If you’re a burgeoning bug catcher and want to know about the Wurmple evolution stages, then we’ve got everything you need to know in this handy guide. This unassuming caterpillar-like critter has two evolutions, and it’s a pretty simple process to evolve both, but they have some pretty drastic differences. So, depending on what you’re after, or whether you just want both, we can talk you through how to do it so you can fill out your Pokédex.
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, poison Pokémon weakness, and electric Pokémon weakness in battle. For some extras, snap up the latest Pokémon Unite codes and Pokémon Go codes, too!
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.
As great as it would be to pick and choose your Wurmple evolution, unfortunately you’re at the mercy of RNG when you pop them into their prospective cocoons. 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.
To find a Wurmple in each game, grab your net and head to these locations:

How do I evolve Wurmple in Pokémon Go?
Pokémon Go evolutions are fairly simple, and Wurmple is no exception. This buggy ‘mon is evolved in much the same way as other Pokémon in Niantic’s hugely popular AR mobile game. It’ll set you back by 12 Wurmple candy to evolve this critter, but as we know, there is no guarantee what evolution you’ll get. Whether you end up with a Cascoon or a Silcoon, you’ll need an additional 50 Wurmple candies to evolve them into either a Dustox or Beautifly. Luckily, Wurmples aren’t too difficult to find, so you’ll be set to perform as many evolutions as you can afford.
Now you know how to evolve a Wurmple! But, if you’re just wanting to brush up on your ‘mon knowledge in general, you can check out our full Pokédex, too. 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 freebies from the best mobile games, including the latest DC Dark Legion codes, Tribe Nine codes, and Infinity Nikki codes.
