'''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== | ==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. The abdominal stinger contains Beedrill's most potent poison. | |||
Beedrill resembles a wasp, | |||
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 (a behavior more similar to that of {{wp|wasp}}s than of bees). As seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Beedrill seems to be especially concerned with the welfare of {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Kakuna}}, responding 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. It will then 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. It is known to collect pollen, which {{p|Teddiursa}} combines with fruits to concoct [[honey]]. Beedrill [[PS012|have been seen]] living in hives and producing honey. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Twineedle}} was its [[signature move]]. | |||
Beedrill | ===Forms=== | ||
Beedrill can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Beedrill. | |||
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 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, with 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 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> | |||

Beedrill's parallels to {{p|Butterfree}} could possibly be a reference to the phrase "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee", which was coined by American boxer {{wp|Muhammad Ali}}.

Beedrill (Japanese: スピアー Spear) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Kakuna starting at level 10. It is the final form of Weedle.
Beedrill can Mega Evolve into Mega Beedrill using the Beedrillite.
Biology
Beedrill is an insect Pokémon which mostly resembles a bipedal, yellow wasp; however, it only has four legs instead of six and lacks 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. The abdominal stinger contains Beedrill's most potent poison.
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 (a behavior more similar to that of wasps than of bees). As seen in the Pokémon the Series episode Challenge of the Samurai, Beedrill seems to be especially concerned with the welfare of Weedle and Kakuna, responding 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. It will then take the victims of its attacks back to its nest for food. Beedrill nests in temperate forests and misty wooded areas. It is known to collect pollen, which Teddiursa combines with fruits to concoct honey. Beedrill have been seen living in hives and producing honey. Prior to Generation V, Twineedle was its signature move.
Forms
Beedrill can Mega Evolve into Mega Beedrill.
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 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, with 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 used to finish opponents. The instantaneous poisons are instead used to prevent the foe from fleeing.[1]

Trivia
- Beedrill's English name was originally going to be spelled Beedril.
- Beedrill can be seen as a parallel to 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.
- Mega Beedrill has the highest base Attack and Speed stats of all Poison-type Pokémon. It also has the lowest base Special Attack stat of all Poison-type Pokémon.
- Beedrill and its pre-evolved form, Kakuna, are the only yellow Poison-type Pokémon.
Concept and development
Beedrill and its pre-evolutions were designed by Atsuko Nishida.[2]
Mega Beedrill was designed by Hitoshi Ariga.[3]
Origin
Beedrill seems to be based on a bee or wasp, possibly the Japanese honey bee, Asian giant hornet, or yellowjacket. Its pointed arms resemble spears, while Mega Beedrill swaps them for lances. Its Shiny color scheme is similar to metallic green sweat bees.
Beedrill's parallels to Butterfree could possibly be a reference to the phrase "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee", which was coined by American boxer Muhammad Ali. This is further backed by the phrase being used in two episodes of the English dub of the anime as "floating like a Butterfree and stinging like a Beedrill".
Name origin
Beedrill may be a combination of bee and drill.
Spear is literally spear. It may also be derived from アピス Apis (the genus name of the honey bee) spelled backwards.
