Wormadam (Japanese: ミノマダム Minomadam) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from a female Burmy starting at level 20. It is one of Burmy's final forms, the other being Mothim.

It has one of three different secondary types: Steel, Grass, or Ground, determined by its cloak. Its cloak is permanent and determined by the cloak that Burmy was in when it evolved.

  • In its Plant Cloak, it is dual-type Bug/Grass.
  • In its Sandy Cloak, it is dual-type Bug/Ground.
  • In its Trash Cloak, it is dual-type Bug/Steel.

Biology

Wormadam is a black, bagworm-like Pokémon with a coat of plants, sand, or garbage, the last of which resembles building insulation. It has oval eyes, a long pointed beak, and a long antenna with a coiled tip. The beak is tipped with varying colors depending on the coat. The coat forms a pair of arm-like structures near this Pokémon's head. It is a female-only species, with Mothim as its male counterpart.

Forms

Wormadam has three separate forms: Plant Cloak, Sandy Cloak, and Trash Cloak.

The Plant Cloak form has several white flowers covering it and gives Wormadam a green-tipped beak and large leaves for arms. It will be dotted with reddish-brown rocks, and have chains of pebbles for arms and a brown tipped beak if it has the Sandy Cloak. When covered by the Trash Cloak, it has a pink-tipped beak and long, dark pink ribbons for arms. Wormadam that evolve on cold days are said to form thicker cloaks.

Unlike Burmy, Wormadam's cloak is a part of its body, with the fusion being suspected to have been caused by the energy generated by its evolution. Its cloak acts similar to fur and skin and never sheds. Sandy Cloak Wormadam's cloak is an effective defense, capable of repelling a Starly's pecking with ease, whereas Trash Cloak Wormadam uses its cloak as camouflage, as it helps it hide from predators.

Plant Cloak
Legends: Arceus The cloak—fashioned from plant matter—has merged with the Pokémon and is now part of the body, like fur or skin. I suspect this fusion is an effect of the energy involved in evolution.
Sandy Cloak
Legends: Arceus Its earthen skin is reasonably hard—it has no problem repelling a Starly's pecking, at least.
Trash Cloak
Legends: Arceus Its body, composed of refuse, blends in to the scenery so much as to be inconspicuous. This seems to be the perfect way for the Pokémon to evade the detection of predators.

Trivia

 
Sandy Cloak Wormadam using Leaf Storm in Black and White

Origin

Wormadam appears to be based on an adult female bagworm moth, which never develops wings and remains in its cocoon lifelong. The Trash Cloak form specifically appears to be made of fiberglass insulation, a wool-like padding that is often dyed pink. The idea of a cloak made from household materials may be inspired by household casebearer moths, whose larvae exhibit the same cloaking behaviour as bagworms, and make cloaks from dust, hair, and dirt they scavenge from homes.

Name origin

Wormadam may be a combination of bagworm and madam.

Minomadam may be a combination of 蓑虫 minomushi (bagworm) and madam.
