Description Have you ever had one of those moments where you simply think of a good pun, and then want to make a fakemon out of it?

I have.

In this case, it was Cocoonut that struck me, which also meant I had to make two other stages for it to make things work. However, as there hasn't been a Bug/Grass Pokemon yet which uses leaves as wings, this felt as an appropriate opportunity to make one. The progress of their color scheme did concern me a bit, and I'm still unsure if its antennae work as brown or if I should redraw them as something else, but I made the mistake of drawing it happy so now I feel unmotivated to change it. As for its battling strategy.... well, difficult to stay original with all these other moths and butterflies scattered about, but being the only Quiver Dancing of this typing oughta account for something, and it's plenty distanced from Leavanny, as the latter is more of a physical attacker who can set up Sticky Webs if so inclined.

Name origins: Canopy + Caterpillar, Cocoon + Coconut, Palmtree + Moth.

Notable moves: Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Leaf Storm, Leaf Blade, Bug Buzz, U-turn, Quiver Dance, Hurricane, Roost, Whirlwind, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, Rage Powder, Leech Seed

Notable Lack of Moves: Sticky Web

Don't be fooled - that Cocoonut is clearly dangerous. More people die from coconuts every year than sharks!

One of the rare times I have been impressed with a coconut based design.

 You say that Sticky Web is a notable move, while also listing it under the Notable Lack of Moves. And most of it's notable moves are Special, but it's Special Attack is only 81, compared to 87 for Attack! Why?

In the sentence I mentioned Sticky Web, I was explaining how to not make it too similar to Leavanny in terms of what they can accomplish. If I were to give this moth Sticky Web, I'd not only make it more powerful, but also removed one reason to use Leavanny.

As for the slightly smaller Sp Atk, I wanted to have this moth function well in both regards, such as dealing good damage with U-turn or bluff a physical set. Quiver Dance is still something it'll use 95% of the time though, and given this moth's bulk and access to STAB Giga Drain, it shouldn't be too difficult getting two boosts if played well.

So yeah, let's not make stuff more powerful than they need to be.

 About the only viable reason I can think to not give this guy the same SpA or more as the Atk is because of Hurricane. That always hurts in Rotation Battles. I'm surprised I keep forgetting that.

Cocoonut's face reminds me of Wilson the Volleyball for some reason.

WILSOOOOON

Supposedly, coconuts can travel quite the distance at sea and then plant themselves at a different beach, so this is quite the similar scenario.

There have been worse grounds to make Pokemons.

WAAAAY worse grounds.




Hey remember when they made a Pokemon out of a bundle of keys?
