Wormadam (Japanese: ミノマダム Minomadam) is a Bug-type Pokémon.
It evolves from female Burmy starting at level 20.
It has three different secondary types: Steel, Grass, and Ground, determined by the cloak that Burmy was in when it last battled. In its Plant Cloak, it is Bug/Grass, in its Sandy Cloak, it is Bug/Ground, and in its Trash Cloak it is Bug/Steel. Unlike Burmy, its cloak is permanent.

Trivia
- Wormadam is unique for the fact that it can be three different types permanently yet shares a Pokédex entry and name.
- Each of Wormadam's three forms shares a type with another Pokémon: the Plant Cloak is the same type combination as Paras and Parasect, the Sandy Cloak is the same type combination as Nincada, and the Trash Cloak is the same type combination as Forretress and Scizor.
- Wormadam in her Plant Cloak is the only Grass-type that can't learn Swords Dance.
- Wormadam was once the only non-legendary Pokémon with form differences that learns different moves depending on her form. This is no longer true, as the different forms of Rotom all learn at least one different move from the others.
- Wormadam with a Sandy Cloak is the only form of Wormadam that does not have a 4× weakness.
- Wormadam with a Plant Cloak is the only form of Wormadam that does not have an immunity.
- Despite being a Bug-type Pokémon, Wormadam could not learn any Bug-type attacks until Platinum.
- In its Sandy Cloak, Wormadam is the only Bug-type Pokémon capable of learning Fissure.
- Wormadam and Deoxys are the only Pokémon to have different EV yields depending on their form and are, as such, the only Pokémon with varying EV yields.
Origin
