Dustox evolution

Pokémon GO has no evolution levels: a Pokémon evolves when you spend Candy on it (sometimes with an item or a task), at any level.

Dustox evolves from Cascoon for 50 Wurmple Candy.

Dustox is the last stage of its family: it does not evolve further.

Family: Wurmple · Cascoon · Dustox
