Wurmple is a combination of the words worm, and rumple, referring to the wrinkled texture of its skin. Its Japanese name is a combination of the words "kemushi" (caterpillar) and "uso" (lie, false).

Biological characteristics

Much like Caterpie and Weedle, which can be counted as its counterparts in Pokémon Red and Blue, Wurmple is a relatively weak worm Pokémon, constantly threatened by larger bird Pokémon such as Swellow or Pidgeotto. Caterpie ) are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. ...

The spikes on its back are similar to those of silkworms, but with an important difference: Wurmple's can sting its predators with poison. Binomial name Bombyx mori Linnaeus, 1758 For other senses of this word, see silkworm (disambiguation). ...

Many people may be startled by its "scary" buggish-look, but they may change their minds knowing that it can evolve into an elegant Beautifly. Beautifly (アゲハント Agehanto in Japan, Papinella in Germany and Charmillon in France) is one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the Pokémon media franchise. ...

Using the spikes on its rear end, Wurmple peels the bark off trees and feeds on the sap that oozes out. Its feet are tipped with suction pads that allow it to cling to glass without slipping. Swellow target Wurmple for prey. The Wurmple will try to resist by pointing the spikes on its rear at the attacking predator. It will weaken the foe by leaking poison from the spikes. The thread it spits from its mouth, which becomes slimy when it comes in contact with air, slows the movement of its foes.

In the video games

In the Pokémon video games, Wurmple is weak except for the very first stages of the game. So it remains until it evolves first into Silcoon/Cascoon at level seven (when it's still very weak) and later into Beautifly/Dustox at level 10, when it gets stronger. Wurmple has a very peculiar method of evolution. Silcoon is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. ... Cascoon is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. ... Beautifly (アゲハント Agehanto in Japan, Papinella in Germany and Charmillon in France) is one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the Pokémon media franchise. ... Dustox (ドクケイル Dokucale in Japan, Pudox in Germany and Papinox in France) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon franchise. ...

There are many theories regarding Wurmple's evolution path. The two most common theories are:

• Wurmple is more likely to evolve into Silcoon in the daytime, and Cascoon at night.
• Females are more likely to evolve into Silcoon, while males are more likely to evolve into Cascoon.

However, both of these theories are false, as Wurmple's evolution path is determined by a decimal value (its 'Personality Value', from 0 to 9) based on both its gender, nature and a secret value hidden within the game, meaning there is very little, if anything, players can do to change the probability involved. Silcoon is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. ... Cascoon is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. ... Silcoon is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. ... Cascoon is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. ...

If Wurmple's Personality Value is less than or equal to 4 (0-4 inclusive), it will evolve into Silcoon.

If Wurmple's Personality Value is greater than or equal to 5 (5-9 inclusive), it will evolve into Cascoon.

Wurmple is highly comparable to Caterpie and Weedle from the earlier games. It is found only at the very beginning of the games, on routes 101, 102, 104 and in the Petalburg Woods.

Wurmple (also like Caterpie and Weedle) doesn't learn many attacks naturally (only string shot, tackle and poison sting (at level 5)) and will only start to become "interesting" when it's evolved. It learns no TMs or HMs.

In Pokémon Trading Card Game

There is a total of three versions of Wurmple in Pokémon Trading Card Game.

• EX: Ruby and Sapphire
• EX: Dragon
• EX: Deoxys
