(Japanese: クルミル Kurumiru) is a Bug/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Kurumayu starting at level 20, which evolves into Hahakomori via happiness.

Biology

Physiology

Kurumiru is a caterpillar-like Pokémon, with a broad, apparently bitten leaf enfolding its head. Its large, spherical head is a pale shade of tan, with a rounded, vaguely curl-like feature higher up on it. Kurumiru's eyes are dark and circular, with a crescent-shaped, toothed orange snout, and the underside of its face and neck is white. The rest of Kurumiru's body is segmented and green, with three rows of stubby, spherical orange legs.

Special abilities

This Pokémon produces a thread-like substance from its mouth, which it uses to sew together gnawed up leaves to put together makeshift clothes. This is the reason it is called the "Sewing Pokémon".
