Weedle

Weedle's Poison Sting provides a slight edge over #9 Caterpie against Bug-types, but both share the lowest base stat total in Generation I at 195. Weedle evolves into Beedrill, which attacks with 50% higher physical power than Butterfree on average, yet its lack of status moves makes it less adaptable than its rival evolutionary line. Despite being the weakest, Weedle's 40% chance of poisoning foes can tip early battles.
