Spiritomb (Japanese: ミカルゲ Mikaruge) is a dual-type Ghost/Dark Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Spiritomb resembles a swirling, purple vortex with green light circling the face. It has a green mouth with a crooked expression and two green eyes shaped like half-crescents. One of the eyes has a spiral-shaped pupil. Spiritomb is attached to a light-brown stone, known as the Odd Keystone, in which it was trapped after doing bad deeds. It is apparently composed of 108 separate, yet bound-together, malevolent spirits.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Spiritomb's abilities are similar to its fellow Dark/Template:Type2, Sableye. However, Spiritomb is much stronger than Sableye both offensively and defensively, while being slightly slower. Spiritomb's movepool lacks most of Sableye's attacking options. However, Spiritomb can use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact, Destiny Bond, Imprison, Grudge, and Ominous Wind. Like most Ghost-types, it can also use Will-O-Wisp.

Behavior

Spiritomb are extremely malevolent Pokémon. They tend to go on destructive rampages, not unlike Gyarados.

Habitat

Spiritomb dwell in the Hallowed Tower. Some, as indicated in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, also live in caves.

Origin

Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It also based on a Buddhist tradition performed on New Year's Eve in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve nirvana.

Spiritomb's name is derived from spirit and tomb. Its Japanese name may come from 甕 mika, meaning jar or urn, referring to it being a container of souls; and 軽石 karuishi, pumice, or 御影石 mikageishi, granite, referring to its base, the Odd Keystone.
