Silcoon

Silcoon (Japanese: カラサリス Karasarisu) is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Physiology
Silcoon is a small, ovular, fuzzy pupal Pokémon wrapped in soft silky fibers. The silk covering its ovular body is pure white, and it has spikes protruding from every side. It has two round red eyes protruding from beneath the mass of fluffy silk on its face.

Behavior
Because it is in a pupal form, encased in a silky chrysalis, Silcoon barely moves. It tethers itself to tree branches to keep from falling and silently waits for its evolution into Beautifly.

Evolution
Silcoon is one of the two evolved forms of Wurmple and the pre-evolved form of Beautifly. It evolves from Wurmple at level 7 and evolves into Beautifly at level 10.

In the anime
May's Beautifly used to be a Silcoon. Silcoon helped May in the episode Mudkip Mission when it used its String Shot to climb a cliff.

Origin
Silcoon is based on a chrysalis (as it evolves into Beautifly, a butterfly-based Pokémon).

Etymology
Silcoon's name is derived from the words "silk" and "cocoon" (despite the fact that moths form cocoons, and butterflies form chrysalises).
