From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Dewpider (Japanese: シズクモ Shizukumo) is a dual-type Water/Bug Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
It evolves into Araquanid starting at level 22.
Biology
Dewpider is a Pokémon resembling a spider. Its body is primarily light green with six thin, green legs, three of which are used to anchor a water bubble that covers its head, and a gray abdomen with a small spinneret on the bottom. The anime has shown that it can produce both silk and water bubbles from this spinneret. Dewpider has a large, gray face with large blue oval-shaped eyes. It has two small blue spikes on its forehead and a yellow mouth.
Dewpider can only breath oxygen dissolved in water. The bubble serves as a means of protection to Dewpider's soft head and allows it to breathe when on land. When this Pokémon comes across enemies or potential prey, it slams its bubble-covered head into them. When meeting another of its kind, the bubbles are compared and the one with the smaller bubble gets out of the other's way.

Major appearances
Multiple Dewpider debuted in SM071, where they were finding their home ordered by an Araquanid. One Dewpider got separated from the group and came across Lana. Upon seeing Lana with a balloon on her head from Popplio, it developed a crush on her. It then tried to find a new home, eventually finding one near the Pokémon School, but had to battle a wild Surskit that already lived there. Dewpider lost the battle, but when Surskit evolved into Masquerain, it happily abandoned its home and flew off, allowing Dewpider to live there.

Both share the Water and Bug types and the same base stat total of 269, both evolve at the same level, and both can be found at Brooklet Hill in Pokémon Sun and Moon, taking the place of the other depending on the time, with Dewpider being found during the day and Surskit at night.
Origin

Name origin
Dewpider may be a combination of dew and spider.
Shizukumo may be a combination of 滴 shizuku (drop) and 蜘蛛 kumo (spider).
