Just a curiousity, but Couldn't Burmy/Wormadam have had a 4th form for if they evolved in water? Think about it, what would happen if you trained a female Burmy in the water? The most logical thought would be that it would become a sort of water-cloak Wormadam after it evolves. Burmy supposedly cover itself with materials from wherever it's at, so if at sea or rivers, they could gather a seashell or seaweed cloak, making a sea-cloak Wormadam. Although, Burmy at sea could argueably get sand cloaks from the floor underneath the waves, but what do you think about this?
 
It'd have to be seaweed, and it'd have to be beaches - not water. Afterall, for Burmy to get -anything- from the sea at all to use as a cover, it'd have to be fighting underwater, which'd be a problem if it couldn't breathe.

But yeah, seaweed from fighting around beaches would be cool. Probably even something to be hopeful for GameFreak to include in future games as bothering in Sinnoh with its whole 3 tiny beachy areas would be a bit unlikely...
 
Thing is, I doubt the little insect that Burmys are can even swim well enough to gather the Seaweed to cloak itself with. Then there's the problem of it washing off and it being eaten by water pokemon.

Seaweed can be found on beaches, so no swimming would HAVE to be involved (would love to see one swimming, though). And wouldn't they hold up as well as leaves?

I was thinking that it secreted something sticky all aroudn its body or used a secretion from its mouth to hold it in.

But I guess it could work.
 
I'd rather have a hypothetical Bug/Water Wormadam adorned with discarded seashells, much like the real speices of bagworm The Snailcase Bagworm.

For it's supposed stat allocation, it has the Attack stats of the Grass form (Higher special attack then physical) but the Defense stats of the Ground form (Higher defense then special defense.)
 
but before it would have a chance to cover itself, it would drown so like i said before:

ewwwwwwwwww drowned bug thingy
 
So you ignored post #4 and #7 or something? I mean they did just show that it doesn't actually have to go in water.
 
I didnt ignore the posts. Its just some people were saying that it had to collect stuff from the actual water rather than beach and I was clarifieing that it was the beach like you said just now.

Its definition of how it makes its shell sounds more like the ground form to me though Seashells would be cool.

Then again, We have a Wormadam form that's wrapped in what looks like cotton candy but is actually a steel type. (It may actually be building insulation, but I don't know if building insulation even uses metal.)

Obviously pink aluminium foils and pink tin cans are all the rage in Sinnoh.
 
I hope noone thinks it is cotton candy and tries to eat him:

Wormadam Trash Cloak: Help me!!!!!!!!
 
I wouldn't care if it was cotton candy, I wouldn't eat anything that was wrapped around a big bug.
 
But there is so much cotton candy in the way, noone can the bug inside until it's too late, when they get a disgusting taste in their mouths.
 
Yeah, but a wierd shaped cotton candy stick with eyes and a pointy nose? I think somebody would notice that..
 
aren't there spiders who can partially cloak themselves in a bubble when diving under water? I was thinking it'd be pretty cool if a Water-type Minomadam was something like that (or it's somehow able to hold water in a solid state around its body, much like the Water-type Powarun).

that insulation is fiberglass, correct? Well, I'm pretty sure glass contains silica, so there you go.

Though, what I'd really like to know is how all Minomucchi manage to look like the same three variants... game limitations, I guess, but nonetheless, the rest of the franchise follows its example, and one must also consider Minomadam's method of evolving with the materials fusing to its body (and again, they all look the same). Does this guy use its Hidden Power to perfectly refine the materials around it into a cloak? But then how do we have garbage-cloak Minomucchi with a Poison-type Hidden Power, or sand-cloak Minomucchi with an Electric-type Hidden Power?
