'''Silcoon''' is a cocooned insect Pokémon that was introduced in the third generation games. It is the middle form in one branch of [[Wurmple]]'s evolutionary line and evolved into [[Beautifly]]. Its counterpart on the other branch of the evolutionary line is [[Cascoon]].

=Information=

Wurmple at Level 7 into either Silcoon or Cascoon seemingly at random (although it is actually dependent on personality values). Silcoon tethers itself to a tree branch using its silk to prevent it from falling and it tries to hang quietly while awaiting its next evolution. It can peer out of its cocoon through a small hole. Silcoon was originally believed to endure hunger without consuming anything while awaiting evolution, but it was later discovered that Silcoon survives off of rainwater which collects on its silk. Silcoon's hard cocoon repels attacks, and it moves as little as possible to preserve the energy left over from its time as a Wurmple.

Silcoon evolves into Beautifly at Level 10.

=Other Appearances=

==Other Media==

*In the Pokémon anime, [[May]]'s Wurmple evolved as a Silcoon around the same time that Jessie's Wurmple evolved into a Cascoon (although she initially believed it was also a Silcoon). It remained as Silcoon for just a few episodes before evolving into Beautifly.
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Silcoon made only a brief appearance in one of the first chapters of the ''Ruby''/''Sapphire'' arc when [[Professor Birch]] witnessed a Wurmple evolving into one and was surprised due to being under the impression that Cascoon was its only evolved form.

=Trivia=

*Its name is a combination of "silk" and "cocoon".
