Read more ↓Pineco, the Bagworm Pokémon, is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, hailing from the Johto region. It is known for its peculiar habit of attaching itself to tree branches and camouflaging itself as a pinecone, patiently waiting for prey. Pineco's diet primarily consists of tree sap and small insects, which it ambushes by dropping from its perch. Its behavior is largely sedentary, focused on defense and camouflage, making it a rather unassuming creature in the wild. Pineco evolves into Forretress when it reaches Level 31, transforming its outer shell into a more formidable, cannon-like structure. As a Bug-type, Pineco is weak to Fire, Flying, and Rock-type attacks, while being resistant to Grass, Fighting, and Ground-type moves. In the games, Pineco is often encountered in forested areas, and its evolution, Forretress, is a popular choice for its defensive capabilities and access to moves like Spikes. In the anime, Pineco has made appearances, highlighting its unique camouflage and evolution. Culturally, Pineco often symbolizes patience and the cleverness of nature's defenses, despite its seemingly simple design. Its introduction in Generation II expanded the world of Pokémon with more diverse insect-like creatures, adding to the ecosystem of the Johto region.
