Larvesta (Japanese: メラルバ Merlarva) is a dual-type Bug/Fire Pokémon.

It evolves into Volcarona starting at level 59.

Biology

Larvesta "flying" using the fire that spits out from its horns

Larvesta is a fuzzy, moth larva-like Pokémon. It has blue eyes in a shadowed face. Its white mane of fuzz encompasses its head and the upper half of its body, while its lower half is brown. It has three pairs of small black legs. There are five orange, slightly whorled horns on the sides of its head, which it can use to spit fire as a defensive tactic to deter predators. It has been seen using fire it spits from these horns to fly. It lives at the feet of volcanoes.

Trivia

  • Out of all Pokémon that evolve by a set level, Larvesta evolves later than any other unevolved Pokémon, at level 59.
  • No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Larvesta and its evolution.
  • For reasons unknown, Larvesta and Volcarona cannot learn Attract, despite having genders and being compatible with other TMs. They share this trait with Nincada, Ferroseed, and Ferrothorn.
  • Larvesta, along with its evolution, are the only known Pokémon with a double weakness to the Rock-type that are not Flying-types.
    • This makes it the Pokémon that can naturally take the most damage from entry hazards, taking maximum damage from Stealth Rock and being affected by Spikes.

Origin

Larvesta is based on a moth and the famed Japanese monument, the Tower of the Sun. Larvesta appears to be based on an Atlas moth larva. The way its red growths are shaped and positioned on its circular body may be a reference to the sun, or to the Daimonji. It may also be based on a torch.

Name origin

Larvesta is a combination of larva and Vesta (Roman goddess of the hearth and home, symbolised and represented by an eternally-burning fire located in her temple). It may also involve lava.

Merlarva may be a combination of めらめら meramera (onomatopoeia for flaring) and larva.
