Kakuna (Japanese: コクーン Cocoon) is a Bug/Poison-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Kakuna is a yellow, cone-shaped cocoon Pokémon. Kakuna has a dome-shaped head and black, triangular eyes. When a Kakuna comes close to evolving, its body gives off heat that makes it warm to the touch.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Kakuna is usually only able to harden its shell in order to defend itself. However, Kakuna is capable of moving its poisonous barb if a situation calls for it.
Behavior
Habitat
Kakuna nest in forests and misty wooded areas. Occasionally they will also nest at the mouths of tunnels and caves.
Diet

In the manga
Pokémon Special
