Kakuna (Japanese : コクーン Cocoon ) is a dual-type Bug /Poison Pokémon.
It evolves from Weedle starting at level 7 and evolves into Beedrill starting at level 10.
Biology Kakuna is a yellow, cocoon Pokémon. Kakuna has a dome-shaped head and black, triangular eyes. It has two scythe-like arms in the middle of its body. When it comes close to evolving, its body gives off heat that makes it warm to the touch. Kakuna remains virtually immobile and waits for evolution often hanging from tree branches by long strands of silk. When attacked, however, it can extend its poison barbs.

Sprites
Trivia Kakuna's arms extended in Ken Sugimori artwork Kakuna shares its category name with Metapod , Silcoon , and Cascoon . They are all known as the Cocoon Pokémon.
They also share the same base stat total, learnset, Ability, and EV yield.
This ties them as the evolved Pokémon with the lowest base stat total.
In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta , "Kokoon" was the prototype English name for Kakuna. This is the same as its romanized Japanese name.
The "arms" on Kakuna seen in its Red and Blue sprite are commonly mistaken to be a sprite error, as they are rarely shown in any other media. They have so far only been shown on its Red and Blue sprite and a Pocket Monsters Bandai card. Origin Its design appears to be based on the pupa stage of a bee (more specifically, the common honeybee pupa).
Name origin Kakuna is a corruption of cocoon
