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.

Trivia
- 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 3× the damage instead of 2×.
- Skorupi is the only Pokémon that loses its Bug-type upon evolution.
- Though Skorupi's type combination is not unique (there are several Bug/Poison Pokémon), there are no other Pokémon which are Poison/Bug.
- Although Skorupi can learn Knock Off via level-up, it can't learn it via move tutor.
