There are five red, slightly whorled horns on the sides of its head.
Larvesta is a fuzzy, moth larva-like Pokémon. It has blue eyes in a shadowed face. Its white mane of fuzz encompasses its head and the upper half of its body, while its lower half is brown. It has three pairs of small black legs. There are five orange, slightly whorled horns on the sides of its head, which it can use to spit fire as a defensive tactic to deter predators. It has been seen using fire it spits from these horns to fly. It lives at the feet of volcanoes.


==In the anime==
Larvesta can shoot fire from its five horns as a defensive tactic to intimidate predators or to scare prey. [[BW041|It has been seen]] using the fire that it shoots from these horns to fly. Larvesta's flames can reach up to almost {{tt|5,500 degrees Fahrenheit|3,000 degrees Celsius}} in temperature. The horns' flames can cut through even sheets of iron. It lives at the feet of volcanoes, though people of ancient times once believed that Larvesta nested on and fell from the sun; some people still say that it was born from the sun. In ancient times, it was known as the '' Larva That Stole the Sun'' and ''emissary of the sun''. Despite this, Larvesta is considered a burden due to it causing constant forest fires. When it evolves into {{p|Volcarona}}, its body becomes enveloped in flames, akin to a cocoon.  
===Major appearances===

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Out of all Pokémon that evolve by a set level, Larvesta evolves later than any other unevolved Pokémon, at level 59.
* Out of all unevolved Pokémon that evolve by a set level, Larvesta evolves starting at the highest level, at level 59.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Larvesta and its {{p|Volcarona|evolution}}.
* Larvesta is the only {{type|Fire}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with an insectoid body}}.
* For an unknown reason, Larvesta and Volcarona cannot learn {{m|Attract}} in [[Generation V]], despite having genders and being compatible with other [[TM]]s. They share this trait with {{p|Nincada}}, {{p|Ferroseed}}, and {{p|Ferrothorn}}.
* Larvesta is the first {{Shiny}} Pokémon seen evolving in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Larvesta and Volcarona are the only known Pokémon with a double weakness to the {{t|Rock}} type that are not {{t|Flying}} types.  
* Larvesta's eyelids have been portrayed inconsistently throughout the series. In the anime, Larvesta's eyelids have a circular outline where their eye would be, something that is not present in any games. Mainline Pokémon games show Larvesta with black eyelids, while their portrait in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] instead features white eyelids.
** This makes it the Pokémon that can naturally take the most damage from [[entry hazard|entry hazards]], taking maximum damage from {{m|Stealth Rock}} and being affected by {{m|Spikes}}.
* Discounting forms, Larvesta and {{p|Volcarona|its evolution}} were the last [[Generation V]] Pokémon to debut in {{g|GO}}, debuting on May 2, 2023.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Larvesta was able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}} at level 24.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Larvesta is based on a {{wp|moth}} and the famed Japanese monument, the {{wp|Tower of the Sun}}. Larvesta appears to be based on an {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} larva. The way its red growths are shaped and positioned on its circular body may be a reference to the sun, or to the ''Daimonji''. It may also be based on a {{wp|torch}}.
Larvesta is based on a {{wp|moth}} {{wp|larva}}<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> — likely the larvae of the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} or the {{wp|Halysidota harrisii|Sycamore Tussock moth}}. Its appearance, especially the red growths around its body, also references the {{wp|Tower of the Sun}}, a famed Japanese monument.<ref name=ND204 /> The red growths may also reference sun rays or the ''{{wp|Gozan no Okuribi|Daimonji}}'', while its overall body shape may also be based on a {{wp|torch}} or cigar.
