Frosmoth (Pokémon)

|}
Frosmoth (Japanese: モスノウ Mothnow) is a dual-type introduced in Generation VIII.
It evolves from when leveled up with high friendship at night.
==Biology==
Frosmoth is a white, -like with a round body, of which the upper half is thicker, giving it the appearance of a ruff. It has deep blue eyes and long eyelashes. It has a blue jewel between its eyes and two long antennae, which are gray at the tip with trapezoid patterns. These antennae are used to detect air currents. Frosmoth has two large wings which are gray with a white rim; the patterns on its wings are the same as that on the tip of its antennae. Frosmoth typically keeps its arms crossed, and its usually obscured, light blue palms each have a heart-shaped pad.
The ice scales from Frosmoth's wings can fall like snow while it flies over the fields and mountains. The wings have a temperature of −290 °F (−180 °C). Should anyone desecrate the fields and mountains, Frosmoth will show no mercy. Frosmoth flies around using its icy wings to create blizzards in order to chase away offenders. Frosmoth enjoys drinking clean meltwater.

===Origin===
Frosmoth may be based on the genus of alpine or Arctic moths. One particular species, the , can enter a dormant state that allows it to endure temperatures as low as −94 °F (−70 °C).

The small amount it eats compared to Snom in Pokémon Camp may also reference how adult giant silk moths are unable to eat due to their vestigial mouthparts and lack of a digestive system. Its translucent wings may have been inspired by clearwing moths ( or ) or .
====Name origin====
Frosmoth may be a combination of frost and moth.
