Pokédex entries

Pokémon Red and Blue
Moves silently and stealthily. Eats the eggs of birds, such as Pidgey and Spearow, whole.
Pokémon Yellow
The older it gets, the longer it grows. At night, it wraps its long body around tree branches to rest.
Pokémon Stadium
Slithers silently through grass, searching for its favorite food--Pidgey and Spearow eggs.
Pokémon Gold
It can freely detach its jaw to swallow large prey whole. It can become too heavy to move, however.
Pokémon Silver
It always hides in grass. When first born, it has no poison, so its bite is painful, but harmless.
Pokémon Crystal
It flutters the tip of its tongue to seek out the scent of prey, then swallows the prey whole.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
Ekans curls itself up in a spiral while it rests. Assuming this position allows it to quickly respond to a threat from any direction with a glare from its upraised head.
Pokémon Emerald
An Ekans curls itself up in a spiral while it rests. This position allows it to quickly respond to an enemy from any direction with a threat from its upraised head.
Pokémon FireRed
A very common sight in grassland, etc. It flicks its tongue in and out to sense danger in its surroundings.

Name origin

Ekans's name is snake spelled backwards. Arbo is cobra spelled backwards with the c removed. When the kana in its name is reversed, however, it becomes a slightly corrupted boa.

It appears to be based upon a boa and rattlesnake.

Ekans was originally going to use its Japanese name,"Arbo", as its English name.
