In-Depth Analysis
Cascoon's 205 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Defense (55) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 15 means careful positioning matters.
Its Bug typing leaves Cascoon with 3 weaknesses against 3 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 3 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Cascoon in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
