Wurmple (Japanese: ケムッソ Kemusso) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

Wurmple is a small larval caterpillar-like Pokémon. The top part of its long body is bright scarlet red, while its segmented underbelly is cream-colored. It has ten stubby white legs. It has many spines all over its body, including a long red spine atop its head, a yellow spike on its forehead, and two yellow spines protruding from its rear. It has large yellow eyes with black pupils.

Behavior

Wurmple are known to be easy prey for bird Pokémon such as Starly, Taillow and Swellow.

Evolution

Wurmple evolves into either Silcoon or Cascoon once it reaches level 7, depending on its personality value (example: a Wurmple with a bashful nature will evolve into Cascoon).

Appearances

Anime

Both May and Jessie owned Wurmple that evolved into Beautifly and Dustox, respectively.

Trivia

  • In Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, wild Wurmple can be found either holding a Bright Powder or a Pecha Berry. Wild Wurmple caught holding a Pecha Berry will evolve into Cascoon, while Wurmple caught holding a Bright Powder will evolve into Silcoon. This appears to help identify which "-coon" Wurmple might evolve into.
  • Wurmple, along with Caterpie and Weedle take the least amount of levels to evolve, with 7.

Origin

Wurmple is based on a caterpillar.

Etymology

Wurmple's name is likely a combination of the words "worm" and "rumple" (as its skin is rumpled and spiny).
