Ekans is a purple, serpentine Pokémon. Its eyes, underbelly, the thick stripe around its neck, and rattle are yellow. Ekans has three pairs of black lines encircling its body, as well as another line that connects each slitted eye and curves toward its nose. Its large mouth has a round, pink tongue and no visible teeth. | Ekans is a purple, serpentine Pokémon. Its eyes, underbelly, the thick stripe around its neck, and rattle are yellow. Ekans has three pairs of black lines encircling its body, as well as another line that connects each slitted eye and curves toward its nose. Its large mouth has a round, pink tongue and no visible teeth. While painful, a newborn Ekans's bite is not venomous. This Pokémon grows longer with age. | ||
Ekans moves stealthily through grass | Ekans lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy savannas and plains}}, where it moves stealthily through grass. It preys on Eggs from {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}} nests, but can strike other prey from behind. By flicking its tongue out, it is able to detect danger and the scent of prey. Its jaw can detach to swallow large prey, but such a meal can make Ekans too heavy to move. It wraps itself around tree branches at night to rest. If not in a tree, it will coil itself up—a position in which it can defend itself from all directions. It was also shown in [[M02|the second movie]] to possess some swimming abilities. Its former [[signature move]] is {{m|Glare}}. | ||

====[[Jessie's Ekans]]==== | ====Major appearances==== | ||
[[Jessie]] had an Ekans | =====[[Jessie's Ekans]]===== | ||
[[Jessie]] had an Ekans which she received as a {{wp|chūgen}} gift (a [[birthday]] gift in the dub) before the start of the series. It debuted in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' and for most of the [[original series]], was her only Pokémon. It was extremely loyal to her and eventually evolved into an {{p|Arbok}} in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'' just to make her happy. | |||
==== | =====[[Team Meanies]]===== | ||
Ekans was part of Team Meanies in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. {{p|Gengar}} commanded the Poisonous Snake Pokémon to eat all the Berries Team Go-Getters collected. At one point, Ekans was incorrectly referred to as Arbok by Gengar. While this was an intentional error that Ekans rebuked in the original version (due to the similarities in the Japanese names), this came across as a general mistake in the dub and was corrected in reairings of the episode. | |||
=====Other===== | |||
[[Rico|A poacher]] had captured a bunch of Ekans in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]''. Jessie released her Arbok along with [[James's Weezing]] in order to protect these Ekans along with a group of captured Koffing. | |||

Ekans (Japanese: アーボ Arbo) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Arbok starting at level 22.
Biology
Ekans is a purple, serpentine Pokémon. Its eyes, underbelly, the thick stripe around its neck, and rattle are yellow. Ekans has three pairs of black lines encircling its body, as well as another line that connects each slitted eye and curves toward its nose. Its large mouth has a round, pink tongue and no visible teeth. While painful, a newborn Ekans's bite is not venomous. This Pokémon grows longer with age.
Ekans lives in grassy savannas and plains, where it moves stealthily through grass. It preys on Eggs from Pidgey and Spearow nests, but can strike other prey from behind. By flicking its tongue out, it is able to detect danger and the scent of prey. Its jaw can detach to swallow large prey, but such a meal can make Ekans too heavy to move. It wraps itself around tree branches at night to rest. If not in a tree, it will coil itself up—a position in which it can defend itself from all directions. It was also shown in the second movie to possess some swimming abilities. Its former signature move is Glare.
In the anime
In the main series
Major appearances
Jessie's Ekans
Jessie had an Ekans which she received as a chūgen gift (a birthday gift in the dub) before the start of the series. It debuted in Pokémon Emergency! and for most of the original series, was her only Pokémon. It was extremely loyal to her and eventually evolved into an Arbok in Dig Those Diglett! just to make her happy.
Team Meanies
Ekans was part of Team Meanies in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!. Gengar commanded the Poisonous Snake Pokémon to eat all the Berries Team Go-Getters collected. At one point, Ekans was incorrectly referred to as Arbok by Gengar. While this was an intentional error that Ekans rebuked in the original version (due to the similarities in the Japanese names), this came across as a general mistake in the dub and was corrected in reairings of the episode.
Other
A poacher had captured a bunch of Ekans in A Poached Ego!. Jessie released her Arbok along with James's Weezing in order to protect these Ekans along with a group of captured Koffing.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Ekans was originally known as "Arbo". This is, of course, its romanized Japanese name.
- In early official art of Ekans, all of the bands on its body were yellow instead of just the one on its "neck". This was changed in later art.
- An Ekans was originally going to be featured in Pokémon Snap, shown in an early test shot of an environment that was never featured in the final product. This is also true of its evolution, Arbok.
- Ekans is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect foreign Pokédex entries for in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
Origin
Ekans appears to be based on a boa and rattlesnake, and its facial markings resemble an Indian cobra's hood. However, its lack of teeth, ability to swallow large prey, preying on Pokémon eggs, and reaction to threats are more akin to an egg-eating snake. The yellow band around its neck may refer to the ring-necked snake. Ekans and Arbok may also be inspired by the legendary basilisk since they were originally the only Pokémon to learn Glare. The basilisk was said to be a poisonous, serpentine dragon that would kill people with its stare, which may explain Ekans's place in the Dragon Egg Group.
Name origin
Ekans is snake spelled backwards.
Arbo is an anagram of ボア boa.
