Burmy (Japanese: ミノムッチ Minomutchi) is a Bug-type Pokémon. It is available in Generation IV games. It changes its cloak based on the location where it last battled. It will be the plant cloak if it last battled outside, the sandy cloak if it last battled in a cave, and the trash cloak if it last battled in a building. In the wild it is always the plant cloak variation. Its cloak only affects what its second type will be if it evolves into Wormadam, otherwise it does not affect gameplay.
