# Kakuna #002/185 — Vivid Voltage

## Summary

Kakuna is an uncommon middle stage, the cocoon nobody picks a favorite from, though Gen I Bug types keep a loyal nostalgic following. Naoyo Kimura is a long-serving Pokémon illustrator, and an uncommon slot like this was never a chase pull, so it mostly serves Beedrill lines and binder completists. A $0.09 modelled guide with 1 copy traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
