Twineedle (Japanese: ダブルニードル Double Needle) is a damage-dealing Bug-type multi-hit move introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation V, it was Beedrill's signature move.
Effect
Generation I
Twineedle inflicts damage, and has a 20% chance of poisoning the target. Twineedle hits twice per use. Although technically only the first hit can critical hit, each hit per use will do the same amount of damage.
Twineedle will end immediately if it breaks a Substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge one hit of this move.
Generation II
Same as Generation I, except now it can poison Steel- and Poison-type Pokémon. Also, all hits will do damage independently, consequently enabling any of them to be critical.
Generation III
Same as Generation II, but it cannot poison Steel- and Poison-type Pokémon.
Generation IV
Same as Generation III, except it will continue attacking after a Substitute is broken.
Generation V
Unlike previous generations, if Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activate before the last hit is dealt, the following hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. Each hit will also cause Weak Armor to activate.

Trivia
- Twineedle is the only non-Poison-type move that can poison under normal conditions.
- Twineedle is the only move that can poison a Steel-type Pokémon, as it is a Bug-type move instead of a Poison-type move. However, this only works in Generation II.
- Shellder's evolutionary line are the only non Bug-type Pokémon able to learn Twineedle.
