Read more ↓Weedle is a Bug/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, making its debut in the Kanto region. It is the first stage in a two-stage evolution line, evolving into Kakuna at level 7, which then evolves into Beedrill at level 10. Weedle is a small, caterpillar-like Pokémon characterized by its distinctive conical horn on its head and a sharp, venomous stinger on its tail. Its natural habitat is primarily forests and woodlands, where it can often be found munching on leaves, which form its main diet. In the Pokémon anime, Weedle is often depicted as a common forest dweller, sometimes appearing in swarms. While not a powerhouse in terms of battle prowess, its evolutionary line, particularly Beedrill, plays a role in early-game challenges and is a memorable part of many trainers' first journeys. Its simple design and early availability contribute to its iconic status as one of the original 151 Pokémon, embodying the diverse insect life of the Kanto region.
