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 typically inhabits forests and wooded areas, often found clinging to trees, undergoing its metamorphosis. Its diet consists of nutrients absorbed during its Weedle stage, as it does not actively feed during this chrysalis phase. Behaviorally, Kakuna remains mostly immobile, though it can extend a sharp, poisonous barb if threatened, as a defensive measure. In the Pokémon games, Kakuna serves as an intermediate evolution, often encountered in early-game forests. In the anime, Ash's Caterpie briefly evolves into a Metapod, highlighting the common theme of early-game Bug Pokémon and their rapid evolution. Kakuna, along with its evolutionary line, represents the classic insect life cycle and is an iconic part of the original 151 Pokémon, holding a nostalgic place for many fans who started their Pokémon journey in the Kanto region. Its design, a simple yellow chrysalis with dark eyes, is immediately recognizable and signifies a stage of preparation and vulnerability before strength.
