About Caterpie Caterpie, the Worm Pokémon, is a Bug-type creature known for its distinctive green color and large eyes. This small and harmless Pokémon may not appear threatening, but it possesses an innate survival mechanism to ward off predators. Caterpie’s Bug-type moves give it an advantage against Grass and Psychic-type Pokémon, but it is weak against Fire, Flying, and Rock-type Pokémon, which can exploit its Bug-type vulnerabilities.
Evolution Caterpie evolves into Metapod starting at level 7. Metapod is the second stage of its evolution and retains the Bug-typing. Later, at level 10, Metapod evolves into its final form, Butterfree, becoming a graceful and powerful Bug/Flying-type Pokémon.
Training and Experience Gain To train Caterpie effectively, focus on battles against Grass and Psychic-type Pokémon. These encounters will grant it more experience points due to its type advantage. Additionally, participating in battles and defeating wild Pokémon will help Caterpie gain experience and level up faster.
