'''Weepinbell''' is a plant-like Pokémon from the first generation games. It is the middle form of [[Bellsprout]]'s evolutionary line and evolves into [[Victreebel]].

=Information=

It evolves from Bellsprout at Level 21, losing the former's body-like system of vines. They attack most prey by spitting out poisonpowder to immobilize them and then acid to finish them off. It will swallow anything that moves when hungry and melt it with its strong acids. Despite being filled with deadly acid, Weepinbell releases a neutralizing fluid to protect itself from melting as well. Weepinbell will also use its razor-sharp leaves to cut down larger prey into morsels to consume.

A Weepinbell has a large hook on its rear end that it uses to hang itself from a tree branch and go to sleep at night. They usually wind up on the ground if they move in their sleep. Weepinbell evolves into [[Victreebel]] when exposed to a Leaf Stone.

*In the Pokémon anime, [[Erika]] used a Weepinbell during her gym battle with Ash. James of Team Rocket has also had two different Weepinbell, both of which evolved into Victreebel. Aside from that, Weepinbell have made mostly small appearances throughout the series.
*In the Pokémon Adventures manga, one chapter had Ash captured by Victreebel in the Safari Zone to be fed to a group of Weepinbell as part of an evolution ceremony, but Ash ultimately was able to escape. In the ''Diamond''/''Pearl'' arc, Platina's butler Sebastian owned a Weepinbell that he used against intruders.

=Trivia=

*Its name is a combination of "weeping" (which refers to a plant that is dropping) and "bell" (which refers to its bell shape).
