Kakuna

Kakuna takes super-effective damage from Fire, Flying, Psychic, Rock moves — every one of those types is a check you need an answer for when drafting. Before locking Kakuna into a team, check the weakness guide and count how many of those types your remaining five slots can answer.

Kakuna is a bug/poison-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 205 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 35) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Shed Skin ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Kakuna. Build around what Kakuna actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot. Compare this profile against your roster's shared weaknesses in the MetaMons team builder, where the 18-type coverage heatmap reads the whole team, not one slot.
