'''Wurmple''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケムッソ''' ''Kemusso'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].
footnotes=}}


'''Wurmple''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケムッソ''' ''Kemusso'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.
Wurmple will [[Evolution|evolve]] into either {{p|Silcoon}} or {{p|Cascoon}} starting at [[level]] 7 depending on its [[personality value#Wurmple's evolution|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==
===Physiology===
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.
Wurmple's body is colored red at the top and a cream color on the belly. It has a sharp stinger on its head and has two on its rear. It also has small spikes running down its body.
====Gender differences====
None.


====Special abilities====
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 live 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.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
===Habitat===
Wurmple evolves into either {{p|Silcoon}}, which evolves into {{p|Beautifly}}, or evolves into {{p|Cascoon}}, which evolves into {{p|Dustox}}.

In the various [[Pokédex]] entries on Wurmple, it is described as eating leaves or pulling the bark off of trees to feed on the sap. This makes them easy to attract with [[Honey]].

Both {{an|May}} and [[Jessie]] each captured a Wurmple in ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]''. [[May's Wurmple]] evolved into {{p|Silcoon}} in ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'' while {{OP|Jessie|Wurmple}} evolved into a {{p|Cascoon}} in the same episode.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Wurmple shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Caterpie}}. They are both known as the Worm Pokémon.
* Wurmple shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Snom}}. They are all known as the Worm Pokémon.
*All four different species names belonging to Wurmple's evolutionary family are shared with a [[Generation I]] Pokémon.
* Wurmple is the only Pokémon whose [[evolution]] is directly influenced by its [[personality value#Wurmple's evolution|personality value]].
*Wurmple is the only Pokémon whose branched evolutions evolve further. All other Pokémon with a branch in their evolutionary line either evolve once before the branch or do not have any other evolutionary event besides the one which is branched.
** 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.
*Along with {{p|Clamperl}} and {{p|Burmy}}, it is one of the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutionary paths are all Pokémon of the same generation as it is.
** 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.
*Wurmple, along with {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}, evolves at level 7, the lowest set level in the games (though Pokémon that evolve by level up with another method can evolve as low as level 2).
* 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 is based on a {{wp|caterpillar}}. It also appears to resemble an {{wp|earwig}} somewhat.
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/>


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Wurmple's name is a combination of ''{{wp|worm}}'' and ''rumple'', referring to the wrinkled texture of its skin. Its Japanese name is derived from 毛虫 ''kemushi'', caterpillar.
Wurmple may be a combination of ''{{wp|worm}}'' and ''rumple'' (creased or wrinkled in texture) or ''simple''.
 
Kemusso may be derived from 毛虫 ''kemushi'' (caterpillar).
