'''Skorupi''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スコルピ''' ''Scorupi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Drapion}} starting at [[level]] 40.
 
==Biology==
Skorupi is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which resembles an oversized, 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.


=Biology=
It buries itself in sand and lies in wait for unsuspecting prey, gripping it with its tail claws and injecting poison; it will then hold on until the poison takes effect. However, it is capable of surviving for a year without nourishment. Skorupi is related to {{p|Sizzlipede}} through a common ancestor. Skorupi is found in deserts and dry areas like [[Reversal Mountain]], though it can be found in marshy areas such as the [[Great Marsh]]. Skorupi is considered a highly dangerous Pokémon due its lethal claws and poison. However, Skorupi cannot stand cold temperatures, becoming weaker when exposed.

==Trivia==
* Skorupi is the only dual-type {{t|Bug}}/{{t|Poison}} Pokémon to have Poison as its primary [[type]] instead of its secondary type.
** Skorupi is also the only Pokémon to have the Bug type changed upon [[evolution]].
* Skorupi and Drapion are the only [[Generation IV]] {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with an insectoid body}}.
** Skorupi and Drapion are also the only {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} in the {{egg|Water 3}} [[Egg Group]].
 
===Origin===
Skorupi appears to be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}. It has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}}, a similar arachnid. Its {{egg|Water 3}} Egg Group designation may be a reference to the ancient group of arthropods known as {{wp|Eurypterid|sea scorpions}} that used to inhabit the oceans and may have been the ancestors of modern scorpions.
 
====Name origin====
Skorupi and Scorupi appear to be shortenings of ''{{wp|scorpion}}''.


=Trivia=
==Origin==
Scorpi appears to be a stylized scorpion.
===Name origin===
Scorpi's name is a shortening of the English word ''[[wp:scorpion|scorpion]]''.

Skorupi (Japanese: スコルピ Scorupi) is a dual-type Poison/Bug Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Drapion starting at level 40.

Biology

Skorupi is a Pokémon which resembles an oversized, 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, gripping it with its tail claws and injecting poison; it will then hold on until the poison takes effect. However, it is capable of surviving for a year without nourishment. Skorupi is related to Sizzlipede through a common ancestor. Skorupi is found in deserts and dry areas like Reversal Mountain, though it can be found in marshy areas such as the Great Marsh. Skorupi is considered a highly dangerous Pokémon due its lethal claws and poison. However, Skorupi cannot stand cold temperatures, becoming weaker when exposed.

Evolution

Skorupi evolves into Drapion.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

Origin

Skorupi appears to be 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 Scorupi appear to be shortenings of scorpion.
