Biology
When Pineco evolves into Forretress, the Pokémon develops a large spherical appearance, spines and external plates similar to an exoskeleton. Living in forests, Forretress can be found attached to tree trunks.
Design & origin
Pineco and Forretress are Pokémon based on bagworm moth larvae. Forretress's name is a combination of the words "fortress" and "turret".
