A Weedle in the anime.

In Challenge of the Samurai, Ash was very close to catching a Weedle. He used his newly caught Pidgeotto to battle, Weedle was knocked unconcious and when Ash was about to throw his Poké ball, Samurai came up and asked Ash if he was a trainer from Pallet Town. This distracted Ash from catching the Weedle, so it got away.

Weedle appeared a few other times while Ash was in the Viridian Forest, such as when a number of them ate Team Rocket's cardboard tank.

Casey captured a Weedle during the Bug-Catching Contest in The Bug Stops Here. She released it in accordance with Contest rules.

Trivia

Origin

Weedle resembles a Wiggler.

Name origin

Weedle's name appears to be a misspelling of weevil, but this is not likely, considering the difference between the two. Its name is more likely a combination of worm and needle, which refers to the stingers on its body. Beedle is similar, but refers to bees instead.

In other languages

  • German: Hornliu - Refers to the stringer on Weedle's head.
  • French: Aspicot - An asticot is a sort of caterpillar, picot means dot (referring to the circles on its body) and pic means point.
  • Korean: 뿔충이 Ppulchungi
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 獨角蟲 Dú Jîau Chóng - "Single-horned bug".
  • Chinese (Hong Kong): 獨角蟲 Dú Jîa Chóng - "Single-horned bug".
