Which deck it belongs in
Works well in decks focused on protecting Weedle as it evolves into Kakuna before evolving further.
- •Effective defense
- •Common rarity makes it accessible
- •Limited attack options
- •Dependent on evolving from Weedle
Pair Kakuna with Fire-type Pokémon to maximize its defensive benefits, as Fire weakens its Grass weakness.
Kakuna's hard exoskeleton is crucial for its survival during the pupal stage.
Consider using Kakuna to protect your Weedle until it can evolve and gain more offensive power.
