Metapod is | Metapod is an {{wp|insect}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a green {{wp|chrysalis}}. Its body is crescent-shaped with several segments making up the lower point. The front of Metapod's shell resembles a face with heavy-lidded eyes and a sharply pointed nose. The back of its shell consists of several geometrically shaped portions and projections. | ||
Metapod's soft body is protected by a hard outer shell as it undergoes {{wp|metamorphosis}}. While this shell is said to be as hard as steel, a sudden, powerful impact could cause its liquid innards to pop out, leaving it completely exposed. Metapod generally remains motionless, rebuilding its cells for evolution. If an enemy discovers Metapod, it is unable to do anything other than harden its outer shell. Metapod lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}, often in groups. {{p|Pikipek}} is a natural predator of Metapod. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Metapod is known to sleep while using the move {{m|Harden}} constantly to protect its innards. It stays still while sleeping to avoid getting attacked by foes<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>. | |||

==In the anime== | |||
===Main series=== | |||
[[File:Goh Metapod.png|thumb|250px|Metapod in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']] | |||
[[File:Metapod evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|Metapod's original evolution method in ''Pokémon the Series'']] | |||
====Major appearances==== | |||
=====[[Ash's Metapod]]===== | |||
{{Ash}} had a Metapod that he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a {{p|Caterpie}} and evolved in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', thus also marking the species' debut. He eventually evolved into {{p|Butterfree}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', following an attack by a horde of {{p|Beedrill}}. | |||
Metapod also appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. He evolved from Caterpie during a {{pkmn|battle}} against a {{p|Pinsir}} and later evolved into Butterfree after a battle against a group of {{p|Primeape}}. | |||
=====Other===== | |||
In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', [[Samurai]]'s Metapod battled Ash's own Metapod, but because both Metapod only knew {{m|Harden}}, the battle went on for hours until a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} forced the battle to end. | |||
In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', [[Bugsy]] used a Metapod during his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash, facing {{AP|Chikorita}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} before being defeated by the latter's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Unlike most Metapod, this one was actually able to fight back by using {{m|Tackle}}. More Metapod were seen inside the [[Azalea Gym]] in the same episode. | |||
A Metapod appeared in ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', under the ownership of [[Zander]]. It became {{pkmn2|giant}} after eating some enhanced [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]]. Zander's Caterpie knocked down part of a radio tower in order to make a place for it to evolve into Metapod. It later evolved again to become a Butterfree. | |||
