Venomoth is a Poison/Bug-type moth Pokémon which evolves from Venonat.^[3] Venonat , Kongpang) are one of the 493 fictional species of PokÃ©mon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] PokÃ©mon media franchiseâ€”a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards, and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. ...

Venomoth's name comes from the words venom and moth, referring to its poisonous fangs and wing scales and the real species it is based on. The name Venomoth refers to the species as a whole, as well as to individual specimens in the games, anime, manga, trading cards, and other media. A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly. ...

Biological characteristics

Venomoth looks quite a lot like an oversized moth. It has a pair of pale violet wings shaped like a butterfly's, a purple body and a violet abdomen. It has two glassy blue eyes. It also has very small legs and mandibles.^[3] Superfamilies and families Superfamily Hedyloidea: Hedylidae Superfamily Hesperioidea: Hesperiidae Superfamily Papilionoidea: Papilionidae Pieridae Nymphalidae Lycaenidae Riodinidae A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. ...

Venomoth is a nocturnal Pokémon. It is an insectivore - it eats bug pokémon, preferring most those that fly around streetlights transfixed by their luminoscity, thus making easy prey.^[3] Venomoth are often hunted by Zubat, Golbat, and Crobat. A nocturnal animal is one that sleeps during the day and is active at night - the opposite of the human (diurnal) schedule. ... Zubat ) is a fictional character. ... Golbat is a fictional PokÃ©mon. ... Crobat (ã‚¯ãƒãƒãƒƒãƒˆ Kurobatto in Japan, Iksbat in Germany and Nostenfer in France) is a fictional character from the PokÃ©mon franchise. ...

Venomoth's main means of attack and defense against larger foes are the powdery scales covering its wings. These scales are hard to remove, and they contain highly toxic dust which is released on contact with the wings or whenever Venomoth flaps them. If Venomoth beats its wings fast and violently enough, it can let loose large clouds of powder all around it, making contact with it inevitable.^[3]

The exact effects of Venomoth's powder depends on its color, which corresponds with the color of the scales it originated from: dark colored powder is poisonous, while lighter colored powder will induce paralysis.^[3] Its name comes from venom and moth. Paralysis is the complete loss of muscle function for one or more muscle groups. ...

In the video games

Venomoth is available in many games, but it is uncommon to find. In Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, Venomoth is found in the Safari Zone,^[4] Victory Road^[5] and the Cerulean Cave ; in Pokémon Yellow it is found in Routes 14 and 15 and in the Cerulean Cave.^[6] PokÃ©mon Red and PokÃ©mon Blue were the first PokÃ©mon games released for the Game Boy in the United States. ...

Venomoth has pretty much average stats, but its special attack and speed are high. Its type combination is Bug/Poison, not Bug/Flying or Poison/Flying as is the case with most flying insect-like Pokémon, which rather ironically means it can be harmed by ground attacks despite its noticeable wings. Its Shield Dust ability is extremely useful, since it protects Venomoth from the additional effect of moves used against it, effects such as status ailments, flinching and stat reduction.^[3]

In Diamond and Pearl, it gains a new ability, Colored Glasses, which raises the power of an ineffective move used against an opponent.

In the animé

Venomoth first appeared in episode #32 (The Ninja Poké Showdown), where it was used by Koga, the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City.^[7] It evolved from Venonat as soon as it emerged from its Poké Ball.
