Wurmple will [[Evolution|evolve]] into either {{p|Silcoon}} or {{p|Cascoon}} starting at [[level]] 7 depending on its [[personality value]]. As personality values cannot be influenced or seen by the player, what a given Wurmple will evolve into is essentially random. From there, the Silcoon or Cascoon will evolve again starting at level 10 into {{p|Beautifly}} or {{p|Dustox}} respectively.

==Biology==
==Biology==
Wurmple is a small, {{wp|caterpillar}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body is mainly red with a cream underside and face. It has large yellow eyes with dark pupils. It has one sharp yellow stinger on its head and two of them on its rear. It has a tall, erect, red spine behind its forehead and a similar, smaller spine behind that. It has small spikes running down the top portions of its body and five pairs of stubby white limbs.

It has small spikes running down the top portions of its body and five pairs of stubby white limbs.


Wurmple has suction pads at the tips of its feet, which allow it to cling to glass or tree branches without slipping. It can spit white silk that turns gooey when exposed to the air. To defend itself, it can release poison from its tail spikes, which can weaken foes. Wurmple's diet consist of leaves and sap, the latter of which it gets by pulling bark off trees. Wurmple are abundant and lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}. It is unknown why Wurmple evolves into either {{p|Silcoon}} or {{p|Cascoon}}, and not even Wurmple's appearance gives a hint to which species it will evolve into. {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Swellow}}, and {{p|Starly}} are natural predators of Wurmple.

* Wurmple is the only Pokémon whose [[evolution]] is directly influenced by its [[personality value#Wurmple's evolution|personality value]].

** Pokémon whose evolution are influenced by their [[gender]] also evolve based on their personality value, although, unlike Wurmple, their determined evolution can be known in advance.
** By evolving Wurmple to Silcoon or Cascoon, and then exiting the game without saving, it is possible to learn which form Wurmple will take without irreversibly evolving it. As the [[personality value#Wurmple's evolution|personality value]] is a static value, [[soft resetting]] to revert it to a Wurmple and evolving that same Wurmple again will never result in a different evolution from the prior attempt.
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Wurmple's shape was [[File:Body02.png|32px]].
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Wurmple's shape was [[File:Body02.png|32px]].
* Wurmple has on occasion been erroneously depicted with a yellow horn on the back of its head. This design notably appears in it sprites for {{g|Pinball}}: [[File:PinRSani265.png]]. It also appeared in prerelease materials for {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, but was removed in the release version.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Wurmple seems to be based on a {{wp|caterpillar}}, particularly the {{wp|Battus philenor|pipevine swallowtail}} larva due to its red color and the many nodules along its body. Its ability to inject poison may be based on {{wp|Caterpillar#Human health|caterpillar stings}}.
Wurmple is based on a {{wp|caterpillar}},<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref> perhaps specifically the {{wp|Battus philenor|pipevine swallowtail}} larva due to its red color and the many nodules along its body.
 
According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in an interview, Wurmple was intentionally designed to be similar to Caterpie, and is meant to fill in for Caterpie's role in the [[Hoenn]] region, i.e. being a simple evolutionary line that can teach new players the concept of Pokémon [[evolution]].<ref name=ND84/>
