Why it scores here
Larvae Moth is a 500/400 Level 2 EARTH Insect whose only text is a summon restriction: it cannot be Normal Summoned or Set and can only be Special Summoned by tributing Petit Moth during the controller's second turn after Petit Moth has been equipped with Cocoon of Evolution. Its real value is as a clean Level 2 material body, which is the axis that earns points here. Accessibility is very low because the summon needs Petit Moth, Cocoon of Evolution, and a specific turn timing, and the card has no effect to interact with. The 500 ATK and the Insect type earn nothing on their own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 8 | The text requires Petit Moth on the field, Cocoon of Evolution equipped to it, and the second turn after equipping, so the card is rarely live (verified text; no deck or combo data to show otherwise). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | No effect beyond the summon, and no recorded boards show it converting into anything (inference from text; combo data empty). |
| Resource Economy | 10 | It trades one Petit Moth for one Larvae Moth with no draw, search, or recursion (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | It has no effect that negates, removes, or disrupts an opponent card (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 2 EARTH Insect is a clean generic material for Level 2 Xyz and Synchro plays, and its body still works if its summon restriction is ignored (inference; no combo data to confirm). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | A single body with no effect and no redundancy; it is easy to lose once Petit Moth or Cocoon is removed (inference from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 35 | One slot, but it is dead without Petit Moth and Cocoon of Evolution, which is a real restriction on the deck (inference from text; no deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary; no secondary role. Intrinsic ≈ 33, Deck ≈ —, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking summon restriction (-4). Final formula: Intrinsic (no decks and no combos; Deck = null) with a -4 self-locking modifier applied
Strengths
- Clean Level 2 EARTH Insect material body (verified stats; material fit is inferred)
- Works as a material even though its summon restriction makes it hard to reach (inference)
Weaknesses
- Needs Petit Moth and Cocoon of Evolution, then a specific later turn (verified text)
- No effect, so no interaction, card advantage, or recovery (verified text)
- Single body with no redundancy in the evidence (inference)
Best use
Level 2 material in a deck that already runs Petit Moth and Cocoon of Evolution (inference; no deck evidence). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Stats: Level 2, EARTH, Insect, 500 ATK / 400 DEF, Effect Monster (card); Summon restriction: cannot be Normal Summoned or Set; Special Summon only by tributing Petit Moth in the second turn after Cocoon of Evolution is equipped (card text); Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks (formats)
- Inferred: Usable as a Level 2 material, which fits Level 2 Xyz and Synchro plays; Practically rare to summon, given the Petit Moth and Cocoon requirements and the turn timing; Low resilience: one body with no redundancy
- Data gaps: no decks supplied; deck and synergy signals unavailable no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no rulings for how Cocoon of Evolution's equip timing counts toward the 2nd-turn condition no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); no archetype inclusion data no top-card data rankings
