Trivia

  • Skorupi is the only Pokémon to have its Bug type changed upon evolution.
  • Skorupi is the only Pokémon with the Bug/Poison combination to have Poison as its primary type.
  • Skorupi and Drapion are the only Generation IV Pokémon to have an insectoid body.

Origin

Skorupi is based on a scorpion. It has some characteristics that resemble a vinegarroon, a similar arachnid. Its Water 3 Egg Group designation may be a reference to the ancient group of arthropods known as sea scorpions that used to inhabit the oceans and may have been the ancestors of modern scorpions.

Name origin

Skorupi and Scorupi are a shortening of scorpion.
