Read more ↓Mothim is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV as part of the Sinnoh region. It is the male evolution of Burmy, distinguishing itself from its female counterpart, Wormadam, through its distinct appearance and typing. Mothim is known for its graceful flight and its habit of seeking out sweet nectar. In the wild, Mothim can often be found near flower fields and forests, flitting from bloom to bloom. Its diet primarily consists of the honey it steals from Combee hives, a behavior highlighted in its Pokédex entries. Mothim's design, resembling a large, elegant moth, reflects its nocturnal nature and aerial prowess. While not a central figure in the Pokémon anime, it has made appearances, often showcasing its flying abilities in battles. In the games, Mothim serves as a decent early-game Bug-type option, offering a unique evolutionary path dependent on Burmy's gender. Its Bug/Flying typing gives it both advantages and disadvantages in battle, being particularly vulnerable to Rock-type attacks.
