Venomoth (Japanese: モルフォン Morphon) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Venonat starting at level 31.
Biology
Venomoth is an insectoid Pokémon whose body is varying shades of purple. Its head and thorax are light purple, and it has bulbous, round light blue eyes, a small mandible, and a three-point crest on its head. Tucked close to its thorax are three pairs of tiny, whitish legs. Its abdomen is paler with several black, zigzagging stripes encircling it. It has two pairs of pale purple moth-like wings with thin black venation. These wings are covered in dust-like scales that vary in color depending on their toxic capability. Dark scales are poisonous, while lighter scales can cause paralysis. These scales are released when Venomoth flutters its wings.
Venomoth lives in dense temperate forests with thick undergrowth and little light. As a nocturnal Pokémon, Venomoth comes out at night to hunt of its favorite prey. It prefers to feed on insects that gather around light, and Venomoth is attracted to bright lights itself.
In the anime

During the Contest, it was able to advance to the Battle Stage and reach the final round, where it went up against Janet's Beautifly. Although both Coordinators gave it everything they had, Janet managed to defeat Chaz and won herself the Rustboro Ribbon.
A Venomoth debuted in Shocks and Bonds, under the ownership of Katie. She used it during her battle with Ash during the Ever Grande Conference. Venomoth's Disable caused Torkoal to be unable to use Iron Defense, so that her Golduck could knock out the Coal Pokémon with Hydro Pump. Venomoth reappeared in the following episode, where it used Disable once again to prohibit Swellow from using Peck. It was eventually defeated by Swellow though.
