'''Mothim''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガーメイル''' ''Gamale'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from male {{p|Burmy}} starting at [[level]] 20.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from a [[gender|male]] {{p|Burmy}} starting at [[level]] 20. It is one of Burmy's final forms, the other being {{p|Wormadam}}.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mothim is a {{wp|moth}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two pairs of wings, one pair larger than the other is. The wings are primarily tan with an orange, oval marking on each. The tips of the wings split into small, orange squares; there are three on the larger pair and two on the smaller pair. Mothim spreads steel-colored scales whenever it flaps its wings. Mothim's head has orange semi-circular eyes with gray, orange-tipped antennae running along the edges before extending and widening at the top. Its body is black with a patch of orange on the underside and a gray stripe down its back. It also has four gray legs and a small black tail that splits into two squares.
Mothim has four tan-colored wings, two large and two small, with orange circles adorning them. The wings split to three at the tip of the larger wings and splits in two at the tips of the smaller wings. Mothim has a black head, with two red and gray antennae above his head. Mothim's body is also black and his legs are gray. He also has a small black tail that splits into two. It doesn't matter what form Burmy was in before it evolved; Mothim will always look the same. They also will have a small gray stripe running down their back.
====Gender differences====
Mothim is a male-only species. For the female counterpart, see {{p|Wormadam}}.


====Special abilities====
Mothim is a nomadic, nocturnal Pokémon that always remains on the move, searching for flower [[honey]] and nectar. It has often been seen traveling in fields and mountains. Despite its diet, Mothim is never seen near any flower gardens. This is because, instead of gathering honey on its own, Mothim raids the hives of {{p|Combee}} for honey. It is a male-only species, with {{p|Wormadam}} as its female counterpart.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
Mothim evolves from [[Gender|male]] {{p|Burmy}} and is one of the final forms of the species, the other being {{p|Wormadam}}.


Mothim is a nomadic Pokémon that always remains on the move, searching for honey. It tends to steal honey that {{p|Combee}} has collected.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

===Form data===
Despite not having any [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]], Mothim technically has three forms based on the {{fd|Burmy|cloak}} of {{p|Burmy}} it evolves from, though this is only shown in its internal data.
However, a Mothim from {{g|GO}} will always be in the plant cloak form if evolved from a Burmy whilst still in GO. The Plant and Sandy Cloak forms of Mothim can still be obtained by transferring Burmy to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} first and then evolving there.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Though there are three Pokémon based on moths ({{p|Venomoth}} and {{p|Dustox}} are the other two), Mothim is the only one that is part {{t|Flying}}.
* Mothim and Wormadam are the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 424.
*As of [[Generation IV]], Mothim (along with {{p|Cherubi}}) is one of two Pokémon related to a Pokémon with [[form differences]] that does not have a form difference itself.
* Before [[Generation VIII]], the {{p|Burmy}} family had only been obtainable with their [[Hidden Ability]] in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Due to the closure of the [[Pokémon Global Link]], the Burmy family could no longer be obtained with their Hidden Ability, except by trading between games and {{pkmn|breeding}}. The Burmy family's Hidden Ability can currently be obtained via the [[Ability Patch]].
* {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, Mothim, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Golem}} are the only Pokémon in all five [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] sublistings.
 
===Origin===
===Origin===
Mothim is based on an adult {{wp|Bagworm Moth}}, which only fully mature if male.
While Mothim represents the adult stage of a {{wp|bagworm moth}}, which only fully matures if it is male, both its appearance and honey-thieving tendencies suggest that it may draw more inspiration from {{wp|death's-head hawkmoth}}s. It may also draw some inspiration from the {{wp|Pyraloidea}}, a superfamily of moths known for their nose-like palps.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Mothim's Japanese name is derived from 蛾 ''ga'', moth, and ''male''. Mothim comes from ''moth'' and ''him''.
Mothim may be a combination of ''{{wp|moth}}'' and ''him''.
 
Gamale may be a combination of 蛾 ''ga'' (moth) and ''male''.
