Silcoon (Japanese: カラサリス Karasalis) is a Bug-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Wurmple depending on its personality value, starting at level 7, and it evolves into Beautifly starting at level 10.
Biology
Physiology
Silcoon is a cocoon-like Pokémon with limbs which it uses to attach itself to tree branches. There is a small hole in its cocoon that it can see through with its two red eyes with a fringe over each eye. It is very similar to Cascoon.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Silcoon has a hard cocoon that can repel enemy attacks.
Behavior
Silcoon, being merely a cocoon, cannot do much more than quietly hang from a tree branch using String Shot, waiting for the right conditions for evolution. It hardens frequently.
Habitat
Silcoon prefer to live in dark forests. They prefer to hide and can be rare to find.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Silcoon nourishes itself by drinking dew and rainwater that gets collected on its silk. It also uses the energy it stored as a Wurmple to survive. It's also been found on Honey trees. It is unknown if it is eating the honey or if it evolved on the tree while it was eating it as a Wurmple.
In the anime
Major appearances
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 evolved into May's Beautifly and Cascoon evolved into Jessie's Dustox.
