Story

Caterpie is an adorable Worm Pokémon that lives in lush forests where it enjoys munching on leaves of all sizes. This little bug might look small and sweet, but it has a surprising trick—a bright red antenna on its head! This antenna helps keep hungry predators away by letting out a smell that bugs don't like. With its tiny suction cup feet, Caterpie can climb almost anywhere!

Despite its clever defenses, Caterpie is gentle and makes the perfect friend for new Trainers. As it munches on tasty leaves, it grows quickly, ready to evolve into something new. Plus, when it’s feeling sleepy, it sometimes snoozes with a stringy drool hanging from its mouth. Keep an eye out for Caterpie in the forest, chewing on a leafy snack!
