* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Frosmoth and its {{p|Snom|pre-evolution}}.

Frosmoth appears to be based on members of the {{wp|Gynaephora}} genus of alpine or Arctic moths. One particular species, the {{wp|arctic woolly bear moth}}, can enter a dormant state that allows it to endure temperatures as low as {{tt|-158 degrees Fahrenheit|-70 degrees Celsius}}.

Considering its large size and green-hued Shiny palette, it may also be inspired by the {{wp|Saturniinae|giant silk moths}}, specially the nocturnal {{wp|Luna moth|Luna}} and {{wp|Indian moon moth|Moon moth}}s. This may be further supported by the fact that its wings have elongated tails and resemble translucent white {{wp|silk}} fabric. Frosmoth may also draw some inspiration from fluffy {{wp|flannel moths}}.

Frosmoth may be a combination of ''frost'', ''osmosis'' and ''moth''.

Mosunō may be a combination of ''moth'' and ''snow''.

|ja=モスノウ ''Mosunō''|jameaning=From ''moth'' and ''snow''
