Flavor Text
-
It eats its weight in leaves every day. It fends off attackers with the needle on its head.
-
Often found in forests and grasslands. It has a sharp, toxic barb of around two inches on top of its head.
Its poison stinger is very powerful. Its bright-colored body is intended to warn off its enemies.
Weedle has an extremely acute sense of smell. It is capable of distinguishing its favorite kinds of leaves from those it dislikes just by sniffing with its big red proboscis (nose).
