Burmy is a Bug type Pokemon introduced in Generation IV. Burmy’s evolutions are gender dependent: female Burmy evolve into Wormadam and male Burmy evolve into Mothim, both starting at level 20. It changes its cloak based on the location where it last battled.

It will be the Plant Cloak if it last battled outside or in tall grass, or it is encountered on a Honey Tree. It will be the Sandy Cloak if it last battled in a cave, or on a beach. It will be the Trash Cloak if it last battled in a building. In the wild, it is always in its Plant Cloak. The cloak only affects the form of Wormadam it evolves into, otherwise having no effect on gameplay. Take a look below for 23 amazing and interesting facts about Burmy.
