Read more ↓Kakuna is the Cocoon Pokémon, a Bug/Poison type introduced in Generation I. It is the evolved form of Weedle and evolves into Beedrill. Kakuna is known for its immobility during its pupal stage, where it hardens its shell to protect itself while undergoing metamorphosis. In the wild, Kakuna are typically found in forests and wooded areas, often clinging to trees. They are largely sedentary, focusing their energy on evolving rather than foraging. While they don't actively hunt, their hardened shell provides a formidable defense against predators. Kakuna plays a vital role in the Pokémon world as a transitional stage, symbolizing growth and transformation. In the games, it's often encountered early on, allowing players to experience the evolution process. In the anime, Ash's capture of a Weedle and its subsequent evolution into Kakuna (and then Beedrill) highlighted its protective nature and the challenges of early Pokémon training. Kakuna, despite its seemingly passive nature, is a foundational Pokémon in the Kanto region's ecosystem and a recognizable symbol of evolution.
