Metapods are the pupal evolution of Caterpie. They tend to remain as still as possible in order to preserve energy, which, in conjunction with their green coloration acting as camouflage, can make them difficult to identify. While they are technically able to attack by throwing their body at their opponent, their clumsiness makes survival through harden its armor until its attacker simply gives up far more advantageous. With enough time and growth, a Metapod can hatch from its chrysalis, evolving into a Butterfree. |
