Weepinbell has a yellow, bell-shaped body and a wide, gaping mouth with pink lips and what seems to be a tongue. It has no legs or arms. Above Weepinbell’s circular eyes is a pattern of three small green spots. Weepinbell has green, razor sharp, leafy appendages, which droop like the leaves of a weeping plant. Weepinbell also has a brown hook on a segment at the rear of its head, which may be a remnant of the roots of its previous form.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Weepinbell has an extremely potent internal acid, which has the ability to dissolve almost anything within seconds. Weepinbell also oozes a neutralizing fluid that prevents its internal acids from melting its own body.
Behavior
Weepinbell camouflage themselves as plants in the forest whilst awaiting an unwary victim. When its prey draws near the Weepinbell sprays toxic pollen to immobilize the target before melting it with its internal acids. Weepinbell hangs from tree branches by its brown hook as it sleeps. If it moves around during sleep, Weepinbell may slip and awaken to find itself on the ground.
Weepinbell live in forests, as well as tropical jungles and swamps where the ground is rich in nutrients. They can also occasionally be found in caves, near sources of underground water. It is most commonly found in Kanto and Johto, but can also be found in Sinnoh.
Weepinbell is less of a picky eater than its previous form, as it will attempt to eat anything that passes near it. If a foe is too large to fit in Weepinbell's mouth it will use its razor sharp leaves to slice its meal into smaller pieces.
In Pokémon Adventures, Red gets dragged into an evolutionary ceremony by a wild Victreebel to serve as food in the Kanto Safari Zone. With the help of the Pidgey-shaped robot that was assigned to him, and a few good items he carried around, the Weepinbell that were about to eat him for their evolution were distracted, and he was able to flee. Red seemed safe, but the wild Nidoking he'd injured earlier came rampaging in, though he was able to capture them all in the end.
Sebastian, Platinum's resident butler, has a Weepinbell that he uses to drive burglars out of the Berlitz mansion. However, when Diamond accidentally sneaked in thinking that he walked into a large park, all the Pokémon accomplished was getting his clothes wet, though it proved to be an adept battler.
Weepinbell has a large hook on its rear end. At night, the Pokémon hooks on to a tree branch and goes to sleep. If it moves around in its sleep, it may wake up to find itself on the ground.
