Using it in a run

Caterpie spreads 195 base stat points. Its strongest stat is HP (45) and its weakest is Special Attack (20), so the role that fits depends on how the rest of the run covers that gap.

Under the game's real multipliers it takes increased damage from Fire, Flying and Rock. It resists Fighting, Grass and Ground in return. Use that to decide when to circle and when to leave, not to pick a favourite.

Its level-up learnset lists 3 moves; the hardest-hitting is Bug Bite at 60 power, available at level 9. That is the point where its damage actually changes.
