Cascoon Evolutions
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. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Cascoon to get Wurmple eggs easily using 77 partners from the Bug egg group.
USUM Cascoon Best Moveset
Cocoon stage with AbilityShed Skin healing status over time. 35 Attack and 25 Sp. Atk behind no useful moves. The moveset does nothing the format recognizes. Dustox one evolution away adds Bug/Poison typing and 90 Sp. Def but lacks the offenses to compete.

Utility Moveset
- Iron Defense
- Electroweb
- Harden
- Bug Bite
Moves List
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.
