• Cheryl's Mothim

Origin

Mothim is based on the adult form of a bagworm moth. Bagworm larvae are only capable of maturing into moths if they are male, which is why Burmy can only evolve into Mothim if it is male. It may also take inspiration from the Death's-head Hawkmoth, a moth that is shown to raid beehives for their honey and nectar, similarly to how Mothim steals honey from Combee.

Etymology

Its name comes from a combination of the words moth and him, the latter being a pronoun to signify something male, referring to Mothim's male-only species.
