Stats & Training
Defense and HP carry most of Cascoon's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 2 Defense EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Its body, which is made of soft silk, hardens over time. When cracks appear, evolution is near.
It never forgets any attack it endured while in the cocoon. After evolution, it seeks payback.
Cascoon Weakness
Cascoon is weak to Fire, Flying, and Rock. Cascoon's physical bulk (base 55 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |

| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Flying, Rock |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Grass, Fighting, Ground |
