Trivia
- 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.
- Kakuna has the lowest base Attack of all Poison-type Pokémon.
Origin
Kakuna's design appears to be based on the pupa stage of a bee (more specifically, the common honeybee pupa) or wasp.
Kakuna's characteristic of dangling from a thread, as seen in the anime and some spin-off games, may be based on hanging parasitoid wasp cocoons.
Name origin
Kakuna is a corruption of cocoon.
Cocoon is literally cocoon.
