Silcoon(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Bug-type Pokémon in the third generation games, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.. They evolve from a Wurmple and evolves into a Beautifly. It also has a split evolution counterpart with Cascoon determined by Wurmple's personality value.
Physiology and Behaviour
Silcoon is a cocoon-like Pokémon that uses silk to attach itself to tree branches. It is almost completely covered in white silk with only two small holes. A pair of red eyes can be seen through the holes, but they are partially hidden by a rough fringe of silk. The silk forms a hard cocoon that it can use to repel enemy attacks. Dew and rainwater collect on the silk, which provides Silcoon with nourishment.
Silcoon lives in forests, where it conserves energy by moving as little as possible. This energy, which it had gathered as a Wurmple, serves as fuel for its further evolution. Due to its cocoon, Silcoon cannot extend its limbs and can only move really slowly. However, its eyes allow it to be on the lookout for danger.
