Biology

Physiology

Silcoon is simply a cocoon-like Pokémon with spikes covering it. It has two red eyes. It is very similar to Cascoon.

Gender differences

Special abilities

Behavior

Silcoon, being merely a cocoon, cannot do much more than quietly hang from a tree branch, waiting for the right conditions for evolution. It hardens frequently.

Habitat

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Silcoon nourishes itself by drinking rainwater that gets collected on its silk.

In the anime

In A Corphish out of Water, May's Wurmple evolved into a Silcoon alongside Jessie's Wurmple which evolved into a Cascoon. Both promptly evolved into their current state in Seeing is Believing, where Silcoon and Cascoon evolved into Beautifly and Dustox, respectively.

Trivia

• Wurmple evolves into either Cascoon or Silcoon, based on its personality value. Thus, a given Wurmple's evolution is random.
• Silcoon shares the same species name with Metapod, Kakuna, and Cascoon. They are all known as Cocoon Pokémon.
• In Pokémon Platinum, Silcoon can learn Bug Bite by evolution from Wurmple, despite not having a visible mouth.

Origin

Silcoon is based on the chrysalis or cocoon stage of a butterfly or moth.

Name origin

Silcoon's name may be a combination of silk and cocoon. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 殻 kara, shell, and chrysalis.
