Wurmple's evolutions are easy enough to get, though you may find that you get the same one more than once before getting the second. Luckily for you, we're here to break everything down, so you can learn all there is to know about Wurmple's two evolutions across Pokémon Go, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus.
If you need a hand with some other buggy Pokémon plans, here's our guide to Applin evolutions and how you can combat bug Pokémon weakness. For some extras, snap up the latest Pokémon Unite codes and Pokémon Go codes, too!
Where can I catch Wurmple?
Before you can evolve Wurmple, you need to have one. Like many early-game bugs (Caterpie, Weedle, etc), Wurmple is incredibly common, being among the first creatures you encounter in any region they call home. To help make things even easier for you, we have all of their locations on Nintendo Switch below:
- Legends: Arceus -Obsidian Fieldlands: near Aspiration Hill, Floaro Gardens, Horseshoe Plains, The Heartwood, massive mass outbreaks
- Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - Routes 205, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 218, 221, 222, Eterna Forest, Floaroma Meadow, Fuego Ironworks, Grand Underground (Grassland Cave), Riverbank Cave, Still-Water Cavern, Sunlit Cavern, Valley Windworks (Honey Trees)
How do I evolve Wurmple?
Let's see how to evolve this little wormy guy into all of its possible evolutions. The two possible chains of evolution are as follows:
- Wurmple - Cascoon - Dustox
- Wurmple - Silcoon - Beautifly
Wurmple evolves into Silcoon or Cascoon starting at level seven, and then they evolve again at level ten into the butterfly Pokémon, Beautifly, or the moth Pokémon, Dustox.
We'd love to tell you that there's a fail-safe way to get the evolution you want, but unfortunately, once this little critter enters its cocoon stage, we have no way of knowing what's going to emerge from the other end. You're left mostly to the mercy of RNG, but luckily, catching and evolving Wurmples isn't that difficult, so if Beautifly is evading you, or Dustox is staying in the shadows, you can keep trying until you can fill your Pokédex with both.
The evolutions are completely random, whether you bag yourself a Cascoon or a Silcoon on the first evolutionary stage. It is, however, common knowledge that these outcomes rely heavily on the hidden personality value of your Wurmples. That's between the Wurmple itself and the game coding that creates them, so we are sadly not privy to that info. Once you hit level ten, though, you'll get either a Dustox from your Cascoon or a Beautifly from your Silcoon.

How do I evolve Wurmple in Pokémon Go?
To evolve Wurmple in Pokémon Go, you need to give it 12 candies. Then, to evolve either Silcoon or Cascoon, you need to give it 50 Wurmple candies. Getting the candy isn't too difficult, as Wurmple appears quite frequently.
Now you know how to evolve a Wurmple into Silcoon or Cascoon . If you're after even more of a helping hand, there are also some Pokémon Scarlet and Violet mystery codes that pop up from time to time, plus if you want something different, we have heaps of Roblox codes, including 99 Nights in the Forest codes,
