Caterpie @ Eviolite

Level: 5
EVs: 196 Atk / 116 SpA / 196 SpD
Naughty Nature
- Bug Bite
- Electroweb
- String Shot
- Tackle

Don't use Caterpie, it's terrible. Absolutely terrible. Eviolite makes it bulkier. Bug Bite steals berries and is STAB. Electroweb and String Shot for cruddy Speed control. Tackle because it doesn't get anything else.

Caterpie

Gen 8 LC

You shouldn't Use Caterpie, She's too frail and she gets Countered by Everything, But she's cute, So we let It slide.

Caterpie @ Choice Band
Ability: Shield Dust
Level: 5
EVs: 196 Atk / 76 Def / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 SpA
- Bug Bite
- Tackle

This set Tries to make Caterpie a Wallbreaker being able to hit Carvanha, Inkay and Abra Super Effectively, But you'd get OHKO'D before you even bug Bited.
Shield Dust prevents Attacks from Porygon to not Freeze or Paralyze you, but It still sucks anyways so It's Ability doesn't help, Bug Bite Is Stab and Is already said, Hits Super Effectively, Tackle for Ferroseed, You can also run String Shot for Momentum, But Overall, Please don't use Caterpie.
