Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Red / Blue / LeafGreen	Its short feet are tipped with suction pads that enable it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls.
Yellow	If you touch the feeler on top of its head, it will release a horrible stink to protect itself.
Gold	For protection, it releases a horri ble stench from the antenna on its head to drive away enemies.
Silver / SoulSilver / Y	Its feet have suction cups designed to stick to any surface. It tenaciously climbs trees to forage.
Crystal	It crawls into foliage where it camouflages itself among leaves that are the same color as its body.
Ruby / Sapphire	CATERPIE has a voracious appetite. It can devour leaves bigger than its body right before your eyes. From its antenna, this POKéMON releases a terrifically strong odor.
Emerald	Its voracious appetite compels it to devour leaves bigger than itself without hesitation. It releases a terribly strong odor from its antennae.
FireRed	It is covered with a green skin. When it grows, it sheds the skin, covers itself with silk, and becomes a cocoon.
Diamond / Pearl / Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2	It releases a stench from its red antenna to repel enemies. It grows by molting repeatedly.
HeartGold / X	For protection, it releases a horrible stench from the antennae on its head to drive away enemies.
Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire	Caterpie has a voracious appetite. It can devour leaves bigger than its body right before your eyes. From its antenna, this Pokémon releases a terrifically strong odor.
Sun	When attacked by bird Pokémon, it resists by releasing a terrifically strong odor from its antennae, but it often becomes their prey.
Moon	It’s easy to catch, and it grows quickly, making it one of the top recommendations for novice Pokémon Trainers.
Ultra Sun	Perhaps because it would like to grow up quickly, it has a voracious appetite, eating a hundred leaves a day.
Ultra Moon	Its body is soft and weak. In nature, its perpetual fate is to be seen by others as food.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
