'''Galvantula''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンチュラ''' ''Dentula'') is a {{2t|Bug|Electric}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Joltik}} starting at [[level]] 36.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Galvantula are hairy yellow and blue spiders. They appear to have six blue eyes, four of which are small and are located in the middle of their foreheads between two larger eyes which have pupils. They have a jagged purple stripe on their backs; their underside is also purple. Their connecting leg segments, as well as their single-toed feet, are dark blue in coloration. Spiky, hairy blue features fringe their abdomens.<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Galvantula are capable of producing {{m|Electroweb|thread tinged with electricity}}, which it uses to capture their prey, both electrocuting and immobilizing the target.<br />
<br />
Galvantula are also capable of using the move {{m|Spider Web}}, which was formerly exclusive to the {{p|Spinarak}} evolution line.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
<br />
Galvantula are hunters, trapping their prey with electricity-charged threads, then slowly devouring the captured prey<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Galvantula anime.png|220px|thumb|right|Galvantula in the anime]]<br />
===Major appearances===<br />
A swarm of Galvantula made its debut in ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild]]'', where they attacked Ash's newly hatched {{AP|Scraggy}}.<br />
<br />
===Minor appearances===<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
Galvantula was first seen destroying a [[BW Agency]] shoot, and attacked five people. This Galvantula was defeated by Black, who was blamed for the crime, and was caught and added to his team, nicknaming it Tula. It is later revealed that Tula used to belong to another trainer but was released after one of [[Team Plasma]]'s speeches, which is why it was so hostile when it was in the wild.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type-combination]] as Galvantula and its {{p|Joltik|pre-evolution}}. <br />
* No other Pokémon has a base stat total of 472.<br />
* Joltik and Galvantula are the only Pokémon capable of having the {{a|Unnerve}} ability that do not have it as their Hidden Ability.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Galvantula is based on a {{wp|tarantula}}, or a {{wp|jumping spider}}. <br />
====Name origin====<br />
''Galvantula'' is a portmanteau of the words ''{{wp|galvanization}}'' and ''tarantula''. ''Dentula'' is likely a combination of 電気 ''denki'', electricity, or 電柱 ''denchū'', lightpole, and タランチュラ ''taranchura'', tarantula. May also tie in with ''chū'', an alternate reading of 虫 ''mushi'', meaning bug.<br />
<br />
==In other languages==<br />
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Voltula - From ''{{wp|Volt}}'' and ''tarantula''.<br />
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mygavolt<br />
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 전툴라 ''Jeontulla''<br />
