Wurmple, the small red caterpillar Pokémon introduced in Generation III, has evolved into a cult favorite within the meme community. Its popularity reached a fever pitch with the long-awaited release of 'Party Hat Wurmple' in Pokémon GO, a version of the creature that fans campaigned for years to see added to the game. Memes featuring Wurmple typically leverage its simple, blank expression and small stature to create scenarios of unexpected power or relatable low-stakes struggles. From the iconic 'Wurmple with a gun' image to jokes about its unpredictable evolution into either Silcoon or Cascoon, Wurmple remains a versatile symbol of the 'small but mighty' internet aesthetic.
