As | Burmy is a small, larval {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a black segmented body and a coiled antenna on top of its head. As [[DP030|seen]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, it can uncoil the antenna on its head and wrap it around its opponent. It has a beak-like mouth and yellow eyes. Burmy has six stubby legs: the first two pairs are black, while the back pair is yellow. There are also two white spots on its cheeks. However, Burmy's legs and cheek spots are only visible on a Burmy without a cloak. | ||

===Forms=== | |||
Burmy has three forms: Plant Cloak, Sandy Cloak, and Trash Cloak. | |||
Burmy is normally covered by a cloak, with three known variants that consist of either twigs and leaves, sand and mud bound by its own silk, or dust and garbage resembling pink building insulation. It will not hesitate to collect nearby materials to construct a new cloak if the old one breaks or falls off. Even if it is born where there are no cocooning materials, it somehow always ends up with a cloak. The cloak protects it from the cold and will become thinner when the weather is hot. | |||

===Evolution=== | ===Form data=== | ||
Burmy has three separate forms. Burmy can change form freely, changing its cloak depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle (so [[Exp. Share]] alone will not change its form). When a Burmy evolves into {{p|Wormadam}}, it retains its cloak. | |||
Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic. Bred Burmy will have the same cloak as the mother, will be in the same cloak as a Burmy or Wormadam bred with {{p|Ditto}}, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a Ditto. | |||
If a Burmy last battled outside or in [[tall grass]], it changes into its Plant Cloak. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it will change into this form in [[Jubilife Village]] and the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]]. If female, Plant Cloak Burmy will evolve into Plant Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of leaves and twigs. | |||
If a Burmy last battled in a [[cave]] or on a [[beach]], it changes into its Sandy Cloak. In [[Generation IV]], it will also change into this form after battling in an area with a snow storm. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Burmy will change into this form after battling inside the [[Bell Tower]], the [[Burned Tower]], or [[Sprout Tower]], due to the towers all being internally classified as caves. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it will change into this form in the [[Crimson Mirelands]] or the [[Coronet Highlands]]. If female, Sandy Cloak Burmy will evolve into Sandy Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of sand and rocks. | |||
If a Burmy last battled in a building, it changes into its Trash Cloak. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it will change into this form in the [[Cobalt Coastlands]] and the [[Alabaster Icelands]]. If female, Trash Cloak Burmy will evolve into Trash Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}. | |||
