Burmy (Japanese: ミノムッチ Minomutchi) is a Bug-type Pokémon. It is available in Generation IV games. It changes form based on the location where it last battled. It is green if it last battled outside, yellow if it last battled in a cave, and pink if it last battled in a building. In the wild it is green. Its color only affects what its second type will be if it evolves into Wormadam, otherwise it does not affect gameplay.
