Skorupi (Japanese: スコルピ Scorpi) is a dual-type Poison/Bug Pokémon.

It evolves into Drapion starting at level 40.

Biology

Skorupi resembles an over-sized, pale purple scorpion. Its claws and tail have been swapped, giving it two stingers and a claw tail. The miniature jaws, claws, and tail claws are white. Its arms are attached directly to its head, close to its teal eyes. A pointed marking joins its eyes. The head, arms, two tail segments, and all four legs are light blue, while the body, tail end, and other two tail segments are a darker shade of blue.

It buries itself in sand and lies in wait for unsuspecting prey, and grips prey with its tail claws, injecting poison; it will then hold on until the poison takes effect. Skorupi is found in deserts and dry areas like Reversal Mountain, though it can be found in marshy areas such as the Great Marsh.

Trivia

• Skorupi is the only Pokémon to have its Bug-type changed upon evolution.
• Skorupi is the only Pokémon with the Bug/Poison combination to have Poison as its primary type.
• As of Generation VI, Skorupi and its evolution's Egg Group (Bug and Water 3) are unique.

Origin

Skorupi is based on a scorpion. It has some characteristics that resemble a vinegarroon, a similar arachnid. Its Water 3 Egg Group designation may be a reference to the ancient group of arthropods known as sea scorpions that used to inhabit the oceans and may have been the ancestors of modern scorpions.

Name origin

Skorupi and Scorpi are a shortening of scorpion.
