Beedrill is a weak member of the Project Catch 'Em All cast, though as a result, has fast recharge times on almost all its attacks. Toxic Spike protects Beedrill against contact moves for a small period of time and (just as Twineedle and Poison Jab do) has the added chance of poisoning the opponent. Being a Bug-type Pokémon, Beedrill is strong against Grass-, Dark- and Psychic-types, but weak to Fire- and Flying- types.
