CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Mothim seeks flower nectar but readily steals stores collected by Combee. Night offers a chance to approach their honey while they sleep. Its wingbeats also scatter steel-colored scales. In Hisui, the observer notices a contrast: despite a mainly nectar-based diet, this Pokémon is rarely seen around flower gardens. Its search for food therefore does not always make it easy to observe.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Legends: Arceus emphasizes that Mothim is rarely seen near flower gardens despite feeding mainly on nectar. The entry also mentions the metallic-colored scales it scatters while beating its wings.
