Kakuna (Cocoon (コクーン Kokūn) in the original Japanese) is a Stage 1 bug-type Pokémon that evolves from Weedle at level 7 and further evolves into Beedrill at level 10. Kakuna is virtually motionless; it protects itself by means of its hard shell, and can also extend a poison stinger to defend itself against attackers.

Anime Appearances
Kakuna first appeared in the Pokémon Anime when Ash was going through Viridian Forest. Since then it has appeared every now and then as a cocoon that's literally just "hanging around". A running gag in the series is to have people bump into trees and then each stage of a Beedrill evolution to drop out (Weedle, then Kakuna), then the Beedrill attack them.
