Wormadam (Japanese: ミノマダム Minomadam) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves from a female Burmy starting at level 20. It is one of Burmy's final forms, the other being Mothim.
It has one of three different secondary types: Steel, Grass, or Ground, determined by its cloak. Its cloak is permanent and determined by the cloak that Burmy was in when it evolved.
- In its Plant Cloak, it is Bug/Grass-type.
- In its Sandy Cloak, it is Bug/Ground-type.
- In its Trash Cloak, it is Bug/Steel-type.
Biology
Wormadam is a black, bagworm-like Pokémon with a coat of leaves, sand, or building insulation that has fused with its body. It has oval eyes, a long pointed beak, and a long antenna with a coiled tip. The beak is tipped with varying colors depending on the coat. The coat forms a pair of arm-like structures near this Pokémon's head. The Plant Cloak form has several white flowers covering it and gives Wormadam a green-tipped beak and large leaves for arms. It will be dotted with reddish-brown rocks, and have chains of pebbles for arms and a brown tipped beak if it has the Sandy Cloak. When covered by the Trash Cloak, it has a pink-tipped beak and long, dark pink ribbons for arms. Wormadam that evolve on cold days are said to form thicker cloaks. It is a female-only species, with Mothim as its male counterpart.
In the anime
Major appearances
All three forms of Wormadam debuted in Some Enchanted Sweetening!, under the ownership of Cheryl. She sent them out to show Ash and his friends that she had not been successful in finding a male Burmy to evolve into a Mothim. She then had her Wormadam cheer for Burmy while he battled to gain experience.
In Another One Gabites the Dust!, Ursula used a Sandy Cloak Wormadam in the Performance Stage of the Chocovine Contest. Its performance allowed Ursula to move on to the Contest Battles.
Minor appearances
Multiple Plant Cloak Wormadam appeared in The Rise of Darkrai.
A Plant Cloak Wormadam appeared in Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!.
A Plant Cloak Wormadam appeared in Bonnie for the Defense!.
In Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, all three forms of Wormadam were living at the Nebel Plateau.
