Weepinbell (Japanese: ウツドン Utsudon) is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Weepinbell has a yellow, bell-shaped body and a wide, gaping mouth. It has green, razor sharp, leafy appendages. Weepinbell also has a brown hook at the rear of its head which may be a remnant of the roots of it's 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 which prevents it's internal acids from melting it.
Behavior
Weepinbell camouflage themselves as plants in the forest whilst awaiting an unwary victim. When it's prey draws near the Weepinbell sprays toxic pollen to immobilize the target before melting it with it's internal acids. Weepinbell hangs from tree branches by it's brown hook as it sleeps. If it moves around during sleep, the Weepinbell may slip and awaken to find itself on the ground.
Habitat
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.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
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 it's razor sharp leaves to slice it's meal into smaller pieces.
In the anime
Weepinbell first appeared in The School of Hard Knocks. It was owned by Joe.
A Weepinbell was also used by Erika against Ash during the Celadon City Gym battle.
James had two separate Weepinbell, both of which evolved into Victreebel.
Weepinbell are used in the Celadon and Bonitaville Contests.
