Trivia

  • Frosmoth and its pre-evolution, Snom, are the first and so-far only ice/bug-type Pokémon.
  • Frosmoth is the third known Pokémon to skip the pupal stage during its evolution. The first being Venomoth and the second being Volcarona.
    • Coincidentally, all 3 are dual type bug-type Pokémon who retain their typing throughout their evolution.
    • Coincidentally, all 3 are moth Pokémon.
    • Another way it is similar to Volcarona is that they are both opposite types (Volcarona is fire, Frosmoth is ice), and that they have similar stat distribution with the exception of speed.
  • Interestingly, Frosmoth's name is a combination of two words in its species name.

Origin

Frosmoth may be based of the Winter moth. It also shares some similarities to the adult stages of the Jewel Caterpillar, the animal its pre-evolution, Snom, is based on. It may also be based on the larvae of the Arctic Woolly Bear Moth, who can withstand cold temperatures. Its size and green Shiny coloration may make it based off of several species of silk moth. The fluff surrounding its neck resembles a large winter scarf.

Etymology

Frosmoth comes from frost and moth.

Its Japanese name, Mosuno, is pun on moth and snow.
