Talk:Burmy (Pokémon)

No Form Burmy

Can someone upload a screen cap from Two Degrees of Separation! of the Burmy that Dawn tried to capture after all of it's leaves had fallen off from Piplup's Bubblebeam? I think it'd be a good addition to the article.

Evolution?

I couldn't find anything about when it evolves on here, or on Wormadam's page. Does it evolve at a certain level, or what? Would appreciate it if someone cleared it up, and posted it on.

You didn't look very hard...level 20.--Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 03:41, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Where it changes...

Okay, something weird here. I was battling with my Burmy on Route 222. It was in its Plant Cloak beforehand. Then I get out of battle and it's in its Sandy Cloak, as if I battled in a cave. Did they program it wrong, or are there other areas like this? TTEchidna 08:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Eh? Didn't see any caves there so that rules out my theory. However, it could be where you were training. Were you trianing it at the beach? I noticed that the Sandy Cloak is covered in rocks, like the sand. It's the Θρtιmαtum♏_Talk|Links08:39 4 Jul 2008

Battling against the sailor guys up on the rocky area by the Sunyshore entrance. Once I went into the grass nearer the beach it became Plant Cloak. TTEchidna 09:32, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Hidden Power and Protect

Burmy learns Hidden Power and Protect by leveling up, so it can also learn them by TM. If you want proof, I can get it. Baby G 01:55, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

No, just because a Pokémon can learn a move by level doesn't automatically guarantee compatability with its TM. In the case of Burmy, it's fully unable to learn any moves through TM. The fact that it gets Protect and Hidden Power by level does not change that. Burmy is one of a small group of Pokémon that can't learn moves through TM.

By your reasoning, Wynaut and Wobbuffet can learn Safeguard through TM20 in both Generation III and Generation IV, yet neither of them are compatible with that TM. Additionally, by your reasoning, Dratini and Dragonair can learn Hyper Beam through TM15 in all generations when those two weren't compatible with the TM until Generation III. It's the same with Burmy and Protect/Hidden Power.

And I could go on forever. Level-up compatability and TM compatability are two totally separate things. Knowing a move by level does NOT gurantee learning it through TM. --Shiningpikablu252 14:39, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
