Trivia
- Spinarak was originally purple in Gold and Silver. This is not the case in Crystal and later generations.
- However, its original Ken Sugimori artwork is green. Its coloration in Gold and Silver could be attributed to its only appearing at night.
- Spinarak can be seen as a parallel to Ledyba. Both of them are Bug-type Generation II Pokémon. Spinarak is exclusive to Pokémon Gold and HeartGold, while Ledyba is exclusive to Pokémon Silver and SoulSilver. Spinarak are nocturnal, while Ledyba are matutinal. Additionally, their rarity is also reversed, with Spinarak being more common in Pokémon FireRed, and Ledyba in Pokémon LeafGreen. Both were also added to the expanded Safari Zone in Emerald, and both can only be obtained by breeding their evolved forms in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black, and White. Additionally, in Black 2 its evolution swarms on Route 22 while Ledyba's evolution does so in White 2.
Origin
Spinarak shares coloring and appearance with the Happy Face Spider, an arachnid from Hawaii that seems to have a face on its abdomen.
Name origin
Spinarak is a combination of spinneret (where a spider excretes silk from) or spin (the Dutch word for spider) and arachnid. Spinarak is also the Afrikaans word for spider web.
Itomaru may be a combination of 糸 ito (thread) and 丸 maru (circle) or a shortening of 巻き上がる makiagaru (to roll up).
