Trivia

• Larvesta evolves later than any Bug-type Pokémon, evolving at level 59.
• 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.
• Larvesta is the only Bug/Fire type besides its evolution Volcarona.

Origin

Larvesta is based on a moth caterpillar.

Etymology

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