Read more ↓Weedle is a small, caterpillar-like Bug/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, the very first generation of the Pokémon franchise. It is well-known as one of the earliest Pokémon encountered in the Kanto region, often found in Viridian Forest. Weedle evolves into Kakuna at level 7, and then into Beedrill at level 10. Its Pokédex entries consistently describe it as having a sharp, venomous stinger on its head, which it uses to defend itself. Weedle’s diet primarily consists of eating leaves, and it is frequently found in forested areas. In the Pokémon anime, Weedle often appears as a common forest inhabitant, sometimes seen in large swarms, though it doesn't typically play a major role in the main characters' adventures beyond early episodes. Its simple design and early appearance make it a recognizable figure for fans who started with the original games and anime, representing the initial stages of a Pokémon journey. Despite its unassuming nature, Weedle holds a nostalgic place for many, symbolizing the beginning of the Pokémon world's vast ecosystem.
