Mothim was first seen as a Burmy in ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening]]'' when he was lured to a Sweet Honey Tree which [[Cheryl]] put [[Honey]] on. When he appeared, Cheryl checked his gender by having her {{p|Chansey}} use {{m|Attract}} on him. After catching Burmy, Cheryl explained how she was a treasure hunter and needed a male Burmy to evolve into a Mothim. She then shown Ash and his friends that she had three {{p|Wormadam}} and explained that she needed a Mothim to assist her in finding the Amber Castle.

Throughout the episode, Cheryl was trying to get Burmy to evolve, but Burmy lost all of its battles. He then got stolen by [[Team Rocket]] and when battling against Team Rocket, Burmy evolved.
Ash volunteered to help Burmy evolve so he sent {{AP|Turtwig}} out first to battle him. Despite the type-advantage, Burmy easily bounced off of Turtwig when he {{m|tackle}}d him. As Turtwig used Tackle back, it caused Burmy to get thrown back and lost after Turtwig panicked and used Tackle again. Seeing that Turtwig was a little too tough, {{AP|Pikachu}} took Turtwig's place in getting Burmy to evolve. Unlike before, Burmy was not able to get sent flying. During the middle of the battle, he got stolen by {{TRT}} and they do their own ways of battling to get Burmy to evolve. After a snack break, he took on {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, who could not use any damaging moves. {{MTR}} took over and accidentally won. As soon as Ash and his friends arrived, Burmy battled with his full potential. He used the coil-like appendage to wrap up  Wobbuffet and squeeze it. He ran to Meowth and tackled him. After using {{m|Hidden Power}} on both Meowth and Wobbuffet, Burmy ended up evolving into Mothim. After evolving, he teamed up with Cheryl's Chansey to defeat {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. With Team Rocket defeated, Mothim continued the search for the Amber Castle.

Team Rocket arrived, after evading a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} which evolved from {{p|Kakuna}} earlier, and Mothim was once again taken by Team Rocket even though Brock protected Cheryl from getting caught by them. However, the trio were not successful as Gardenia's Turtwig used {{m|Leech Seed}} on their mecha arm and Mothim was freed. Mothim flew off to some flowers and found a male {{p|Combee}} near one.

History

As a Burmy

Mothim first appeared as a wild Burmy when he was lured to a Sweet Honey Tree that Ash's Aipom found. It was then revealed that Cheryl put Honey on that tree to catch a Burmy. When he appeared, Cheryl checked his gender by having her Chansey use Attract on him, which was successful. She battled Burmy with Chansey and after weakening him a bit, Cheryl threw a Poké Ball at him and successfully caught him. After catching Burmy, Cheryl explained how she was a treasure hunter and needed a male Burmy to evolve into a Mothim. She then showed Ash and his friends that she had three Wormadam and explained that she needed a Mothim to assist her in finding the Amber Castle.

Ash volunteered to help Burmy evolve so he sent Turtwig out first to battle him. Despite the type-advantage, Burmy easily bounced off of Turtwig when he tackled him. As Turtwig used Tackle back, it caused Burmy to get thrown back and lost after Turtwig panicked and used Tackle again. Seeing that Turtwig was a little too tough, Pikachu took Turtwig's place in getting Burmy to evolve. Unlike before, Burmy was not able to get sent flying. During the middle of the battle, he got stolen by Team Rocket and they do their own ways of battling to get Burmy to evolve. After a snack break, he took on Wobbuffet, who could not use any damaging moves. Meowth took over and accidentally won. As soon as Ash and his friends arrived, Burmy battled with his full potential. He used the coil-like appendage to wrap up Wobbuffet and squeeze it. He ran to Meowth and tackled him. After using Hidden Power on both Meowth and Wobbuffet, Burmy ended up evolving into Mothim. After evolving, he teamed up with Cheryl's Chansey to defeat Seviper and Carnivine. With Team Rocket defeated, Mothim continued the search for the Amber Castle.
