#010Caterpie
BUGCOMMONCaterpie shows up in the level 1 hunt and averages 11 of loot and 8 XP per kill.
Is Caterpie worth hunting?
Among the 15 Pokémon in the level 1 hunt, Caterpie ranks 9th for loot per kill, 2% below the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
52% of all loot comes from a single item: Pot of Moss Bug. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Butterfly Wing (66 at the NPC), at 4.78% chance — on average one every 21 kills.
For XP it ranks 1 of 15 at this level — 8 per kill.
