-Caterpie’s name is derived from the word ''[[caterpillar]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Canabridge Encyclopedia|url=http://www.dragonflycave.com/pokedex/index.aspx?dex=caterpie|publisher=dragonflycave.com|accessdate=July 29|accessyear=2006}}</ref> The name ''Caterpie'' refers to the species as a whole, as well as to individual specimens in the games, anime, manga, trading cards, and other media. In the beta versions of ''Red''/''Blue'', it was called ''Butterpie'' [http://www.pokebeach.com/index.php]
-== {{PokeAttributes}} ==
-Caterpie is a relatively weak Pokémon, but like many real caterpillars it employs biological adaptations to help it survive. Its green coloring allows it to hide easily in foliage, and the eye patterns on its head serve to scare away predators. That failing, it can release a sticky, smelly liquid from the feeler on its head, as those foolish enough to touch this antenna learn the hard way. It evolves into a [[Metapod]] then into a [[Butterfree]].
-Its short feet end in suction cups that allow it to easily climb on any surface, no matter how steep. It uses these to climb trees and satisfy its voracious appetite, even feeding on leaves larger than its own body.<!--Where the hell in Kanto and Johto does it find leaves bigger than a foot-long caterpillar?--> When it has eaten enough to fuel its growth, it sheds its skin, covers itself in silk, and becomes a Cocoon Pokémon, [[Metapod]].
-The design of Caterpie closely parallels the appearance of the [[Xylophanes tersa|Tersa Sphinx]] caterpillar, as well as the [[Spicebush Swallowtail]] caterpillar.
-Caterpie serves as the main prey of [[Pidgey]],[[Pidgeotto]], [[Spearow]], and [[Taillow]].
-== {{PokeVideoGames}} ==
-Caterpie are featured in the [[Pokémon (video games)|Pokémon video game series]]. Originally in Japanese, but later translated into other languages, the games have sold over 143&nbsp;million copies worldwide.<ref>"[http://web.archive.org/web/20050314021722/http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazine/99/1122/pokemon6.fullinterview1.html The Ultimate Game Freak: Interview with Satoshi Tajiri]", ''TimeAsia.com'' URL Accessed [[July 12]], [[2006]] ([[Waybacked]]).</ref>
-Caterpie are one of the first few Pokémon found in several ''Pokémon'' video games, and, just as real caterpillars are the fastest-growing animals in our world, caterpillar-like Pokémon evolve into their secondary and final forms faster than any others. [[Pokémon evolution|Evolution]] in the Pokémon universe is a type of [[metamorphosis|metamorphic]] change, usually caused by gaining experience in battle.
-Caterpie are found in the [[List of Kanto locations#Viridian Forest|Viridian Forest]] in [[Kanto (Pokémon)|Kanto]], and in the [[List of Johto locations#Ilex Forest|Ilex Forest]] in [[Johto]].
-As a [[Pokémon types#Bug-type|Bug]]-type, Caterpie are vulnerable to [[Pokémon types#Fire-type|Fire]]-, [[Pokémon types#Flying-type|Flying]]- and [[Pokémon types#Rock-type|Rock]]-types and are resistant to [[Pokémon types#Grass-type|Grass]]-, [[Pokémon types#Ground-type|Ground]]- and [[Pokémon types#Fighting-type|Fighting]]-types. In ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'', they are vulnerable to [[Pokémon types#Poison-type|Poison]]-types.
-All Pokémon have specific [[Statistic (role-playing games)|statistical ratings]] of the qualities, such as power, speed, and vitality, which help them in battles. All ratings can be improved by certain costly items available in the game.<ref> [http://guides.ign.com/guides/496231/page_3.html List of Power-up Items], ''IGN.com''. </ref> Caterpie's statistics are low, and they do not learn any new attacks before they evolve into [[Metapod]] upon reaching level 7.
-== {{PokeAnime}} ==
-<!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:ScreenshotPokemonEpi3.gif|thumb|right|Caterpie and Pikachu.]] -->
-The [[Pokémon (anime)|''Pokémon'' anime]] [[Television program|series]] and [[film]]s are a meta-series of adventures separate from the [[canon (fiction)|canon]] that most of the ''Pokémon'' video games (excepting ''[[Pokémon Yellow]]''<ref>[http://uk.gameboy.ign.com/articles/162/162045p1.html ''Pokémon Yellow'' Critical Review] ''Ign.com''. Retrieved on [[March 3]], [[2007]]</ref>) follow. The anime features the quest of [[Ash Ketchum]],<ref name="ash"> [http://www.psypokes.com/anime/index.php ''Pokémon'' anime overview] ''Psypokes.com''. URL Accessed [[May 25]], [[2006]].</ref> a young Pokémon trainer, as he and several other companions travel around the world with their Pokémon partners.
-In the anime, Caterpie was the very first Pokémon [[Ash Ketchum]] captured - probably through beginner’s (dumb) luck, as he didn’t even bother to weaken it in battle first. He soon sent it out in an attempt to capture a [[Pidgeotto]], but it was badly beaten because of its type disadvantage. Later, despite its weakened state, it helped Ash to defeat [[Team Rocket]] using String Shot, and evolved into a Metapod - faster than any known specimen, according to Dexter (the [[A.I.]] of Ash’s [[Pokédex]]).

-In the ''[[Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu!]]'' manga, which loosely parallels the storyline of the anime, Ash caught a Caterpie when it let its guard down. After battling [[Brock (Pokémon)|Brock]], they were having lunch with [[Misty (Pokémon)|Misty]] (during which Pidgeotto eyed Caterpie hungrily), and it evolved into Metapod. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], a Caterpie was the first Pokémon that [[Yellow (Pokémon)|Yellow]] captured on her own (albeit with instruction from [[Blue (Pokémon)|Blue]]). At first, she had no idea how she was supposed to go about capturing it, since she hates to use Pokémon for battle, but she prevailed in the end and nicknamed it Kitty. As with all her Pokémon, she became close to Kitty, considering it her friend, and was reluctant to let it evolve.
-Caterpie has not had a particularly extensive career in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], appearing only in the Base Set (and Base Set 2 plus the Legendary Collection), Neo Discovery, Expedition, and EX FireRed & LeafGreen.
