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 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 on its face and two spherical feet on each body segment. The combination of red and yellow coloration 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 Pokémon, its daily appetite for leaves matches its weight. Weedle can be found in temperate forests and usually hides in grass, bushes, and under the leaves it eats.

Trivia
Weedle's early design, Kokana
- Weedle has the lowest base stat total of all Poison-type Pokémon.
- Until Pokémon Platinum, Weedle was completely incapable of dealing damage to Steel-type Pokémon—outside of Struggle—because it could only learn Poison Sting, to which Steel types are immune. From Platinum onward, Weedle can learn Bug Bite.
- An early design of Weedle's sprite was shown on Game Freak's official Japanese website.
- Prior to Generation VI, Weedle's body style was
.
- Weedle was 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.[1]
- Weedle is the only Pokémon that cannot legitimately know any Normal-type moves.
Origin
