Caterpie
Sun

When attacked by bird Pokémon, it resists by releasing a terrifically strong odor from its antennae, but it often becomes their prey.

Moon

It’s easy to catch, and it grows quickly, making it one of the top recommendations for novice Pokémon Trainers.

Ultra Sun

Perhaps because it would like to grow up quickly, it has a voracious appetite, eating a hundred leaves a day.

Ultra Moon

Its body is soft and weak. In nature, its perpetual fate is to be seen by others as food.

Lets Go Pikachu/Lets Go Eevee

If you touch the feeler on top of its head, it will release a horrible stink to protect itself.
