Cascoon sits in the middle of its evolution line — stronger than Wurmple but not yet at full power. Most trainers push through to Dustox as fast as possible. Only weak to Fire, Flying, and Rock. Known as the Cocoon Pokemon.
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.
Cascoon makes its protective cocoon by wrapping its body entirely with a fine silk from its mouth. Once the silk goes around its body, it hardens. This Pokémon prepares for its evolution inside the cocoon.
If it is attacked, Cascoon remains motionless however badly it may be hurt. It does so because if it were to move, its body would be weak upon evolution. This Pokémon will also not forget the pain it endured.
Cascoon Weakness
AvgCascoon is weak to Fire, Flying, and Rock-type moves. Cascoon's physical bulk (base 55 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
From here, Cascoon's line branches into Silcoon and Cascoon. That's 2 possible evolutions, each with its own method. Defense has grown the most so far (+20), but there's still another 190 stats to gain in the final evolution.

Not a lot to pick from. Cascoon gets Bug Bite for same-type damage, and Electric and Poison coverage rounds things out. You're building around what's available rather than choosing from a deep bench.
