Pokemon Go Wurmple evolution: How to get Silcoon, Cascoon, Beautifly & Dustox
Niantic Wurmple has two different evolution paths in Pokemon Go, so here’s everything you need to know about evolving it into Silcoon and Cascoon, and then finally, Beautifly and Dustox.
While Wurmple may not be the most powerful Pokemon in Pokemon Go, it’s still a vital addition to your Pokedex — especially since it’s one of the few Pokemon that can evolve into two different final stages.
This Bug-type Pokemon can become either Beautifly or Dustox, although it’s not always obvious how to get them.
Luckily, we’ve got all the details you need right here for your Wurmple evolution needs.

Niantic How to evolve Wurmple into Silcoon or Cascoon in Pokemon Go
Wurmple can evolve into either Silcoon or Cascoon with just 12 Candy. Unfortunately, there’s no way to influence which one of these Wurmple evolves into, as it will be decided entirely at random.
This means you’ll just need to keep evolving Wurmple until you get the evolution you want. The good news for Go trainers, though, is that 12 Candy for an evolution isn’t all that much.
How to evolve Silcoon into Beautifly in Pokemon Go
If your Wurmple has evolved into Silcoon, this means it will become Beautifly in its final stage. You can complete this evolution process with 50 Candy.
There’s no way to change this outcome, so don’t waste your Candy if you want a Dustox instead.
How to evolve Cascoon into Dustox in Pokemon Go
If your Wurmple has evolved into a Cascoon, this means it will become Dustox in its final stage. You can complete this evolution process with 50 Candy.
Much like with Silcoon, there’s no way to evolve Cascoon into a Beautifly. Thus, don’t waste your Candy if you want a Beautifly instead.
Is there a Wurmple evolution trick in Pokemon Go?
Since Wurmple has the potential to evolve into one of two final evolutions, either Beautifly or Dustox, many trainers are left wondering what they can do to predict or influence the evolution they get.
Unfortunately, there’s no evolution trick to influence how Wurmple’s evolution process goes. You’ll simply have to keep evolving Wurmple to get the outcome you want.
Which Wurmple evolution is the best in Pokemon Go?
Niantic Dustox is a more Defense-heavy Pokemon, whereas Beautifly is more Attack-based. However, neither Wurmple evolution is particularly useful in Trainer Battles, Gyms, or Raids.
Dustox ranks higher than Beautifly in the Great League as of April 2024, where it has potential wins against Medicham, Scrafty, and Azumarill. But there are much better Bug and Poison-type Pokemon out there.
Can Wurmple be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
Niantic Wurmple does have a Shiny variant in Pokemon Go, so it makes sense that both Beautifly and Dustox can be Shiny as well.
Shiny Wurmple has a purple color instead of its natural orange. Silcoon and Cascoon turn orange and green, respectively. Lastly, Beautifly seems to go for a more muted yellow which is the same for Dustox.
Trainers have an increased chance of encountering Shiny Wurmple in the wild during the Bug Out event. This runs from Friday, April 12, 2024, at 10:00 AM until Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at 8:00 PM local time.
That’s all you need to know about evolving Wurmple, so good luck hunting and happy catching!
