Read more ↓Venipede is a Bug/Poison type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, native to the Unova region. Known as the Centipede Pokémon, Venipede typically inhabits forests and dark, damp places, using its many legs to move swiftly through undergrowth. Its diet primarily consists of decaying organic matter and smaller insects, which it subdues with its venomous stingers located on its head and tail. Venipede evolves into Whirlipede at level 22, and then into Scolipede at level 30, forming a formidable evolutionary line known for its speed and poisonous attacks. In the anime, Venipede often appears in wild habitats, sometimes causing trouble for trainers due to its aggressive nature. Its dual typing gives it unique matchups, being weak to Fire, Flying, Psychic, and Rock types, but resistant to Fighting, Poison, Bug, Grass, and Fairy types. Venipede's design, inspired by centipedes, emphasizes its predatory instincts and the danger of its venom, making it a memorable early-game Bug-type Pokémon for many trainers. Its presence in the games and anime highlights the diversity of insect-like Pokémon and their roles within the ecosystem.
