Trivia
- Scatterbug is the first Pokémon with a cocoon evolution not to increase in size when it evolves.
- There are minor enemy creatures in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes known as Scatterbugs, though these predate the Pokémon, and the Pokémon itself likely wasn't named after these enemies.
Origin
Scatterbug is based on a tapestry moth caterpillar.
Etymology
Scatterbug comes from scatter, caterpillar, and bug.
