Behavior

Weedle generally prefer to remain undisturbed. They live in colonies with their evolved forms, Kakuna and Beedrill, and will recruit them to assist in their revenge if bothered.

Major appearances

In Challenge of the Samurai, Ash was very close to catching a Weedle. He used his newly caught Pidgeotto to battle, Weedle was knocked unconscious and when Ash was about to throw his Poké Ball, Samurai came up and asked Ash if he was a Trainer from Pallet Town. This distracted Ash from catching the Weedle, so it got away. This same Weedle later warned its kind and together, they tried to avenge its near capture by attacking Ash and company.

Casey captured a Weedle during the Bug-Catching Contest in The Bug Stops Here. She released it in accordance with Contest rules.

Minor appearances

Weedle appeared a few other times while Ash was in the Viridian Forest, such as when a number of them ate Team Rocket's cardboard tank.

A Weedle appeared in The Ultimate Test under the ownership of a trainer allowing Todd to photograph it. Due to a coloring error, this Weedle is the color of Green normally seen on a Caterpie. Despite being an error, Shiny Weedle are green in Generation II.
