Venipede

Centipede Pokémon ^#543

Venipede and Sizzlipede are similar species, but when the two meet, a huge fight ensues.

Its fangs are highly venomous. If this Pokémon finds prey it thinks it can eat, it leaps for them without any thought of how things might turn out.

- Poison-Point
  Whenever a move makes contact with this Pokémon, the move's user has a 30% chance of being poisoned.
- Swarm
  When this Pokémon has 1/3 or less of its HP remaining, its bug-type moves inflict 1.5× as much regular damage. Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, the wild encounter rate is increased.

Its bite injects a potent poison, enough to paralyze large bird Pokémon that try to prey on it.
