Trivia
- Pheromosa can be seen as a counterpart to Buzzwole. Both are Bug/Fighting-types, but while Buzzwole is exclusive to Sun and masculine-looking, Pheromosa is exclusive to Moon and feminine-looking.
- Pheromosa bears a close resemblance to Lusamine, especially in its shiny form.
- It is unknown why Pheromosa can learn Roost, a move used often by Flying or levitating Pokémon.
Origin
Pheromosa is most likely based on an insect, specifically a cockroach. It is ironic that this Pokemon is based on a cockroach because they are usually regarded as dirty, ugly insects while Pheromosa is slender, beautiful, and hates anything unclean. It may also be based on a newly-molted roach nymph, which is white in color.
Etymology
Pheromosa may incorporate "pheromone", "mimosa", a silky tree plant, and the suffix "-a" which is used in Spanish to represent a female.
