Spinarak (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver. It evolves into Ariados starting at level 22.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Spinarak is a green Pokémon that resembles a spider. It has black eyes with white pupils, a white horn on its forehead, and a pair of red mandibles. On the back of its abdomen are two black dots and a line that resembles a face; the face on its back can change expression, as seen in the anime and 3D video games. There is an additional line encircling the end of its abdomen. It has three pairs of yellow legs, each with a black band around the middle.
Spinarak is a nocturnal Pokémon that lives in temperate and tropical forests. It spins webs that are strong enough to withstand having stones set on them and act as nets for fishermen. A patient hunter, it can wait for days for prey to become ensnared in its web. It senses what kind of prey has been caught by the vibrations in the web and its preferred prey is Cutiefly. Its poison is not very strong but is potent enough to weaken caught prey. Spinarak and its evolved form Ariados are the only known Pokémon that can learn Toxic Thread. In the past, this was also true of Spider Web.
