle was completely incapable of dealing damage to {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon outside of {{m|Struggle}}. This was because Weedle could only learn {{m|Poison Sting}}, which Steel-types are immune to. In Platinum onwards, Weedle can learn {{m|Bug Bite}}. However, Steel-types still resist moves of {{t|Bug|its type}}.
** Weedle is also tied with {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Carvanha}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Attack Forme}} {{p|Deoxys}}, and {{p|Stonjourner}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Pokémon.
* Weedle, along with {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Wurmple}}, evolves at level 7, the lowest set level in the games (though some Pokémon can evolve via level up as early as level 2, depending on certain conditions).
* Until {{game|Platinum}}, Weedle was completely incapable of dealing damage to {{type|Steel}} Pokémon—outside of {{m|Struggle}}—because it could only learn {{m|Poison Sting}}, to which Steel types are immune. From Platinum onward, Weedle can learn {{m|Bug Bite}}.
* Despite most of its [[Generation III]] Pokédex entries mentioning its acute sense of smell, Weedle cannot learn {{m|Odor Sleuth}}.
* Prior to Generation VI, Weedle's shape was [[File:Body02.png|32px]].
* As of [[Generation V]], Weedle is the only brown {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.
* Weedle is the only Pokémon that cannot legitimately know any {{type|Normal}} moves.
 
===Cultural impact===
* Weedle was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''Stentorceps weedlei'', a species of wasps. Both Weedle and ''Stentorceps weedlei'' exhibit the distinctive feature of having a spine in the middle of the organism's head.<ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[http://www.waspweb.org/Cynipoidea/Figitidae/Eucoilinae/Stentorceps/Stentorceps_weedlei.htm ''Stentorceps weedlei'' Nielsen & Buffington]</ref>
 
===Concept and development===
[[File:Kokana.png|thumb|100px|Weedle's early design, Kokana]]
Weedle and its 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>
 
An {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Kokana|early design}} of Weedle's sprite was shown on Game Freak's official Japanese website.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Weedle appears to be based on the {{wp|larva}} of a bee. This is rather fitting, considering that it's fully evolved form is based on a bee
Weedle appears to be based on a {{wp|wasp}} or {{wp|bee}} {{wp|larva}} and needles or stings. As suggested by its Japanese Pokémon {{pkmn|category}}, it may also be based on {{wp|Caterpillar#Human health|stinging caterpillars}}.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Weedle's name appears to be a misspelling of ''{{wp|weevil}}'', but this is not likely, considering the difference between the two. Its name is more likely a combination of ''{{wp|worm}}'' and ''needle'', which refers to the stingers on its body. ''Beedle'' is similar, but refers to {{wp|bee}}s instead.
Weedle may be a combination of ''{{wp|worm}}'' and ''needle''.
 
Beedle may be a combination of ''bee'' and ''needle''.

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 hide in grass, bushes, and under the leaves they eat.

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.)
