Read more ↓Beedrill is a formidable Bug/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I as one of the original 151 Pokémon. It is the final evolution of Weedle, evolving from Kakuna, and is renowned for its aggressive nature and potent stinger attacks. Beedrill typically inhabits forests and woodlands, often found in large swarms protecting its territory and hive. Its diet primarily consists of nectar and honey, which it collects diligently. In the Pokémon anime, Beedrill has been portrayed as both a wild menace and a loyal partner, most notably as a recurring threat in early episodes and as a Pokémon owned by characters like Casey. Its distinct appearance, with large, sharp stingers on its forearms and tail, makes it instantly recognizable. Beedrill holds cultural significance as an early-game Bug-type, often challenging trainers in Viridian Forest, and its Mega Evolution later added to its competitive viability in the games. Its type combination gives it weaknesses to Fire, Flying, Psychic, and Rock types, while resisting Fighting, Poison, Bug, and Grass moves.
