Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Diamond | When BURMY evolved, its cloak became a part of this Pokémon’s body. The cloak is never shed. |
| Pearl / X / Omega Ruby | Its appearance changes depending on where it evolved. The materials on hand become a part of its body. |
| Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2 | When evolving, its body takes in surrounding materials. As a result, there are many body variations. |
| HeartGold / SoulSilver | It is said that a WORMADAM that evolves on a cold day will have a thicker cloak. |
| Y / Alpha Sapphire | When Burmy evolved, its cloak became a part of this Pokémon’s body. The cloak is never shed. |

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
