Spiritomb (Japanese: ミカルゲ Mikaruge) is a dual-type Ghost/Dark Pokémon, so, like Sableye, has no weaknesses.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Spiritomb resembles a swirling, purple vortex with green, varying in size orbs of 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/gray stone, the Odd Keystone, in which it was trapped after doing bad deeds 500 years ago. 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/Ghost type, Sableye. However, Spiritomb is much stronger than Sableye both offensively and defensively, albeit slightly slower. Spiritomb's movepool lacks most of Sableye's attacking options. However, Spiritomb can use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact, Hypnosis and Dream Eater, Destiny Bond, Imprison, Grudge, and Ominous Wind. Like most Ghost-types, it can also use Will-O-Wisp. Like Sableye, Spiritomb also has no type weaknesses unless subjected to Foresight, Odor Sleuth, or the move user has the ability Scrappy. Spiritomb is immune to Template:Type2 energies unless the user is under the effect of Miracle Eye.
Behavior
Spiritomb are thought to be evil Pokémon. They tend to go on destructive rampages like Gyarados. It is said to act as a hive-mind, with all of the souls that comprise it acting in unison towards the same goal.
Habitat
Spiritomb are entrapped in Odd Keystones and must be brought to the Hallowed Tower to be awakened. Some, as indicated in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, also live in caves.

Trivia
- Spiritomb is the second out of five Pokémon in National Pokédex order to have no weakness, the others being Sableye, Shibishirasu, Shibibiiru, and Shibirudon (excluding when under the effects of Odor Sleuth or Foresight).
- Due to this, before the introduction of Generation V, and the fact that Spiritomb has higher stats than Sableye, it is common for hackers to make a Spiritomb with Wonder Guard.
- Spiritomb has been shown levitating, but cannot have the ability.
- In Pokémon Diamond, Spiritomb's entry states that it was formed from 108 spirits, Spiritomb's number in the Sinnoh Pokédex is 108, its Defense and Special Defense base values are 108, and it weighs exactly 108.0 kilograms. It also explicitly states this in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, when it shouts "We are SPIRITOMB! We are made from a fusion of spirits! One hundred and EIGHT of them!" This is based on the number of temptations a person must overcome to reach Nirvana in Buddhism, implying that Spiritomb couldn't resist the temptations, so was bound to a stone.
- As of Black and White, all methods of obtaining Spiritomb in the main games (discounting breeding) involve connecting with another device (another player's Nintendo DS or the Pokéwalker).
- While it is composed of multiple souls, it is gendered. This could mean that every soul composing a Spiritomb have the same gender.
- All of Spiritomb's Pokédex entries mention the fact that it is bound to the Odd Keystone.
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.
