Trivia
- Although Venomoth clearly flies, it is not part Template:Type2 nor does it have the ability Levitate therefore making it susceptible to Template:Type2 moves. It shares this trait with Beedrill and Dustox. Coincidentally, all three of these are Bug/Poison dual-type Pokémon.
- In early official art of Venomoth, it was shown having yellow spots on the back of its wings. This was removed when later official artwork was released.
- Venomoth shares the same species name with Dustox. They are both known as Poison Moth Pokémon.
Origin
Venomoth's ability to poison its enemies and its typing suggests that it may have been based on a moth in the Arctiidae family. Its Japanese name may mean it may also have been influenced by the Morphinae subfamily of butterflies; its wings' design seems to be heavily influenced by Morphinads.
Name origin
Venomoth's name is likely a combination of venom and moth. Its Japanese name may come from the butterfly subfamily, Morphinae.
