What i thought they were going for with the design was like a subway train. Perfect for a tunnel boring worm. But then like the blue spots are just wacky hands, and nothing ever connects it to subways in game, pokedex dont even mention tunneling.
He's growing on me. He may even find a permanent place in my team this generation, though I find myself deviating from my normal type spreads... I usually try to get either a pretty even balance, or I end up with all bug pokemon (it's my favorite type, I just gravitate to them naturally lol) but this generation I have somehow ended up mostly with Ghosts. 😅
I've got Brambleghast, Ceruledge, Houndstone, and Dreepy, plus Meowscarada and Orthworm. My team comp is 66.6% Ghosts.
... You've seen Quaquaval, right? Or Muk? Or Hypno? Or Mr. Mime?
Jokes aside, Orthworm is far from the ugliest Pokémon, in my opinion. I think it's kinda cute, actually. Especially with it's dumb little blue appendages, lol. What's about it's design is so off-putting for you? Not a challenge, just genuinely curious. 🙂
