James’s Victreebel was eventually traded for a Weepinbell that later evolved into another Victreebel.
In the Pokémon anime, James of Team Rocket had a Victreebel that he obtained as a Weepinbell. It evolved from Weepinbell after James used a Leaf Stone on it. This Victreebel was known for its comedic habit of affectionately attacking James with its signature Bite every time it was released from its Poké Ball. Despite this, James cared for Victreebel, as he did for all his Pokémon.
However, in the episode “Here’s Lookin’ at You, Elekid,” James inadvertently traded his Victreebel for a Weepinbell that belonged to a trainer named Benny. This trade was facilitated by a group of Victreebel that had a unique way of finding mates. James’s Victreebel joined the group, and the Weepinbell he received in exchange was holding a Leaf Stone, which allowed it to evolve into another Victreebel immediately after the trade. This new Victreebel also continued the tradition of biting James upon being released, maintaining the comedic element of their relationship.
