Beedrill (Japanese: スピアー Spear) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Kakuna starting at level 10. It is the final form of Weedle.
Beedrill can Mega Evolve into Mega Beedrill using the Beedrillite.
Biology
Beedrill is a Pokémon which mostly resembles a bipedal, yellow wasp; however, it only has four legs instead of six and lacks pigment pits. Beedrill's head is round with a slightly pointed mouth, large, red eyes, and black antennae with a sharp bend in the middle. Its forelegs are tipped with long, conical stingers. It stands on its other two legs, which are long, segmented, and insectoid in shape. Beedrill has two pairs of rounded, veined wings, and another stinger on its yellow-and-black striped abdomen.
Beedrill is highly territorial and unlike real bees, Beedrill live in colonies rather than true "hives", and they work together to solve basic problems regarding food, territory and reproduction. As seen in the anime, Beedrill seems to be especially concerned with the welfare of Weedle and Kakuna and it will respond aggressively to those that disturb them. Disturbing one Beedrill will cause the whole colony to attack. It flies at high speed and attacks using the large venomous stingers on its forelegs and abdomen. The two stingers on its forelimbs allow it to use its former signature move, Twineedle. It will take the victims of its attacks back to its nest for food. Beedrill nests in temperate forests and misty wooded areas.
As Mega Beedrill, it gains more defined features. The antennae are shorter and T-shaped. Its eyes become longer and sleeker. It now has three pairs of wings; the uppermost pair is larger with a black trim along the top. Its stingers become longer and larger, resembling lances. Additional conical, black-and-yellow stingers with white tips take the place of its legs. Its abdomen becomes larger, grooved and is attached to its thorax by a black structure. A similar black structure connects its head and thorax. The stinger on its abdomen is now a pale yellow, and it now has black stripes over its entire body. Fast-acting poison is stored in the stingers on its limbs, while the tail stinger produces a slow-acting poison that is used to finish opponents. The instantaneous poisons are instead used to prevent the foe from fleeing.[1]

Trivia
- Beedrill's English name was originally going to be spelled Beedril.
- Beedrill can be seen as a parallel to Butterfree. Both of their unevolved stages evolve into their respective first evolutionary stages at level 7, which then evolve into their respective final forms at level 10. They both also go through metamorphosis-like evolution and share a base stat total of 395. Also, while Beedrill is a version exclusive of Black and Black 2, Butterfree is exclusive to White and White 2.
- In Pokémon Conquest, Beedrill is the only Pokémon that is featured without its evolutionary relatives.
- Mega Beedrill was designed by Hitoshi Ariga.[2]
- Mega Beedrill has the highest Attack and Speed base stats of all Poison-type Pokémon. It also has the lowest Special Attack base stat of all Poison-type and Mega Evolved Pokémon, the lowest Defense of all Mega Evolved Pokémon, and the lowest single base stat of any Mega Evolved Pokémon.
- Mega Beedrill is the only Mega Evolved Pokémon whose base Special Attack is lower than that of its base form.
Origin
Beedrill seems to be based on a bee or wasp, possibly the Japanese honey bee, Asian giant hornet, or yellowjacket. Its pointed arms resemble spears. Its Shiny color scheme is similar to metallic green sweat bees.
Name origin
Beedrill may be a combination of bee and drill.
Spear is the English word spear. When spelled backwards in Japanese, spear (スピア) becomes Apis (アピス), the genus name of the honey bee.
