« Wraps itself in thin strings of silk while it stores energy for evolution. It can't extend its limbs and its movement is slow, but its eyes keep a sharp lookout—Silcoon is always on guard. »

Its story
Lifestyle
Its hard shell repels attacks. Dew and rain feed it. In forests it barely moves: energy saved as a Wurmple prepares Beautifly.
In the anime
May's Wurmple becomes Silcoon as Jessie's becomes Cascoon, then Beautifly when the other becomes Dustox. Ash and Goh watch several evolve.
Name origin
Its white silk suggests a silkworm cocoon. Silcoon may combine “silk” and “cocoon.”
Did you know?
- The cocoon blocks its limbs, so it only creeps very slowly.
- Its eyes stay watchful and look out for danger.
- Japanese Karasalis may blend kara, “shell,” with “chrysalis.”
