08 //Pokédex entries
Whirlipede protects itself with a sturdy shell and poisonous spikes while it stores up the energy it’ll need for evolution.
This Pokémon spins itself rapidly and charges into its opponents. Its top speed is just over 60 mph.
Storing energy for evolution, it sits. But, when predators approach, it moves to stab them with poison spikes.
It is usually motionless, but when attacked, it rotates at high speed and then crashes into its opponent.
Protected by a hard shell, it spins its body like a wheel and crashes furiously into its enemies.
