A Cocoon (まゆ) is an object which serves as a growth stage and generates an adult stage Tamagotchi. The Cocoon makes five appearances; the Tamagotchi Mothra, the Mori de Hakken! Tamagotch, the Evatchi and the games that feature the Mushitchi characters.

Mori de Hakken!! Tamagotch

Main article: Mayutchi

Mayutchi (マユっち) or simply Mayu (まゆ) is a character that debuted on the Mori de Hakken! Tamagotch, and is the sole character of the Cocoon Stage. In this phase, the only features that can be accessed are the sound, light, clock, flush and health meter. It cannot be cared for directly; the user must provide indirect care to enable Mayutchi to evolve into its next form.

Mayutchi evolves from Imotchi and will stay on screen for 24 hours. The user must keep it alive by adjusting the temperature; if it gets too hot or too cold, Mayutchi may die. When hatched from a white egg, Imotchi will evolve into one of four different Mayutchi varients, depending on what conditions are met. Each varient has two possible adult evolutions. Which one it evolves into depends on the temperature. A Mayutchi that evolved from an Imotchi that hatched from a spotted egg will always evolve into Kabutotchi.

Tamagotchi Mothra

The Cocoon first appeared on the Tamagotchi Mothra as a reference to the Mothra films. 2-3 days after Mothra Larva evolves into Mothra Grub or Batora Grub, it will evolve into a Cocoon, and it will remain in this form until the end of one hour, and then the Cocoon will evolve into an adult. This matches how in the films, Mothra hatches from her egg as a Mothra Grub, then goes into her cocoon before emerging into her adult form, although one of four possible adults will emerge from the Cocoon in the Mothra Tamagotchi which will depend on Mothra Grub or Batora Grub's Justice Meter and the quality of care given.

Evatchi

The last appearance of the cocoon stage thus far is on the Evatchi. An embryo will evolve into a cocoon after 24 hours, with their evolution partially predetermined based on the care it received similarly to on the Morino. After three hours, the evolution sequence will play and the cocoon will enter an incubation state. The A button can be pressed to evolve the cocoon into an Angel. Waiting longer periods of time will change what Angel will emerge.

In Video Games

Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi 2

The Cocoon's next appearance was in Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi 2. As with the Mothra Tamagotchi, it follows the teen stage and cannot be interacted with. When Chobitamatchi or Minotchi go into a cocoon, their evolutionary path will have been set and they will emerge as their adult form nine ingame hours later. The player cannot advance the clock while a Mushitchi is in its cocoon, forcing them to pass time by either taking care of a Sakanatchi or exploring the overworld.

Tamagotchi Town

Cocoons made their penultimate appearance in Tamagotchi Town. As with the second Game Boy game Mayutchi follows the teen stage, but most notably is that it is treated as a normal Tamagotchi - needing to be fed, pooping, its stress levels and migration affecting what adult it evolves into instead of Chobitamatchi or Minotchi's, unlike every other teen in the game.
