Kakuna is a cocoon Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation Pokémon games. It is the middle form of Weedle's evolutionary line and evolves into Beedrill. Kakuna also acts as a foil to Metapod.

Information[edit]

At Level 7, Weedle can evolve into Kakuna, which is the cocoon phase of this evolutionary line. It is nearly incapable of moving, which leads other to assume it is dead. However, it is actually forming a body instead. It can only move minimally, and its main actions are hardening its shell to protect itself from predators and sticking out its stinger to poison an enemy when endangered. Kakuna often hide themselves under leaves and in the nooks of branches, becoming immobile as it clings to trees.

As it approaches evolution, Kakuna's body softens while its exterior shell hardens. Its shell also becomes hotter as the time approaches. At Level 10, Kakuna finally evolves into its final form, Beedrill.
