Galvantula (Japanese: デンチュラ Dentula) is a dual-type Bug/Electric Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves from Joltik starting at level 36.
Biology
Galvantula's body consists of a head and abdomen. Its head is yellow on top and light purple on the bottom. It has two large, blue, forward-facing eyes with black pupils, and four, smaller, simple eyes sitting in a 2x2 pattern on its forehead. It has two long pedipalps connected from the underside of its head, which are blue and hairless on their lower half and covered in thick yellow fur on the upper half. Galvantula's body is covered in yellow and light purple fur on top with blue fur under its abdomen. Four tufts of hair sprout from under its abdomen and grow upward. Two large tufts sprout from the left and right of the rear, while two smaller ones sprout from each side. The fur on its back is light purple and with three thick, yellow stripes running up from its rear. Despite being based on a spider, Galvantula has only four legs. Each leg is connected to the head by a blue upper half. The lower half is covered in yellow fur and forms a bell-shape over its blue, conical feet.
Galvantula, and its pre-evolution Joltik, are the only Pokémon that can learn Electroweb by leveling up. Galvantula in particular likes to use electrically charged silk to ensnare prey. The electricity stuns the victim, allowing Galvantula to consume the target at its leisure. Its pedipalps are very strong, allowing Galvantula to hold down unruly prey. It also uses electric webs to defend itself from threats. As seen in the anime, Galvantula is not particularly aggressive unless provoked. If bothered, it may attack in groups. It has been shown to be extremely caring and protective of its pre-evolution, Joltik, and will aggressively find ways to help it.
In the anime
Major appearances
Multiple Galvantula debuted in Scraggy—Hatched to be Wild!, where they attacked Ash's newly hatched Scraggy.
Multiple Galvantula appeared in Crisis at Chargestone Cave!. They and a swarm of Joltik were residents of Chargestone Cave, where they fed off on its electricity. However, they began stealing electricity from Pokémon and objects to feed on because the rocks in the Chargestone Cave that they normally fed on were being stolen by Team Rocket. They reappeared in a flashback in Battling the Bully!.
A Galvantula appeared in Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot! as a test specimen of Colress's. It appeared to be one of Colress' favorites, as he called it his "star test subject", but passed out when Colress attempted to increase the intensity of the EM waves. After it recovered, it was forced to fight Pikachu and Axew. It was eventually released from Colress's control when Team Rocket stole his data and deactivated the machine.
A Galvantula appeared in Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!, where it played a major role.
A Galvantula appeared in Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!, under the ownership of Teaque. It was used in Teaque's battle against Ash in the Marine Cup Tournament, where it battled Pikachu in the finals. It was defeated by him, but not before knocking out the ship's electricity as part of Teaque's strategy.
Minor appearances
A Galvantula appeared in Emolga the Irresistible!, where it attacked Ash, Cilan, and Bianca.
A Galvantula appeared in Jostling for the Junior Cup!, under the ownership of Shepherd. It battled Cilan and his Pansage in the first round of the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup, but it was soon defeated.
