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

It evolves into Drapion starting at level 40.

Biology

Physiology

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 the 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.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Skorupi have a deadly poison in their claws allowing them to use Template:Type2 moves. Its mouth also contains a powerful jaw enabling it to use Bite and Crunch. It can also have the ability Battle Armor, which protects it from critical hits, or the ability Sniper, which doubles the power of critical hits.

Trivia

• Before Skorupi and Gliscor were revealed, it was believed that Gligar would evolve into Drapion.
• Both of Skorupi's abilities revolve around critical hits. Battle Armor protects it from them, Sniper strengthens a move that becomes a critical hit to 3x the damage instead of 2x.
• Skorupi is the only Pokémon that loses its Template:Type2 upon evolution.
• Skorupi's cry strangely sounds like a "forest medley", with even bird songs on it.
• Though Skorupi's type combination is certainly not unique, it is the only Pokémon to be both Poison and Bug, with Poison being the primary type.

Origin

Skorupi appears to be a stylized scorpion.

Name origin

Skorupi's name is a shortening of the English word scorpion.

In other languages

• German: Pionskora - From Skorpion (scorpion), with the two halves of the word switched.
• French: Rapion
• Korean: 스콜피 Scolpi
