Burmy Forms

Forms only affect appearance, although they become permanent upon evolution. Wild and newly-hatched Burmy are always in a Plant Cloak. Burmy's cloak changes to match the terrain after a battle it participated in: Plant Cloak by default; Sandy Cloak in sandy or rocky areas, such as beaches, caves, and trails; and Trash Cloak in buildings.

Flavor Text

: Even if it is born where there are no cocooning materials, it somehow always ends up with a cloak.

: To shelter itself from cold, wintry winds, it covers itself with a cloak made of twigs and leaves.
: If its cloak is broken in battle, it quickly remakes the cloak with materials nearby.
