Trivia

  • Larvesta evolves later than any Bug-type Pokémon, evolving at level 59. In fact, it evolves later than any other Pokemon except Hydreigon and Dragapult (though Deino evolves into Zweilous and Dreepy evolves into Drakloak nine levels earlier than Larvesta).
  • No other Pokémon has same type matchup of Bug/Fire-type as Larvesta and its evolution Volcarona.
  • Despite its Pokédex entries saying it encases itself in a cocoon of fire when it evolves, it does not have an evolved form that is based on a cocoon.
    • Due to this, Larvesta is the only larva-like Pokémon that skips the cocoon stage.

Origin

Larvesta is based on a moth caterpillar. It may also draw inspiration from the Japanese kaiju Mothra.

Etymology

Larvesta's name comes from larvae and Vesta, a Roman goddess represented by fire.
