Pokedex Entry

Apidomaris venenosus, or Beedrill, is a robust insect species characterized by its striking yellow and black coloration, which serves as aposematic signaling to potential predators. This species possesses three venomous stingers on its forelegs and one on its tail, adaptations that enhance its predation efficiency and defense mechanisms. Beedrill exhibit territorial behavior, often defending their nests aggressively and attacking in swarms when threatened, showcasing complex social structures similar to those of many eusocial insects. Their diet consists primarily of nectar and small insects, allowing them to play a vital role in pollination while also serving as predators in their ecological niche. Beedrill are adapted for rapid flight, with specialized wing structures that facilitate high-speed maneuvers, aiding in both hunting and evasion from larger predators. Their preferred habitats include dense floral environments, such as meadows and woodlands, where they can easily access food sources and establish their nests.
