Pineco (Japanese: クヌギダマ Kunugidama) is a Bug-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold

It likes to make its shell thicker by adding layers of tree bark. The additional weight doesn't bother it.

Pokémon Silver

It hangs and waits for flying insect prey to come near. It does not move about much on its own.

Pokémon Crystal

It spits out a fluid that it uses to glue tree bark to its body. The fluid hardens when it touches air.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Pineco hangs from a tree branch and patiently waits for prey to come along. If the Pokémon is disturbed while eating by someone shaking its tree, it drops down to the ground and explodes with no warning.

Pokémon Emerald

A Pineco hangs from a tree branch and waits for prey. While eating, if it is disturbed by someone shaking its tree, it falls on the ground and suddenly explodes.

Name origin

Pineco's name is an abbreviation of pine cone, reflecting its pine cone-like appearance.

However, this Pokémon appears to be a type of bagworm. Pineco also looks like a hand grenade.
