Welcome back, Trainers! We'll be taking a look at the Burmy family this time, so let's jump straight into it!
BURMY
|
|
ATTACK: 53 |
DEFENSE: 83 |
STAMINA: 80 |
MAX CP: 409 |
Burmy is the Caterpie-equivalent of this generation. With that in mind, we don't expect it to be found in Eggs. We do expect it to take 1KM to find a Candy when being walked as a Buddy.
Burmy, as well as Wormadam, has three different forms. Burmy and Wormadam are based off of bagworms, and their cloaks are made of different materials. The cloak is based off of its environment / surroundings. The Plant Cloak is shown here. To see the Sandy Cloak, click here. Click here to see the Trash Cloak.
Burmy also has another interesting mechanic. Similarly to Wurmple, it has two possible Evolutions. But instead of being random, Wormadam is female-only and Mothim is male-only. This is one of multiple gender-based Evolutions in this generation (not to mention others in even more future generations), so it will be interesting to see how Niantic implements this intriguing mechanic.
