Trivia
- Despite its name and resemblance to the spider, Spinarak lacks the 8 legs required to be a true arachnid.
- Spinarak and its evolution Ariados are the only Template:Type2 Pokémon that can learn Night Shade.
- Prior to Generation V, Spinarak is the only Pokémon capable of learning SonicBoom through breeding.
- Spinarak was originally purple in Gold and Silver games. This is not the case in Crystal and later generations.
- However, its original Ken Sugimori artwork is green. This may be due to its only appearing at night.
- Spinarak can be seen as a parallel to Ledyba. Both of them are Bug-type Generation II Pokémon. Spinarak is exclusive to Pokémon Gold and HeartGold, while Ledyba is exclusive to Pokémon Silver and SoulSilver. Spinarak are nocturnal, while Ledyba are nocturnal. Additionally, their rarity is also reversed, with Spinarak being more common in Pokémon FireRed, and Ledyba in Pokémon LeafGreen. Both were also added to the expanded Safari Zone in Emerald, both can only be obtained by breeding their evolved forms in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black and White, and both Pokémon have had their egg designs revealed.
Origin
Spinarak was created through a children's Pokémon design activity in the American TCG League. In particular, Spinarak shares coloring and appearance with the Happy Face Spider, an arachnid from Hawaii that seems to have a face on its abdomen.
Name origin
Spinarak's name is a combination of spinneret, which is where a spider excretes silk from, and arachnid. Itomaru could be a combination of 糸 ito, thread, and 丸 maru, circle, or a shortening of 巻き上がる makiagaru, to roll up.
