Cascoon (Japanese: マユルド Mayuld) is a Bug-type Pokémon. It evolves from Wurmple depending on its personality value, starting at level 7, and it evolves into Dustox starting at level 10.

Biology[]

Cascoon is a cocoon-like Pokémon with a purple body, two red eyes, and spiky limbs. It has a tough cocoon that is able to endure attacks, and it will not move even when it is attacked. However, it never forgets the pain it endures. The inside of the cocoon is hot. It lives in forests. It hides motionless underneath large leaves and inside the gaps of tree branches. It camouflages itself by attaching dead leaves to its body. Even when attacked it remains motionless.

Trivia[]

  • Silcoon shares its species name with Metapod, Kakuna, and Cascoon. They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.
    • They also share the same base stat total, learnset, Ability, and EV yield.
      • This ties them as the evolved Pokémon with the lowest base stat total.
  • Silcoon and Cascoon have exactly the same type, base stats, moveset, and body style, making them nearly identical.
  • Silcoon, along with Cascoon, can be seen without the limb protrusions on its body in the anime, Pokémon X and Y, and occasionally in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
    • However, James's Pokémon trivia cards showed that Silcoon and Cascoon indeed have those limbs.
  • Cascoon is the only Bug-type cocoon-based Pokémon whose Defense stat does not decrease upon evolution.
  • Cascoon is the only Pokémon found in a Friend Safari that is not its own type; it is found in the Poison-type Friend Safari even though Cascoon is pure Bug. However, it evolves into the Poison-type Dustox.

Origin[]

Cascoon is based on the chrysalis or cocoon stage of a butterfly or moth.
