Pokédex Flavour (description)

- WURMPLE is targeted by SWELLOW as prey. This POKéMON will try to resist by pointing the spikes on its rear at the attacking predator. It will weaken the foe by leaking poison from the spikes.
- Emerald
- It sticks to tree branches and eats leaves. The thread it spits from its mouth, which becomes gooey when it touches air, slows the movement of its foes.
- Fire Red
- It lives amidst tall grass and in forests. When attacked, it resists by pointing its venomous spikes at the foe.
- Leaf Green
- It lives amidst tall grass and in forests. When attacked, it resists by pointing its venomous spikes at the foe.
