History

Original series

Ash caught Beedrill in the Bug-Catching Contest in The Bug Stops Here. In capturing it, he won the contest, and, according to the rules, the winner is allowed to keep the Pokémon that was caught. However, Ash chose to give Beedrill to Casey afterwards because of her love for yellow and black-striped Pokémon. It has since become one of her three main Pokémon, along with Meganium and Elekid.

Pokémon Chronicles

In Those Darn Electabuzz!, Beedrill was seen sleeping with Meganium and Elekid, and got angry when Don, a Charizard, was on a rampage. It also cheered the Electabuzz baseball team theme song with Casey and her other Pokémon.

Personality and characteristics

Due to appearing only very shortly before being caught, Beedrill's original nature remains uncertain, although it was shown possessing aggressive characteristics typical to its species while attacking Ash. After joining Casey's team, it seems to have adopted Casey's confident and cheerful attitude, eagerly joining Casey, Meganium, and Elekid in performing the Electabuzz theme song.
