I took one look at every single one of these and thought to myself "Omg! These are amazing!" They have so much potential. Does anyone else think these are amazing.

BTW Mothim is terrible.
 
Mothim isn't that bad...possibility for t3 110 is pretty good. It also kinda sucks that the Burmys only have 40 HP. I'm gonna test it pretty soon (hopefully).
 
40 hp is a bit of a risk with playing it. Lucario probably won't see much play due to Gardevior, but if anything turns me off playing it, it will be the basics hp.
 
Recovery power is questionable at times with the worms, as is the basic's HP, but they're excellent early game attackers. Wormadam Trash is simply the best staller in the format (Buffer Piece + some Special Metals grabbed via Burmy's power, YIKES), Wormadam Sand is among the easiest high amount of damage in the format (Already stated why), and Wormadam Plant is rediculously disruptive (high HP + Almost always auto-confuse is crazy) Only problem is that all of their attacks need 3 energy, and when recovering after a knock out, you might get stuck having to use a Burmy attach power, then attach something from hand before the opponent kills you. :/

Got ideas for how to close matches started with Worm rushes? It'd likely want to use Grass/Fighting/Metal/Colorless energy. It'd likely want to attack with 1 (or maybe 2) energy. Hm. What is there...
 
You can use the Bury's power and then evolve on the same turn. Provided that you are able to bench him one turn before a KO it should be golden most of the time.

Plant Cloak is the one that really catches my eye. It's a nice early game attacker. Later on if you can stick a Burmy or two on the bench you can just grab energy from the discard with them and then use something like Sceptile to move it around or combo with Venasaur CG for high damage output without moving it.
 
I like the Wormadams as well, but keep in mind:
You can only use Burmy's power when active
Trash Burmy can only get basic metals
Powers and bodies can (and will) be turned off.

But DRE works just fine with Sand Wormadam!
 
Mothim is AWESOME! What you guys don't realize is his attack is ANY damage done to the defending pokemon next turn by an attack is increased by 40. This means it doesn't have to be damage done by Mothim, it could be any of your Pokemon.
