Although usually harmless, this Pokémon will not hesitate to use a powerful Sand-Attack if provoked. Regardless, it remains a perfect target for first-time Pokémon trainers.
This Pokémon is very territorial, and will not hesitate to use its three powerful stingers to poison those who come close to its hive. They also sometimes attack in swarms.
If you spot a Caterpie, it is likely that Weedle is in the same area as well due to their similar attributes. However, this Pokémon is also equipped with a stinger on its head that inflicts poison on the victim.
