Can someone upload a screen cap from [[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]] of the Burmy that Dawn tried to capture after all of it's leaves had fallen off from Piplup's Bubblebeam?  I think it'd be a good addition to the article.

== Pokémon Mystery Dungeon ==
What about these games?Does evolution is similiar to main series games, or different? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 18:12, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
== Trivia ==
The trivia mentions something about "sonw-cloak" and "water-cloak", however, I think that this information is rather some kind of speculation. Shouldn't it be removed? [[User:Teddi&#39;Ampha|Teddi&#39;Ampha]] 14:14, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:It's not speculating. It's just saying they don't exist, despite there being snowy and watery terrain. <sup>[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup>[[User:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">Jo the Marten</span>]]<sup>[[Flygon (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup> [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">ಠ_ಠ</span>]][[Cilan (anime)|<span style="color:#90C870;">♥</span>]] 14:41, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
== Brr, Bur and Burr ==
When you are cold, you might shiver and say "brr" then cover yourself up, just like Burmy covers itself. Besides, many Pokémon names consist of corruptions of words, so "brr" could still fit.
Even if its not that kind of "brr," than "bur" and "burr" should still be mentioned based on the definitions for the words bur and burr. Bur is a variant of burr, which both have a number of meanings, some of which could easily befit the concept of Burmy.

Its agreed that Wormadam is a mixture of worm and "Madam" a term used for addressing a woman, especially one of refinement (when not referring to a Madam that runs a brothel). What is the opposite of this? a peasant, someone who isn't refined and wears clothing of poor material. Also to speak with a burr is to speak roughly, indistinctly, or inarticulately. This would obviously not be the manner in which a more refined person of social status would speak. I guess the best way to look at this would be to imagine how the Queen of England speaks, and then imagine how someone with a cockney accent speaks. Burr is also a buzzing or whirling sound that, since Burmy is a bug-type and bugs can make buzzing or whirling sounds, this also fits.
Wormadam is like a member of high social standing. Burmy is not yet refined enough to be a madam, it is still just a rough around the edges Pokémon. Burmy is only a commoner that uses a cloak to try and look the part, but its cloak consists of a patch work of whatever materials it has lying about.

:I'm not too convinced by any of these suggestions, but for the record, in case it affects anyone else's judgment of the matter, none of these are in any way corroborated by the Pokédex except the "brr" to cover from the cold (Diamond and X entry: ''To shelter itself from cold, wintry winds, it covers itself with a cloak made of twigs and leaves'').

::Well like I said, most of the names are mix-match corruptions or words. You mix brr with worm you get burm. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 01:11, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
== Cloak after rare candy ==
If a female burmy  evolves from leveling it up to level 20 via rare candy , would it evolve into a wormadam with the cloak matching the area you used the rare candy on it, the cloak it was in prior to using rare candies on it , or something else? [[User:Boorider7|Boorider7]] ([[User talk:Boorider7|talk]]) 16:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
:Rare Candy doesn't change Burmy's form; only battling does. It will maintain the same form that it had prior to using Rare Candy. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:34, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
==Ultra Space cloak==
If you use Pokémon bank to transfer a burmy to sun and moon , and you use burmy in Ultra Space , what cloak will it change to? [[User:Boorider7|Boorider7]] ([[User talk:Boorider7|talk]]) 18:04, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
:That's a good question, but as it's not a native Pokemon (only accessible through the Pokemon bank) I imagine nothing special happens. It either stays in the cloak it previously was in, or I imagine it will go back to it's default state (Plant), just like it does after fighting in water. Would love to see it tested though. -[[User:Uncleben85|Uncleben85]] ([[User talk:Uncleben85|talk]]) 07:18, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
== "Wormy" Burmy ==
With Burmy's name origin being a little muddled ("brr" and "burr" being a little questionable), might there be some legitimacy to the word "wormy"? I know we already have "worm" there, but I don't mean "wormy" as in "worm-like", but instead either as in "infested with/home of a worm", since Burmy burrows into nearby materials and takes over to create a cloak, or as in "weak", since Burmy is the first in the evolution line and a weak Pokemon. Burmy also sounds a lot like "wormy". -[[User:Uncleben85|Uncleben85]] ([[User talk:Uncleben85|talk]]) 07:24, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
