I remember seeing that when Jessie and James are about to die, they reffer to each other as "brothers". This is incorrect, as we see in later episodes. That's what I remember. However, I saw with Spanish dub, so it may have been a dub mistake. --[[User:Dr. James|Dr. James]] 04:25, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
:That may have been a Spanish dub thing... I know they tend to add stuff like that. >_> [[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 04:42, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
::Shouldn't it be mentioned? --[[User:Dr. James|Dr. James]] 15:04, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I had a quick comment, really. in one scene, a few of everyone's pokemon are out (pikachu, ekans, koffing, charmander, squirtle, bulbasaur, etc.) and they almost sink the boat. yet, when onix comes out, nothing happens. I actually did the math, and according to the weights of each pokemon that I found on this website, Onix (combined with humans) weighs almost twice as much as the other pokemon (and the humans). Shouldn't this be in the errors? Or should I just keep it in here?

'''Arbok''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーボック''' ''Arbok'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ekans}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A reptilian with purple scales over most of its body. It has lost the rattle it had on its tail as an Ekans. Like a cobra, it can spread out its ribs into a hood. On its "hood", it has a design much like an angry face. The frightening patterns on its belly have been studied. Six variations have been confirmed.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It has a nasty {{m|bite}} with {{m|toxic|deadly venom}}. Terrifically strong, it is capable of crushing opponents by coiling its body around them and {{m|Wrap|constricting}}. It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, {{a|Intimidate|intimidating}} the opponent with {{m|Glare|the frightening pattern}} on its body and making eerie sounds by expelling air from its mouth. If any part of Arbok's body except for the head is cut off, it can regrow the rest of its body again in a matter of a few weeks. It shares this trait with {{p|Onix}}. It also has the ability to detect vibrations as shown in ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]'' and ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''.

===Behavior===
Rather vicious, Arbok are territorial. They lash out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. With a vengeful nature, it won't give up a chase after prey or an opponent, no matter how far, once it targets it prey.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Arbok live in grassy savannas and plains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

In the wild, Arbok are hunters of smaller Pokémon, using the pattern on its hood to immoblize prey and using its venom to finish them off.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arbok anime.png|thumb|right|210px|Arbok in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Arbok]]====
[[Jessie]] had an Arbok that she obtained as an {{p|Ekans}}. It was extremely loyal to her. It was her primary battling Pokémon until ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]'', when she set it free along with [[James's Weezing]] to protect a wild group of Ekans and {{p|Koffing}}.

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', {{Ash}} had used [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|an Arbok]] in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, against the instructor's {{p|Jolteon}}.

In ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', Arbok was one of the Pokémon used in the ''[[Sumo Conference]]''.

An Arbok was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'' and by a coordinator in ''[[AG167|What I Did For Love!]]''.

An Arbok is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have Arbok as important parts of their teams in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. In Pokémon Adventures, the pattern on an Arbok's belly may give an Arbok special abilities. With the help of Agatha's smoke, Agatha's Arbok had the ability to switch between a bunch of different patterns (see Issue 71), a speed boosting pattern, an attack boosting pattern, and a Invulnerability Pattern that repels poisons, Koga's Arbok, on the other hand, only has one pattern, which was a regenerative pattern that allows it to regenerate any part of its body as long as the head remains intact. According to Pokémon Yellow, that leaves two patterns left undiscovered (if Koga's is the standard one).

An Arbok is one of the antagonists in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]].

Jessie's Arbok appeared several times in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Arbok is part of Team AWD, a team that pursues the challenges of Zero Isle.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Team AWD are shown in the [[Team Charm]] special episode, being the major antagonists of the story. They are searching for treasure and end up fighting Team Charm once the female team hears from a passing {{p|Sentret}} how evil they are. The Sentret turned out to be a {{p|Ditto}} who was protecting a [[Time Gears|Time Gear]] and was trying to get the two teams to leave. Both teams leave when no treasure is found, leaving the Time Gear and its guardian alone.

==Trivia==
* In the most infamous [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'', Arbok was erroneously claimed to evolve into {{p|Seviper}}.
* Arbok can learn {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|Ice Fang}}, and {{m|Fire Fang}}, but not {{m|Poison Fang}}. The opposite is true of {{p|Seviper}}.
* In [[Generation I]] games, Arbok had a pair of black stripes in a pattern on its back. This never appeared in any future generation.
* The "face" pattern on Arbok's chest has subtle differences between generations. This supports Pokédex text which notes subtle differences between Arbok in different regions. The manga also supports this, as [[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have an Arbok, but their patterns are different.
** However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Arbok's chest pattern is different from its pattern in the original {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}; instead, its pattern most resembles the one from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
* Arbok is part of the Dragon egg group, and is one of the three Poison-types to ever be in this group. Its {{p|Ekans|pre-evolution}} and {{p|Seviper}} are the other two.
**Coincidentally, all three of them are based on a snake of some sort.
* In the [[Kanto Pokérap]], featured at the end of [[EP012]] of the original series, Arbok was the very last Pokémon to be mentioned.
===Origin===
It is likely that its design was based upon a cobra. However, it is also possible that there is a reference to the legendary basilisk because Arbok and its pre-evolution, {{p|Ekans}}, were originally the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Glare}}. The basilisk was a poisonous serpentine dragon (Arbok is also in the Dragon egg group) that would paralyze and kill people with its stare.
====Name origin====
Its name is the word ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards and with ''k'' instead of ''c''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Arbok - ''Kobra'' (cobra) spelled backwards.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Arbok - Replacing the ''c'' in ''cobra'' with a ''k'' and spelling it backwards.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아보크 ''Abokeu''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 阿柏怪 ''Á Bó Gůai'' - Transliteration of Arbok's Japanese name, which is also Arbok. The last character, 怪, means freak or demon.

A reptilian with purple scales over most of its body. It has lost the rattle it had on its tail as an Ekans. Like a cobra, it can spread out its ribs into a hood. On its "hood", it has a design much like an angry face. The frightening patterns on its belly have been studied. Six variations have been confirmed.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It has a nasty {{m|bite}} with {{m|toxic|deadly venom}}. Terrifically strong, it is capable of crushing opponents by coiling its body around them and {{m|Wrap|constricting}}. It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, {{a|Intimidate|intimidating}} the opponent with {{m|Glare|the frightening pattern}} on its body and making eerie sounds by expelling air from its mouth. If any part of Arbok's body except for the head is cut off, it can regrow the rest of its body again in a matter of a few weeks. It shares this trait with {{p|Onix}}. It also has the ability to detect vibrations as shown in ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]'' and ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''.

===Behavior===
Rather vicious, Arbok are territorial. They lash out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. With a vengeful nature, it won't give up a chase after prey or an opponent, no matter how far, once it targets it prey.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]

==In the anime==
[[File:Arbok anime.png|thumb|right|210px|Arbok in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Arbok]]====
[[Jessie]] had an Arbok that she obtained as an {{p|Ekans}}. It was extremely loyal to her. It was her primary battling Pokémon until ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]'', when she set it free along with [[James's Weezing]] to protect a wild group of Ekans and {{p|Koffing}}.

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', {{Ash}} had used [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|an Arbok]] in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, against the instructor's {{p|Jolteon}}.

In ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', Arbok was one of the Pokémon used in the ''[[Sumo Conference]]''.

An Arbok was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'' and by a coordinator in ''[[AG167|What I Did For Love!]]''.

An Arbok is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have Arbok as important parts of their teams in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. In Pokémon Adventures, the pattern on an Arbok's belly may give an Arbok special abilities. With the help of Agatha's smoke, Agatha's Arbok had the ability to switch between a bunch of different patterns (see Issue 71), a speed boosting pattern, an attack boosting pattern, and a Invulnerability Pattern that repels poisons, Koga's Arbok, on the other hand, only has one pattern, which was a regenerative pattern that allows it to regenerate any part of its body as long as the head remains intact. According to Pokémon Yellow, that leaves two patterns left undiscovered (if Koga's is the standard one).

An Arbok is one of the antagonists in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]].

Jessie's Arbok appeared several times in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==Trivia==
* In the most infamous [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'', Arbok was erroneously claimed to evolve into {{p|Seviper}}.
* Arbok can learn {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|Ice Fang}}, and {{m|Fire Fang}}, but not {{m|Poison Fang}}. The opposite is true of {{p|Seviper}}.
* In [[Generation I]] games, Arbok had a pair of black stripes in a pattern on its back. This never appeared in any future generation.
* The "face" pattern on Arbok's chest has subtle differences between generations. This supports Pokédex text which notes subtle differences between Arbok in different regions. The manga also supports this, as [[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have an Arbok, but their patterns are different.
** However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Arbok's chest pattern is different from its pattern in the original {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}; instead, its pattern most resembles the one from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
* Arbok is part of the Dragon egg group, and is one of the three Poison-types to ever be in this group. Its {{p|Ekans|pre-evolution}} and {{p|Seviper}} are the other two.
**Coincidentally, all three of them are based on a snake of some sort.
* In the [[Kanto Pokérap]], first featured at the end of [[EP012]] of the original series, Arbok was the very last Pokémon to be mentioned.
===Origin===
It is likely that its design was based upon a cobra. However, it is also possible that there is a reference to the legendary basilisk because Arbok and its pre-evolution, {{p|Ekans}}, were originally the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Glare}}. The basilisk was a poisonous serpentine dragon (Arbok is also in the Dragon egg group) that would paralyze and kill people with its stare.
====Name origin====
Its name is the word ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards and with ''k'' instead of ''c''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Arbok - ''Kobra'' (cobra) spelled backwards.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Arbok - Replacing the ''c'' in ''cobra'' with a ''k'' and spelling it backwards.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아보크 ''Abokeu''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 阿柏怪 ''Á Bó Gůai'' - Transliteration of Arbok's Japanese name, which is also Arbok. The last character, 怪, means freak or demon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A reptilian with purple scales over most of its body. It has lost the rattle it had on its tail as an Ekans. Like a cobra, it can spread out its ribs into a hood.

It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, {{a|Intimidate|intimidating}} the opponent with {{m|Glare|the frightening pattern}} on its body and making eerie sounds by expelling air from its mouth. If any part of Arbok's body except for the head is cut off, it can regrow the rest of its body again in a matter of a few weeks. It shares this trait with {{p|Onix}}. It also has the ability to detect vibrations as shown in ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]'' and ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''.

===Behavior===
Rather vicious, Arbok are territorial. They lash out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. With a vengeful nature, it won't give up a chase after prey or an opponent, no matter how far, once it targets it prey.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arbok anime.png|thumb|right|210px|Arbok in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Arbok]]====
[[Jessie]] had an Arbok that she obtained as an {{p|Ekans}}. It was extremely loyal to her. It was her primary battling Pokémon until ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]'', when she set it free along with [[James's Weezing]] to protect a wild group of Ekans and {{p|Koffing}}.

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', {{Ash}} had used [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|an Arbok]] in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, against the instructor's {{p|Jolteon}}.

In ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', Arbok was one of the Pokémon used in the ''[[Sumo Conference]]''.

An Arbok was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'' and by a coordinator in ''[[AG167|What I Did For Love!]]''.

An Arbok is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have Arbok as important parts of their teams in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. In Pokémon Adventures, the pattern on an Arbok's belly may give an Arbok special abilities. With the help of Agatha's smoke, Agatha's Arbok had the ability to switch between a bunch of different patterns (see Issue 71), a speed boosting pattern, an attack boosting pattern, and a Invulnerability Pattern that repels poisons, Koga's Arbok, on the other hand, only has one pattern, which was a regenerative pattern that allows it to regenerate any part of its body as long as the head remains intact. According to Pokémon Yellow, that leaves two patterns left undiscovered (if Koga's is the standard one).

An Arbok is one of the antagonists in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]].

Jessie's Arbok appeared several times in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==Trivia==
* In the most infamous [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'', Arbok was erroneously claimed to evolve into {{p|Seviper}}.
* Arbok can learn {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|Ice Fang}}, and {{m|Fire Fang}}, but not {{m|Poison Fang}}. The opposite is true of {{p|Seviper}}.
* In [[Generation I]] games, Arbok had a pair of black stripes in a pattern on its back. This never appeared in any future generation.
* The "face" pattern on Arbok's chest has subtle differences between generations. This supports Pokédex text which notes subtle differences between Arbok in different regions. The manga also supports this, as [[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have an Arbok, but their patterns are different.
** However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Arbok's chest pattern is different from its pattern in the original {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}; instead, its pattern most resembles the one from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
* Arbok is part of the Dragon egg group, and is one of the three Poison-types to ever be in this group. Its {{p|Ekans|pre-evolution}} and {{p|Seviper}} are the other two.
**Coincidentally, all three of them are based on a snake of some sort.
* In the Kanto Pokérap, first featured at the end of episode twelve of the original series, Arbok was the very last Pokémon to be mentioned.
===Origin===
It is likely that its design was based upon a cobra. However, it is also possible that there is a reference to the legendary basilisk because Arbok and its pre-evolution, {{p|Ekans}}, were originally the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Glare}}. The basilisk was a poisonous serpentine dragon (Arbok is also in the Dragon egg group) that would paralyze and kill people with its stare.
====Name origin====
Its name is the word ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards and with ''k'' instead of ''c''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Arbok - ''Kobra'' (cobra) spelled backwards.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Arbok - Replacing the ''c'' in ''cobra'' with a ''k'' and spelling it backwards.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아보크 ''Abokeu''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 阿柏怪 ''Á Bó Gůai'' - Transliteration of Arbok's Japanese name, which is also Arbok. The last character, 怪, means freak or demon.

'''Arbok''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーボック''' ''Arbok'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ekans}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A reptilian with purple scales over most of its body. It has lost the rattle it had on its tail as an Ekans. Like a cobra, it can spread out its ribs into a hood. On its "hood", it has a design much like an angry face. The frightening patterns on its belly have been studied. Six variations have been confirmed.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It has a nasty {{m|bite}} with {{m|toxic|deadly venom}}. Terrifically strong, it is capable of crushing opponents by coiling its body around them and {{m|Wrap|constricting}}. It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, {{a|Intimidate|intimidating}} the opponent with {{m|Glare|the frightening pattern}} on its body and making eerie sounds by expelling air from its mouth. If any part of Arbok's body except for the head is cut off, it can regrow the rest of its body again in a matter of a few weeks. It shares this trait with {{p|Onix}}. It also has the ability to detect vibrations as shown in ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]'' and ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''.

===Behavior===
Rather vicious, Arbok are territorial. They lash out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. With a vengeful nature, it won't give up a chase after prey or an opponent, no matter how far, once it targets it prey.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Arbok live in grassy savannas and plains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

In the wild, Arbok are hunters of smaller Pokémon, using the pattern on its hood to immoblize prey and using its venom to finish them off.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arbok anime.png|thumb|right|210px|Arbok in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Arbok]]====
[[Jessie]] had an Arbok that she obtained as an {{p|Ekans}}. It was extremely loyal to her. It was her primary battling Pokémon until ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]'', when she set it free along with [[James's Weezing]] to protect a wild group of Ekans and {{p|Koffing}}.

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', {{Ash}} had used [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|an Arbok]] in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, against the instructor's {{p|Jolteon}}.

In ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', Arbok was one of the Pokémon used in the ''[[Sumo Conference]]''.

An Arbok was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'' and by a coordinator in ''[[AG167|What I Did For Love!]]''.

An Arbok is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have Arbok as important parts of their teams in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. In Pokémon Adventures, the pattern on an Arbok's belly may give an Arbok special abilities. With the help of Agatha's smoke, Agatha's Arbok had the ability to switch between a bunch of different patterns (see Issue 71), a speed boosting pattern, an attack boosting pattern, and a Invulnerability Pattern that repels poisons, Koga's Arbok, on the other hand, only has one pattern, which was a regenerative pattern that allows it to regenerate any part of its body as long as the head remains intact. According to Pokémon Yellow, that leaves two patterns left undiscovered (if Koga's is the standard one).

An Arbok is one of the antagonists in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]].

Jessie's Arbok appeared several times in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==Trivia==
* In the most infamous [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'', Arbok was erroneously claimed to evolve into {{p|Seviper}}.
* Arbok can learn {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|Ice Fang}}, and {{m|Fire Fang}}, but not {{m|Poison Fang}}. The opposite is true of {{p|Seviper}}.
* In [[Generation I]] games, Arbok had a pair of black stripes in a pattern on its back. This never appeared in any future generation.
* The "face" pattern on Arbok's chest has subtle differences between generations. This supports Pokédex text which notes subtle differences between Arbok in different regions. The manga also supports this, as [[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have an Arbok, but their patterns are different.
** However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Arbok's chest pattern is different from its pattern in the original {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}; instead, its pattern most resembles the one from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
* Arbok is part of the Dragon egg group, and is one of the three Poison-types to ever be in this group. Its {{p|Ekans|pre-evolution}} and {{p|Seviper}} are the other two.
**Coincidentally, all three of them are based on a snake of some sort.
* In the {{p|Kanto Pokérap}}, first featured at the end of {{p|EP012}}, Arbok was the very last Pokémon to be mentioned.
===Origin===
It is likely that its design was based upon a cobra. However, it is also possible that there is a reference to the legendary basilisk because Arbok and its pre-evolution, {{p|Ekans}}, were originally the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Glare}}. The basilisk was a poisonous serpentine dragon (Arbok is also in the Dragon egg group) that would paralyze and kill people with its stare.
====Name origin====
Its name is the word ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards and with ''k'' instead of ''c''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Arbok - ''Kobra'' (cobra) spelled backwards.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Arbok - Replacing the ''c'' in ''cobra'' with a ''k'' and spelling it backwards.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아보크 ''Abokeu''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 阿柏怪 ''Á Bó Gůai'' - Transliteration of Arbok's Japanese name, which is also Arbok. The last character, 怪, means freak or demon.

'''Arbok''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーボック''' ''Arbok'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ekans}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A reptilian with purple scales over most of its body. It has lost the rattle it had on its tail as an Ekans. Like a cobra, it can spread out its ribs into a hood. On its "hood", it has a design much like an angry face. The frightening patterns on its belly have been studied. Six variations have been confirmed.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It has a nasty {{m|bite}} with {{m|toxic|deadly venom}}. Terrifically strong, it is capable of crushing opponents by coiling its body around them and {{m|Wrap|constricting}}. It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, {{a|Intimidate|intimidating}} the opponent with {{m|Glare|the frightening pattern}} on its body and making eerie sounds by expelling air from its mouth. If any part of Arbok's body except for the head is cut off, it can regrow the rest of its body again in a matter of a few weeks. It shares this trait with {{p|Onix}}. It also has the ability to detect vibrations as shown in ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]'' and ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]''.

===Behavior===
Rather vicious, Arbok are territorial. They lash out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. With a vengeful nature, it won't give up a chase after prey or an opponent, no matter how far, once it targets it prey.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Arbok live in grassy savannas and plains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

In the wild, Arbok are hunters of smaller Pokémon, using the pattern on its hood to immoblize prey and using its venom to finish them off.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arbok anime.png|thumb|right|210px|Arbok in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Arbok]]====
[[Jessie]] had an Arbok that she obtained as an {{p|Ekans}}. It was extremely loyal to her. It was her primary battling Pokémon until ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego]]'', when she set it free along with [[James's Weezing]] to protect a wild group of Ekans and {{p|Koffing}}.

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', {{Ash}} had used [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|an Arbok]] in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, against the instructor's {{p|Jolteon}}.

In ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', Arbok was one of the Pokémon used in the ''[[Sumo Conference]]''.

An Arbok was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'' and by a coordinator in ''[[AG167|What I Did For Love!]]''.

An Arbok is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have Arbok as important parts of their teams in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. In Pokémon Adventures, the pattern on an Arbok's belly may give an Arbok special abilities. With the help of Agatha's smoke, Agatha's Arbok had the ability to switch between a bunch of different patterns (see Issue 71), a speed boosting pattern, an attack boosting pattern, and a Invulnerability Pattern that repels poisons, Koga's Arbok, on the other hand, only has one pattern, which was a regenerative pattern that allows it to regenerate any part of its body as long as the head remains intact. According to Pokémon Yellow, that leaves two patterns left undiscovered (if Koga's is the standard one).

An Arbok is one of the antagonists in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]].

Jessie's Arbok appeared several times in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

Both teams leave when no treasure is found, leaving the Time Gear and its guardian alone.

==Trivia==
* In the most infamous [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'', Arbok was erroneously claimed to evolve into {{p|Seviper}}.
* Arbok can learn {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|Ice Fang}}, and {{m|Fire Fang}}, but not {{m|Poison Fang}}. The opposite is true of {{p|Seviper}}.
* In [[Generation I]] games, Arbok had a pair of black stripes in a pattern on its back. This never appeared in any future generation.
* The "face" pattern on Arbok's chest has subtle differences between generations. This supports Pokédex text which notes subtle differences between Arbok in different regions. The manga also supports this, as [[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have an Arbok, but their patterns are different.
** However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Arbok's chest pattern is different from its pattern in the original {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}; instead, its pattern most resembles the one from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
* Arbok is part of the Dragon egg group, and is one of the three Poison-types to ever be in this group. Its {{p|Ekans|pre-evolution}} and {{p|Seviper}} are the other two.
**Coincidentally, all three of them are based on a snake of some sort.
* In the {{p|Kanto Pokérap|Original Pokérap}}, first featured at the end of episode {{p|EP012|12}}, Arbok was the very last Pokémon to be mentioned.
===Origin===
It is likely that its design was based upon a cobra. However, it is also possible that there is a reference to the legendary basilisk because Arbok and its pre-evolution, {{p|Ekans}}, were originally the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Glare}}. The basilisk was a poisonous serpentine dragon (Arbok is also in the Dragon egg group) that would paralyze and kill people with its stare.
====Name origin====
Its name is the word ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards and with ''k'' instead of ''c''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Arbok - ''Kobra'' (cobra) spelled backwards.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Arbok - Replacing the ''c'' in ''cobra'' with a ''k'' and spelling it backwards.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아보크 ''Abokeu''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 阿柏怪 ''Á Bó Gůai'' - Transliteration of Arbok's Japanese name, which is also Arbok. The last character, 怪, means freak or demon.

Hi there! In case you aren't aware (which you probably aren't), MotPlushie is short for Master of the Plushies, which is my username on Gaia Online. I am a huge fan of Pokémon, having watched it since the age of about four, and right now I am watching the full series over again, mostly to refresh my memory.
That's about all I'm going to put for now, but I'll be sure to get back here soon and add a few new sections.
