Verdict

Collector's Pick
Cascoon is a Bug-type Pokemon with base stats of 60/77/137 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 626. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Cascoon may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Cascoon in Pokemon GO?
Cascoon has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Cascoon for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Cascoon's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Cascoon is weak to Fire, Flying, Rock-type moves. On the other hand, Cascoon resists Fighting, Grass, Ground-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Cascoon effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Cascoon's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Cascoon's maximum CP is 626 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 553 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Cascoon's CP is calculated from its base stats: 60 Attack, 77 Defense, and 137 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Cascoon caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 316 CP, or 395 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Cascoon?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Cascoon has the following CP at key levels: 237 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 316 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 395 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 626 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Cascoon, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Cascoon ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Cascoon in Pokemon GO?
Cascoon is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Wurmple with 12 Candy). Cascoon can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Cascoon be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Cascoon's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Cascoon availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
