Venodude's body is coated in poison that continuously oozes from it. Pokémon Rangers warn hikers to watch their step as stepping on Venodude can be fatal. It hunts bugs at night and during the day it rests by burying itself into the ground.
It climbs mountain paths using only the power of its arms. Its coat of thin, stiff hair that covers its entire body is said to have evolved for protection.
