Wormadam Sandy is a Bug/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

Type: Bug/Ground

Abilities:

• Anticipation: Alerts the Pokémon if the foe knows a move that could be super effective or an OHKO move.
• Overcoat (Hidden Ability): Protects the Pokémon from weather damage and powder moves.

Physical Characteristics:

• Wormadam Sandy has a cloak made of sand and rocks, giving it a distinctive earthy appearance.
• It features a pink, insect-like body with a segmented lower half.
• Its cloak gives it a rugged, uneven texture, unlike its other forms.
• It possesses two small, black eyes and antennae protruding from its head.

Behavior and Habitat:

• Wormadam Sandy is typically found in arid regions and areas with loose soil and rocks.
• Prefers to remain in trees or burrowed in the ground, camouflaging with its surroundings.
• Adapts its cloak to its environment, thus the sandy cloak when in a terrain with loose soil.
• Rarely seen interacting with other Pokémon, it often remains stationary for long periods.

In Battle:

• Defensively oriented, focusing on withstanding attacks rather than dealing quick damage.
• Notable moves include Earthquake, Bug Buzz, and Protect.
• Strong against Electric, Poison, and Steel types due to its Ground typing.
• Vulnerable to Water, Flying, and Ice types, requiring strategic play to cover these weaknesses.

Evolution:

• Evolves from a female Burmy when leveled up with a Sandy Cloak.
• Does not evolve further, remaining in its Sandy form once evolved.

Interesting Facts:

• Unlike many Pokémon, Wormadam’s form is determined by the environment where Burmy last battled, leading to different cloaks: Plant, Sandy, or Trash.
• The Sandy Cloak is unique to environments like caves or rocky areas.
• Its ability to change cloaks is an adaptation for survival, allowing it to blend into different habitats.
• Wormadam Sandy is one of the few Pokémon that cannot change its form once it evolves from Burmy, cementing its environmental adaptation.
