Evolution
Trivia
Ekans was originally going to use its Japanese name,"Arbo", as its English name.
Origin
It appears to be based upon a boa and rattlesnake.
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.
