#014Kakuna
BUGPOISONCOMMONKakuna shows up in the level 10 hunt and averages 11 of loot and 68 XP per kill.
Is Kakuna worth hunting?
Among the 31 Pokémon in the level 10 hunt, Kakuna ranks 24th for loot per kill, 5% below the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
52% of all loot comes from a single item: Pot of Moss Bug. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Bee Sting (54 at the NPC), at 3.24% chance — on average one every 31 kills.
For XP it ranks 2 of 31 at this level — 68 per kill.
