Defense and HP carry most of Cascoon's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 2 Defense EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The silk coating its body is thin but sufficiently strong. Cascoon’s silk has a luster and texture superior to that of Silcoon’s, and clothes made using Cascoon silk are regarded as top-notch.
Cascoon is weak to Fire, Flying, and Rock. Cascoon's physical bulk (base 55 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
