Name Origin
Wurmple probably originated from the words worm, and purple, probably referring to the color of the worm it is based off of.
Pokédex Definition
Ruby: "Using the spikes on its rear end, Wurmple peels the bark off trees and feeds on the sap that oozes out. This Pokémon's feet are tipped with suction pads that allow it to cling to glass without slipping."
Sapphire: "Wurmple is targeted by Swellow as prey. This Pokémon will try to resist by pointing the spikes on its rear at the attacking predator. It will weaken the foe by leaking poison from the spikes."
Emerald: "It sticks to tree branches and eats leaves. The thread it spits from its mouth, which becomes gooey when it touches air, slows the movement of its foes."
Evolution
There are many theories regarding Wurmple's evolution path. The two most common theories are:
- Wurmple is more likely to evolve into Silcoon in the daytime, and Cascoon at night.
- Females are more likely to evolve into Silcoon, while males are more likely to evolve into Cascoon.
However, both of these theories are false, as Wurmple's evolution path is determined by a random hexadecimal value.
