#ELECTROWEB CATERPIE SKIN#
It will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. They have various adaptations that permit them to devour plant material safely, including an antenna that releases a horrible smell. Through specialized training it can learn to shoot a powerful string that can also lower speed and attack while asleep.Ĭaterpie grow very quickly, and need to eat voraciously in order to meet their energy requirements. Recently Caterpie and other Bug-type Pokémon have been found to have the ability to bite opponents and eat a Berry they may be holding. Much like many un-evolved Bug-type Pokémon Caterpie can trust in a small moveset, not being able to trust in TMs, HMs or inheriting moves from its parents. It can also spit a string from its mouth in order to entangle foes. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort. This serves as an effective protective mechanism against most predators. The antennae on its head will emit a terrible stench from it if the Caterpie is frightened or if the antennae are touched. It shares many characteristics with other larval Pokémon like Weedle. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antennae (osmeterium) on its head. Caterpie is serpentine and resembles a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its body.
