'''Weedle''' is a poisonous worm-like Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation games. It is the first step in a three-stage evolutionary line, with its evolved forms being [[Kakuna]] and [[Beedrill]]. It also has a foil in the form of [[Caterpie]].

=Information=

Weedle are most commonly found in forests, usually hiding in grass and bushes. Their primary diet consists of leaves. It has a powerful two-inch poison stinger on its forehead that contains a powerful toxin and is used against enemies as a defense mechanism. Weedle's yellow coloring is intended to be a warning to its enemies.

They also have an acute sense of smell and can distinguish their favorite leaves from the ones they dislike by sniffing with their big red proboscis noses. Every day, it eats its weight in leaves. It can evolve into Kakuna at Level 7, beginning its metamorphosis into a Beedrill.
