In the Tall Grass Club catching game, Mothim is rarely seen in the wild. The best way to get one is to evolve Burmy at level 20. Burmy lives in the Meadow.
Mothim isn't found in the wild in the main games listed in PokeAPI. Most trainers get it by evolving Burmy.
Mothim is weak to Flying, Rock, Fire, Electric and Ice moves, so Pokémon of those types are your best bet.
