Burmy and its ilk

[DrampardonMe]

Feeling oddly nostalgic for Pearl Version right now, so I thought I'd ask: What do you guys think of Burmy and its evolutions? Or, do they even cross your mind at all?

I used to have a Sandy Cloak Wormadam (it's my favorite) named Ethel. She had Hidden Power (fighting), which I thought was cool even if Wormadam in general have better things to do, lol. I simply had fun having it beat up everything in Snowpoint Temple after I beat the game. I think its other moves were Rock Blast and Earthquake, also Protect? Not like Wormadam can do much else!

I don't have anything against the others (and heck, Mothim's shiny is pretty neat), but I can see how other fans might be all "ANOTHER Bug/Flying?!" about Mothim and be less than impressed with Wormadam. I wish they'd all get stat tweaks, at least, but who knows if they'll ever do that again (they only time they did that for any Pokemon was... Sun and Moon, I think? Power creep sure is rough!)

Anyway, send some fond memories my way! Or... not-so-fond! Whatever you think of these bugs!

don't think I've ever used a Burmy or either of the evos, but I think it's a cool gimmick, and I really like how Wormadam has a perma form. Unfortunately it shares types with other Pokémon I prefer to use in Sinnoh (Torterra/Grass, Gastrodon/Ground, Bronzong/Steel), and I don't think it has very good stats? So it never gets into the squad. But like I said, big fan of the gimmick at least!

^Yeah, their respective stats are a letdown even in-game, and like you said, getting one to work would be more difficult than just having something on your team that does her job better. But yeah, the gimmick IS cool, haha.

On Pokemon Go, I have a shiny Wormadam trash cloak. I caught her when she was a Burmy
