There is a red, black and yellow pattern on this hood that looks somewhat like an angry face to intimidate other Pokémon.

Intimidate lowers the opponent's attack stat when the player enters battle while Shed Skin cures Arbok from status aliments at the end of a turn with a 30% chance. Unnerve prevents the opponent from eating its berry.

Arbok is the evolved form of Ekans, as of level 22.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon anime there is a misconception that Arbok evolves into Seviper.
- Though it is named "Arbok", what it pronounces is "Char-bok".
Etymology
Arbok appears to be based off a cobra.
Arbok's English name is taken from the word "cobra", except spelled with a "k" making it "kobra", and spelling it backwards.
