They say you can tell if your Wurmple will evolve into a Silcoon or Cascoon based on its behavior: if it stares blankly at most objects, eats any food without reservation, or sits on the side of a tree without moving for hours, it will definitely evolve into one of the two.

The protective covering around Silcoon is, in fact, silk! Every spring, gardeners harvest the discarded Silcoon husks left behind by evolution. The husks are dropped into boiling water, and can then be unraveled into long continuous threads.

It is theorized that Florge’s lack of a Grass-Typing was an evolutionary defense against Beautifly’s attacks. The two are bitter rivals, and fight day and night for control of a flower field.

Cascoon’s protective shell is more brittle than Silcoon’s, dissolving in boiling water. If somebody wants to sell you “Silcoon” husks, check the color. It is still possible to make fabric from a Cascoon husk, but much more difficult.

Dustox are skittish, using their natural camouflage to hide in trees as autumn leaves. This would be an effective strategy if they were not also known for eating all the foliage around them, making large bare areas over their hiding spots.
