Overview

Caterpie is the cute Pokemon equivalent of a caterpillar. Generally not liked due to being weak, it can be quite a good Pokemon once reaching it's final stage Butterfree. Being a Bug type, Caterpie is very easy to raise gaining levels quickly and reaching it's final evolution stage by 1/10th of the total levels any Pokemon may gain. Generally shy in nature, a Caterpie can be a very friendly partner once caught and will try its hardest despite being rather weak. Being a low leveled Pokemon and a Bug type, Caterpie only knows two moves being Tackle and String Shot. Rather than letting it evolve to a Metapod straight away, wait until the next level gained and it will retain these moves rather than just Harden.
