Pokemon Reviews: Mothim

Mothim

Mothim loves the honey that comes from flowers, but won't gather any itself. So it flutters around, plotting to steel honey from where Combee live. Mothim doesn't keep a nest.
Female Burmy evolve into Wormadam, whereas Male Burmy evolve into Mothim. Not only is its design lackluster, but so are Mothim's base stats. Its highest stats, which are its Attack and Sp. Attack, only have a puny base of 94. Although now you can keep Mothim Physically based or Specially based. You have an okay Speed stat, and a balanced out HP stat. Mothim has really poor Defense and Sp. Defense stats, making it easy to KO in battle.
Mothim can use Quiver Dance, which boosts the Sp. Attack, Sp. Defense, and Speed stats of the user. Use it a couple of times in battle, and it might make Mothim a tad stronger but because you're so vulnerable, it's kinda pointless to use this move at all. You have STAB moves like Air Slash, Silver Wind, Bug Buzz, U-Turn, and those are actually all of Mothim's best STAB moves. However, Mothim can use Psychic and a few other good moves, so you could say it just has a mild movepool.
Mothim's ability is Swarm, which powers up Bug-Type move when HP is fairly low. Always useful as you can tell, because Mothim needs all the help it can get.
So Mothim isn't really the best Pokemon overall, but it's safe to say that it isn't the worst.

yeah,the female Burmy turn into Wormadam. It's better than Combee- only the females evolve, which sorta makes sense, as it turns into Vespiquen, which sorta has the word queen in it, but is still sux.

Positive Review- The Pokemon is strong, great, used a lot, Pokemon is good overall.

In-Between Review- The Pokemon is okay, not the best, okay, acceptable, has one or two faults, In the Middle.

Yikes Review- The Pokemon is bad, maybe weak, not the best at all, has a few faults, it needs improvement.

STAB- Stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. It's when a Pokemon uses an attack that is the same Type as itself. The move becomes more powerful because the move is the same Type as the user.

Eeveelutions- An evolved form of Eevee.

Staller- A Pokemon that takes up time in battle. They usually use something like Toxic, use an Attack to inflict damage and after that, uses Protect to take up some time, and rely on the Poisoning to defeat the opposing Pokemon. It also counts with Pokemon who use moves like Refresh. Usually a Stalling Pokemon has to have high HP, Defense, Sp. Defense, and Speed stats.

Uber- A Pokemon capable of doing a lot of damage, mostly legendaries.

Tiers- Ranks that separate Pokemon into different classes, based on how often they're used and how capable they are in battle. LC is Little Cup, which is mainly unevolved Pokemon, NFE is Not Fully-Evolved, which are Pokemon that have evolved, but aren't fully-evolved, and Limbo are Pokemon being tested out to see how capable they are. To find out more about the main tiers, check out serebii.net, smogon, and Bulbapedia.

Entry Hazards- Things set up by using the moves Spikes, Toxic Spikes, or Stealth Rock. These can hurt Pokemon after being set up upon the Pokemon being sent out in the battle. Depending on the Pokemon's typing, they may get hurt a lot. If a Pokemon is 4x weak to Stealth Rock, for example, they lose half of their HP. Spikes can be avoided with levitating or Flying-Type Pokemon. Toxic Spikes poison the opponent's Pokemon when they're sent out into battle. Two sets of them badly poison them.
