Weedle doesn't start out much differently than Caterpie. It's pretty weak when you get it, and evolving it into Kakuna doesn't make things much better. But Weedle's evolution continues at a lightning pace, and at level 10 you'll have a very useful (at least for the early part of the game) {{bp|Beedrill}}. Beedrill learns the best Bug-type attack, Twineedle, at level 20, but Beedrill's Poison-type and low stats make it pointless as an anti-Psychic Pokémon. That said, it should do well fighting Grass and other Poison types. Ultimately, Beedrill is fairly weak, only able to keep up with opponents until around Rock Tunnel, where you may want to consider finding a replacement. | Weedle doesn't start out much differently than Caterpie.

Beedrill doesn't really have much going for it in the way of attacks. Avoid the useless Rage (takes several turns to start doing damage) and Focus Energy (glitched; lowers critical hit rate instead of increaing it). Twineedle is a must, being the best Bug-type attack in the game, and Pin Missile is decent as well. If you wish to keep your Beedrill even after it's outlived its usefulness, then Mega Drain is a good move that allows it to hit Rock-types effectively. | |||
