Metapod is the cocoon form of Caterpie which can evolve from Caterpie at Level 7. Its body within the shell is weak and soft, although its shell is sturdy. Metapod most constantly harden its shell to protect itself, but it can pop out of its shell with large impacts. The shell is as hard as an iron slab, but Metapod's primary action is hardening. Its general lack of movement is because Metapod focuses its energy on preparing its soft innards for evolution from within its shell.
 
 
 
Metapod's metamorphosis does not last long, as it evolves into Butterfree at Level 10.

*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Metapod appears as a Novice-rank Support [[Spirit]], with the effect of increasing a player fighter's defense when badly damaged. When fought against in a Spirit battle, Metapod's Spirit would possess [[Yoshi]] in a timed battle with a sticky floor, and the Yoshi's defense would increase after a while.
 
 
 
==In Other Media==
 
 
 
*Metapod appears in two episodes of the ''Pokémon'' anime, when [[Red#Other Media|Ash]]'s Caterpie, his first caught Pokémon, evolves into one. After Ash saves it from a swarm of [[Beedrill]] and promises to take better care of it, it evolves into a Butterfree. Another Metapod was shown belonging to a character named Samurai, which entered an inconclusive battle with Ash's own Metapod. Other Metapod have also made appearances throughout the anime. During the Johto series, Metapod was featured as part of [[Bugsy]]'s team and was notably formidable due to knowing moves aside from Harden, but it eventually fell to Ash's [[Pikachu]]. One episode of the Battle Frontier series featured a Caterpie that became giant from too many Rare Candies, and it spent some time as a giant Metapod before evolving into Butterfree.
 
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Metapod initially made a minor appearance during the first chapter of the ''Red''/''Green''/''Blue'' arc where it was amongst the Pokémon that escaped from [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory. Yellow's Caterpie also evolved into a Metapod during the climax of the ''Yellow'' arc, and but it spent only a brief amount of time in this form before evolving into Butterfree. Bugsy was also shown with a pair of Metapod alongside a pair of Kakuna as his main Pokémon during the ''Gold''/''Silver'' arc.
 
*In the ''Electric Tale of Pikachu'' manga, Ash's Caterpie evolved into a Metapod abruptly while Ash was showing off his Pokémon to [[Misty]] following his arrival at Cerulean City. Ash used it during his gym battle with Misty, and some jokes were made at its expense until it evolved in time to save the match.

*Metapod's name is a combination of "metamorphosis" and "pod".
