Wormadam (Japanese: ミノマダム Minomadam) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves from female Burmy starting at level 20.
It has three different secondary types: Steel, Grass, and Ground, determined by the cloak that Burmy was in when it last battled. In its Plant Cloak, it is Bug/Grass, in its Sandy Cloak, it is Bug/Ground, and in its Trash Cloak it is Bug/Steel. Unlike Burmy, its cloak is permanent.
Biology
Physiology
The coat of leaves/sand/building insulator has now fused with Wormadam's body on a sub-molecular level. Wormadam's eyes have changed from yellow to white. Wormadam's beak is longer and is tipped with either green, brown or pink. Its antenna is also longer, with the coil on a more elongated position. Wormadam has a pair of arms that are either made from leaves, chains of brown pebbles or pink ribbons.
Gender differences
Wormadam are the female of the species. For the male counterpart, see Mothim.
Special abilities
Wormadam's type is variable, depending on the kind of cloak it wears. Additionally, it is capable of learning a few Template:Type2 moves. In the anime, it is shown to be able to move around by floating in the air.
Behavior
Wormadam appear to swing like a pendulum, with the ball at the top of its antenna always staying in the exact same spot, even when hit with an attack, as if it was glued to that space. This may be due to its slightly Template:Type2 nature, learning many Psychic-type attacks naturally. However the antenna falls out of place when it faints. It is said that a Wormadam that evolves on a cold day will have a thicker cloak.

- Wormadam's Sandy Cloak is its only form that does not share a type combination with more than one Pokémon.

- In its Sandy Cloak, Wormadam is the only Bug-type Pokémon capable of learning Fissure.
- Wormadam and Deoxys are the only Pokémon to have different EV yields depending on their form and are, as such, the only Pokémon with varying EV yields.

- Wormadam Trash Cloak is the only one of Wormadam's formes not to have 105 in any stat.
- Instead, its defenses are evened out to 95 Defense and Special Defense.
- Wormadam and Mothim are the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 424.
- Wormadam's Sandy Cloak is the only one of its forms to not receive STAB from any of the moves it shares its second type with, in this case Ground-type.
