When a caterpie evolves, it covers itself in a special thread, much like the thread it uses for its String Shot technique, then it'll wiggle around as it prepares its body for metaphorsis, the string hardens into the green shell and a metapod is created.

Metapod don't move around so much, when it evolves from Caterpie, it instintively learns the harden technique, some metapod found in the wild forget the moves they knew as a caterpie, but one raised by a trainer will remember them, because they used them so often.

It is common for some metapod to suspend themselves from trees while they await evolution into Butterfree, but some can also be found hiding in tall grass, sometimes other mean-spirited pokémon will knock them down.

THE FOOTPRINT OF A METAPOD

Metapod are pretty common in Kanto and Johto, but do not live in Hoenn or Orre.

In Kanto Metapod are mostly found in Viridian Forest, but you can also find them along Routes 2, 24, & 25 and in the Pattern Bush area.

In Johto however, they're in the National Park and Ilex Forest, and along Routes 30 & 31.
