The Beginning


When Greta is given a task to catch a Pokémon in, she visits Pallet Jungle with. She states that she has always dreamed of catching a Caterpie. Therefore, she particularly looks for one. Later on, Butterfree, as a Caterpie appears on a tree, feeding leaves. Greta uses her to catch her. Caterpie slows down the foe with String Shot and attacks with Tackle. Caterpie keeps up with the battle until she is poisoned by Nidoran's Ability Poison Point. Greta takes the advantage of it and throws her Poké Ball, ends up catching a Caterpie as she has hoped.

Caterpie makes her first appearance as a team member in. When Greta, Redwald and are chased by a wild Kangaskhan, Caterpie comes out to help. She slows her down by using String Shot and attacks with Tackle to get rid of her.

Caterpie participates in Professor Oak's Summer Camp Competition for Greta in. She appears in the quarter final first, battling a random student's Staryu. Caterpie follows the same pattern of slowing down the foe and then attacking them with all her might. She defeats it and qualifies for the semi final. In the semi final, Caterpie battles 's. In the beginning, the two Pokémon use String Shot to slow each other down. Then, Weedle changes his tactic and goes with Poison Sting. However, Caterpie dodges it and causes Weedle to stick his head on a wood. Caterpie takes advantage of it and attacks Weedle with Tackle. Evenutally, she faints Weedle and wins the round. That is the first step of born of a rivalry between the two Pokémon.

In, Caterpie participates in the final round against. By using the same pattern, Caterpie once again faints him. Her next opponent is, to whom she finally loses.

Part Red & Green
Caterpie's rivalry with Madison's Weedle is officially confirmed in, when the two trainers meet in Viridian Forest and challenge each other to a Pokémon battle. Before their battle is ended, they are attacked by Beedrill Pack. When Greta and Caterpie escape from the pack, their battle is cancelled. After that, Caterpie battles the members of Parasect Pack for self defense. When Caterpie is about to attack the leader of the pack, interrupts and tells Greta to not have Caterpie using Tackle due to Parasect's ability of leaving the foe paralyzed in case of contact in the battle.

In the end of the day, Caterpie's body begins to glow once in a while, but no one realizes at the time.



Caterpie is involved to the war of the two groups, Beedrill Pack and Parasect Pack in. The group of poachers who is led by Gabor is supporting Beedrill Pack. Therefore, Greta and are involved in a Pokémon battle with Gabor. Gabor's Exeggutor defeats and. Greta, as a last resort, uses Caterpie. Since she is resistant to Exeggutor, she stands a longer chance than others. Caterpie then slows down the foe with String Shot and attacks him with Tackle, eventually faints him. The victory gives courage and hope to whole Parasect Pack, because of which Parasect Pack wins the war. Out of the respect Caterpie gains, she evolves into Metapod in the end.

As in a cocoon stage of her evolution, Eusine warns Greta about how careful she must be, as Metapod's skin is too soft and Caterpie has to be safe in there to improve herself. Eusine tells it would be even a better idea if Greta carries Metapod along outside of her Poké Ball, which she would be doing. Until, Metapod is often carried outside and cared carefully by Greta. Around that time, Metapod begins to glow once in a while as a sign of upcoming evolution any time soon. Around that time, Greta meets Madison and learns that her is about to eovlve as well. Therefore, the two decide to stick around together in the meantime.



Madison says that she wants to try a potion that is suggested by Eshmun for Kakuna in order to fasten his process. Thus, she goes looking for plants and herbs with Greta. They are however attacked by a wild Arbok. Greta grabs a branch and hits Arbok. Before she gets a chance to escape, Arbok catches her and hurts Metapod. Metapod has a crack on her cocoon. Despite of whatever Greta tries, nothing helps. Madison prepares the potion for Metapod and uses it on her. At night, Metapod finally evolves into a Butterfree. Same Arbok attacks Butterfree once again. Butterfree then performs a great battle where she uses Poison Powder, Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. In the end, Arbok runs away and Butterfree wins.

Butterfree battles in. During their battle, Butterfree attempts to either poison or paralyze the foe, but she fails at either. She gets trapped becuase she does not have any attacking move. Therefore, she improves Psybeam and attacks Beedrill with it. As battling in the air tires both Pokémon out, it goes almost equal until the end. Finally, Beedrill performs a Take Down, which faints the two Pokémon at the same time, leaving the battle in draw.

Personality
As a Caterpie, she would live in Viridian Forest on her own until she is caught. Later on, she appears to be shy and inactive. Upon being caught, she becomes very loyal and domestic towards Greta and other team members. She improves her relationship with other Pokémon. She represents hope and inspiration as a role model for Parasect Pack in.

After she evolves into a Metapod, she turns into an inactive Pokémon once again, but this time literally. During her process, she is even unable to move or cry. Greta takes good care of her, and makes her feel comfortable. She is carried outside of her Poké Ball most of the time. Eventually, she completes her process as a cocoon and evolves into a Butterfree.

As a Butterfree, she becomes very elegant, self confident and good battler, unlike how she was in the past. She uses powders to get rid of the foes by either poisoning, paralyzing them or putting them in sleep.
