Name origin
Its name originates from "bell" (referring to its pre-evolved form, Bellsprout), and "weeping", a word that is often used in nomenclature of plants that bend over.
Availability
Weepinbell can be evolved from a level 21 Bellsprout, or caught in some locations in the wild in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
Information
Weepinbell immobilises its enemies by using Poisonpowder and Acid. It will swallow anything that moves and digest it within its stomach, and produces a neutralising fluid to keep from being affected by its own strong stomach acids. If its prey is larger than it, it will first use sharp leaves to slice it up before eating. Weepinbell uses the large hook on its rear end to hang on to tree branches and vines.
Weepinbell looks a lot like a Bellsprout, but without the vines and leaves. Instead, it likes to hop along.
Animé appearances
In the Pokemon TV series, it was used by the character James briefly, but then it became a Victreebel. There are only 2 other times it got the spotlight in the Pokémon series. One was in the Pokémon School episode when a trainer let it out during a battle and it was suprisingly wiped out by Misty's Starmie, although it was a Grass-type, which is supposed to be stronger than Water types like Starmie. The other time was in the episode when Ash battled gym leader Erika. In that episode Erika let out her Weepinbell and Ash's Charmander defeated it.
