Read more ↓Venonat is a Bug/Poison type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, known for its large, red, compound eyes that act like radar, allowing it to see in the dark and detect even the smallest movements. This nocturnal Pokémon primarily inhabits forests and grassy areas, particularly those with tall trees, where it feeds on small insects. Its body is covered in a fuzzy, purple fur, and it possesses two small antennae that aid in navigation and sensing its surroundings. Venonat evolves into Venomoth, a more powerful Bug/Poison type, at level 31. In the Pokémon games, Venonat often appears early on, providing players with a useful Bug/Poison type for early gym challenges. In the anime, it's sometimes depicted as a shy creature, often found clinging to tree branches. Its unique visual design, with its large eyes and fuzzy appearance, has made it a memorable Pokémon for many fans, representing the diversity of insect-inspired creatures in the Pokémon world. Its ability to be attracted to light at night is a key behavioral trait.
