A Big Weedle Problem is a side mission from Grandt, who can be found on Magenta Sector 3. He is standing by the gate of the garden.

To complete this Side Mission, you will have to catch the Level 45 Alpha Weedle. Defeating it without catching it will just cause it to respawn.
It is ideal to use Fire or Rock-type Pokemon in this battle for the type advantage. Camerupt is a good choice, as it is immune to Electroweb thanks to its Ground type. You may obtain it by evolving Numel, which can be caught in Wild Zone 8.

You have the choice to keep the Alpha Weedle or to give it to Grandt.
If you give it away, you cannot take it back. There are no additional rewards for giving the Weedle away. However, it will appear and stay in the overworld.

Grandt will reward you with 5 Sitrus Berries, 5 Hondew Berries, 5 Rindo Berries, as well as 1500 Pokemon Dollars upon completing this mission.

You may choose to keep the Alpha Weedle. Due to its high level, you have the choice to evolve it to Beedrill immediately.
You may also take this as your first step to getting a Mega Beedrill.
