Wormadam (Japanese: ミノマダム Minomadam) is a Bug-type Pokémon.

It has three different sub-types: Steel, Grass, and Ground, determined by where the Burmy it evolved from last battled. It is Grass if it last battled outside, Ground if it last battled in a cave, and Steel if it last battled in a building. Once a Burmy evolves into Wormadam, it cannot change types.

Biology

Physiology

The coat of leaves/sand/pink building insulator has now fused with Wormadam's body on a sub-molecular level. Wormadam's eyes have changed from yellow to white. Wormadam's beak is longer and is tipped with either green, brown or pink. Wormadam has a pair of arms that are either made from leaves, chains of brown pebbles or pink ribbons.

Gender differences

Wormadam is female only. For the male counterpart see Mothim.
