Only Evolves from Cascoon

Wurmple can evolve into either Silcoon, which evolves into Beautifly, or Cascoon, which evolves into Dustox, by random chance based on hidden values which cannot be seen in-game. As Dustox only evolves from Cascoon, not Silcoon, it's up to chance whether a Wurmple will eventually evolve into a Beautifly or a Dustox.
