Venomoth (Japanese: モルフォン, HepburnMorufon) (VENN-oh-moth[1]) is a Bug/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Venomoth is a purple moth Pokémon. The eyes of Venomoth are black and much smaller than its pre-evolved form. Venomoth has two white fangs protruding from its mouthpart. Venomoth has a head, thorax, and abdomen, unlike some other Bug Pokémon. The wings of Venomoth are larger than its body, with the top sections of its wings being much larger than the bottoms. Its shiny incarnation has a pale blue wing coloration on its head and upper body, whereas its lower body (abdomen) and legs are a light brown.

Natural abilities[]

Venomoth can have the ability Shield Dust or the ability Tinted Lens. Shield Dust negates all side effects of attacks. Tinted Lens increases non-effective moves by 1.5x. Venomoth's wings are covered with scales. The scales are poisonous and are released when Venomoth flaps its wings.

Evolution[]

Venomoth is the evolved form of Venonat as of level 31.

Trivia[]

  • In the manga, it states that Venomoth don't live long.
  • Many people believe that Butterfree and Venonat swapped evolution but it is not confirmed.

Origin[]

Venomoth is based on a moth and their nocturnal behaviors which are alluded to with its pre-evolution and how it is attracted to light. Its Poison-type may comes from a defense mechanism some moths have in which they contain toxins in their bodies. Venomoth also bears a striking resemblance to the kaiju Battra in its adult form.

Etymology[]

Venomoth comes from venom and moth.
