Arbok (Japanese: アーボック, HepburnAabokku) (ARE-bock[1]) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology[]

Arbok concept art

Concept artwork of Arbok.

Physiology[]

Arbok bears a resemblance to a cobra, with the majority of its body being purple. Arbok has a "hood" much like a cobra, though it has never been shown to be able to retract it. There is a red, black and yellow pattern on their hood that looks somewhat like an angry face to intimidate other Pokémon. It is known that there are six different patterns on Arbok, each one appearing in a different generation.

Behavior[]

This Pokémon is extremely territorial. Arbok are known to be vengeful and are absolutely ruthless in pursuing anyone or thing that angers them. They are also known to hunt smaller Pokémon like Woopers and are capable of slithering to higher places such as trees to do so.

Natural abilities[]

Arbok has the abilities Intimidate and Shed Skin along with the hidden ability Unnerve. Intimidate lowers the opponent's attack stat when the player enters battle while Shed Skin cures Arbok from status ailments at the end of a turn with a 30% chance. Unnerve prevents the opponent from eating its berry. A powerful constrictor, Arbok can crush a steel barrel in its mighty coils.

Evolution[]

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

Anime[]

Jessie Arbok

Jessie's Arbok.

Jessie from Team Rocket owned an Arbok that first appeared as an Ekans in Pokémon Emergency. It was extremely loyal to her, so much in fact that it evolved into Arbok in Dig Those Diglett. It was her main battling Pokémon and had a strong loving bond with her. Jessie released it in A Poached Ego, along with James' Weezing, to save a group of wild Ekans and Koffing from a poacher.

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".
  • Arbok's original beta name was Nagaasp.
  • Arbok's hood has changed designs throughout generations. In Generation I, it has its common hood with two white spots on a "W" shaped neck design. In Generation II, the fake eyes on its hood took an almost flaming look. In Generation III, its fake mouth had two black fangs and a red inside. In Generation IV to Generation V, it had two red dots on its "W" shaped neck design instead of white ones. In Generation VI, it was finally changed to its final design.
  • Arbok is one of the collectable spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
  • Arbok is the last Pokémon to be featured on Kanto Pokérap.

Origin[]

Arbok appears to be based off a cobra. It might also partly be based on a boa constrictor and/or anaconda. However, the spots on its body resemble an Indian cobra. It may also be based on a basilisk, a legendary snake-like dragon that was venomous and could kill with its glare.

Etymology[]

Arbok comes from spelling the word cobra backwards, but with a 'k' instead of a 'c'.
