Character info
The character
Kakuna is the cocoon-stage evolution of Weedle, known in the Pokémon series as a mostly stationary Bug and Poison type that evolves into Beedrill. It spends most of its time hanging from tree branches, hiding among leaves while its body hardens, as it waits for evolution. It is known for having very limited movement and relying on remaining undetected to survive.
