0:00What if I told you there's a Pokemon that has to eat its entire body weight in leaves every single day just to survive long enough to become something else?
0:03This is Weedle.
0:06One inch tall, seven pounds.
0:10The lowest base stat total of any Poison-type Pokemon ever made.
0:13It's prey for basically everything in the forest.
0:16Pidgey.
0:19Spearow.
0:22Anything with a beak and an appetite.
0:25So what does Weedle have?
0:29A two-inch stinger on its head.
0:32Bright yellow and red coloring that screams I'm poisonous, please don't eat me.
0:35And an extremely good sense of smell so it can find the exact leaves it needs to keep going.
0:38The Pokédex says Weedle eats its weight in leaves every day.
0:41Not because it's greedy, but because that's what it takes!
0:45THAT'S the fuel cost of trying to grow fast enough to evolve before something catches it!
0:48And Weedle's hidden ability is literally called Run Away.
0:51That's not a battle strategy, but, a survival instinct baked into its DNA.
0:54Its whole existence is eat, hide, don't die.
0:57It evolves at level seven.
1:01Then again at level ten into Beedrill.
1:04One of the fastest evolution lines in the entire franchise.
1:07Because it has to be.
1:10Weedle can't afford to stay small.
1:13Every Beedrill you've ever seen started as a tiny bug eating its body weight every day, dodging predators, hoping it could make it just a little longer.
1:16Some of them didn't.
1:20What's a Pokemon you underestimated until you thought about what it takes to survive?
