Venonat (Japanese: コンパン Kongpang) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Venomoth starting at level 31.

Biology

Venonat using its "Radar Eye" to find Team Rocket's truck

Venonat is an instectoid Pokémon with a spherical body covered in purple fur. The fur release a toxic liquid and it spreads when shaken violently off their bodies. A pink pincer-like mouth with two teeth, stubby forepaws, and a pair of two-toed feet are visible through its fur. Its limbs are light tan. There is also a pair of white antennae sprouting from the top of its head. However, the most prominent feature on its face are its large, red compound eyes. Venonat's highly developed eyes act as radar units and can shoot powerful beams.

Venonat can be found in dense temperate forests, where it will sleep in the hole of a tree until nightfall. It sleeps throughout the day because the small insects it feeds on appear only at night. Both Venonat and its prey are attracted to bright lights.

Trivia

Origin

In spite of Venonat's name, it is not similar to a gnat in size, physiology, or behavior, other than on its compound eyes. It is likely primarily based on a mite, which also sucks blood, is round, and has a pincer-like mouth. Based on its Ruby and Silver Pokédex entries and the fact that it evolves into a moth, Venonat may also draw inspiration from venomous caterpillars, such as those belonging to the Megalopyge genus.

Name origin

Venonat is likely a combination of venom and gnat (a small insect).

Kongpang is possibly a combination of こんちゅう konchū (insect) and pang (the sound that a radar makes, referring to its radar-like eyes). It could also be a shortening of コンパウンド　アイ compound eye, both referring to its eyes and its Ability.

In other languages

Language Title Meaning Japanese コンパン Kongpang Possibly from こんちゅう konchū and pang French Mimitoss From mimi, mite, and toss, possibly from Mythos Spanish Venonat Same as English name German Bluzuk From Blut and a form of zutschen Italian Venonat Same as English name Korean 콘팡 Konpan Transliteration of Japanese name Mandarin Chinese 毛球 Máoqiú Literally "Fur ball" Cantonese Chinese 毛毛蟲 Mòuhmòuhchùhng Literally "Furry bug". Also the Chinese name for "caterpillar"
