Burmy(JP) is a Bug type Pokémon introduced in the fourth generation. It has three different forms; a plant form, a ground form, and a trash form. It evolves into Wormadam at level 20 when female and if male Burmy evolves into Mothim.

Physiology and Behavior[]

Burmy (No Cloak)

Burmy without Cloak

Burmy is a small, larval Pokémon with a black segmented body and a coiled antenna on top of its head. It has a beak-like mouth and yellow eyes. Burmy has six stubby legs: the first two pairs are black, while the back pair is yellow. There are also two white spots on its cheeks. However, Burmy's legs and cheek spots are only visible on a Burmy without a cloak.

Burmy is normally covered by a cloak, with three known variants that consist of either twigs and leaves, sand and mud bound by its own silk, or dust and garbage resembling pink building insulation. It will not hesitate to collect nearby materials to construct a new cloak if the old one breaks or falls off. Even if it is born where there are no cocooning materials, it somehow always ends up with a cloak. The cloak protects it from the cold and will become thinner when the weather is hot.

As seen in the anime, it can uncoil the antenna on its head and wrap it around its opponent. Remoraid is a natural predator of Burmy.
