Mothim's body is gray also and its legs are white. It also has a small gray tail that splits into two. It doesn't matter what form Burmy was in before it evolved; Mothim will always look the same.

Trivia

Origin

Mothim is based on an adult Bagworm Moth, which only fully mature if male.

Name origin

Mothim's Japanese name is derived from ga, the Japanese word for moth, and an intentional misspelling of the English word male. Mothim comes from moth and him. Its German name, Moterpel, comes from Motte. Its French name, Papilord, comes from papillon and lord.
