'''Spiritomb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ミカルゲ''' ''Mikaruge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].


It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.  
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Although lacking a physical body, Spiritomb projects its appearance out of a small rock called the [[Odd Keystone]]. The rock is trapezoidal in shape and has two small dots. There is a crack running down the middle, splitting in two near the bottom. The crack in combination with the two dots appears to form a frowning face. Spiritomb's projected appearance is an ethereal composition of swirling purple fog. Its face is set in the middle of the fog and contains green, crescent eyes that are connected to its jagged mouth. Its pupils are composed of a spiral and it is sometimes only seen with one. Swirling around its face are green orbs with yellow centers.
Spiritomb resembles a swirling, purple vortex with green, varying in size orbs of light circling the face. It has a green mouth with a crooked expression and two green eyes shaped like half-crescents. One of the eyes has a spiral-shaped pupil. Spiritomb is attached to a light-brown/gray stone, the [[Odd Keystone]], in which it was trapped after doing bad deeds 500 years ago. It is apparently composed of 108 separate, yet bound-together, malevolent spirits.


====Gender differences====
Spiritomb is formed by the collection of 108 spirits being trapped in an Odd Keystone due to misdeeds. Some Spiritomb are up to 500 years old. As seen in [[DP056|the anime]], Spiritomb can be just as aggressive and destructive as the spirits that it is composed of. It will lash out at anyone with little thought, often exercising short sightedness in its pursuit of vengeance.
None.


====Special abilities====
==In the anime==
Spiritomb's abilities are similar to its fellow {{2t|Dark|Ghost}}, {{p|Sableye}}. However, Spiritomb is much stronger than Sableye both offensively and defensively, albeit slightly slower. Spiritomb's movepool lacks most of Sableye's attacking options. However, Spiritomb can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Grudge}}, and {{m|Ominous Wind}}. Like most Ghost-types, it can also use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Like {{p|Sableye}}, Spiritomb also has no type weaknesses unless subjected to {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or the move user has the ability {{a|Scrappy}}. Spiritomb is immune to {{type2|Psychic}} energies unless the user is under the effect of {{m|Miracle Eye}}.

===Major appearances===
Spiritomb debuted in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{AP|Buizel}} were having a training match with {{an|Dawn}} and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} when Buizel accidentally knocked down [[Hallowed Tower]], upon which Spiritomb emerged from the tower's [[Odd Keystone|keystone]]. It then wreaked havoc on a nearby town.


===Behavior===
===Minor appearances===
Spiritomb are thought to be evil Pokémon. They tend to go on destructive rampages like {{p|Gyarados}}. It is said to act as a hive-mind, with all of the souls that comprise it acting in unison towards the same goal.
 
===Habitat===
Spiritomb are entrapped in [[Odd Keystone]]s and must be brought to the [[Hallowed Tower]] to be awakened. Some, as indicated in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], also live in caves.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Spiritomb is the second out of two Pokémon in National Pokédex order to have no weakness (excluding when under the effects of {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}}). The first is {{p|Sableye}}.
* Its {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and SoulSilver}} Pokédex entries state that it was formed from 108 spirits. Spiritomb's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] is 108, its Defense and Special Defense base values are 108, and it weighs exactly 108.0&nbsp;kg. In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} it can be found at [[Sea Mauville]], which lies on {{rt|108|Hoenn}}. In [[Pokémon GO]], Spiritomb is encountered at the end of a research quest involving feeding 108 {{Berries}} to Pokémon and catching 108 Pokémon. All of this is based on the number of temptations a person must overcome to reach {{wp|Nirvana}} in {{wp|Buddhism}}.
**Due to this, and the fact that Spiritomb has higher stats than Sableye, it is common for [[cheating|hackers]] to make a Spiritomb with {{a|Wonder Guard}}.
* Prior to the introduction of the {{t|Fairy}} type in [[Generation VI]], Spiritomb was one of only two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that had no weakness (without the aid of an Ability) along with {{p|Sableye}}. As this occurred without the aid of an [[Ability]], it was commonly hacked to have the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}, making it immune to all direct damage. This hack is commonly referred to as [[Wondertomb]].
**When used with Wonder Guard, for some reason, [[Fire Fang]] can hit it, but no other move (even other Fire attacks) can. This may be a reference to the [[Shedinja]] weakness to Fire.
* Spiritomb has been shown {{a|Levitate|levitating}}, but cannot have the ability.
* In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]], Spiritomb's entry states that it was formed from 108 spirits, Spiritomb's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] is 108, its Defense and Special Defense base values are 108, and it weighs exactly 108.0 kilograms. It also explicitly states this in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, when it shouts "We are SPIRITOMB! We are made from a fusion of spirits! One hundred and EIGHT of them!" This is based on the number of temptations a person must overcome to reach Nirvana in Buddhism, implying that Spiritomb couldn't resist the temptations, so was bound to [[Odd Keystone|a stone]].
* As of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all methods of obtaining Spiritomb in the main games (discounting {{pkmn|breeding}}) involve connecting with another device (another player's [[Nintendo DS]] or the [[Pokéwalker]]).
* While it is composed of multiple souls, it is gendered. This could mean that every soul composing a spiritomb have the same gender.
* All of Spiritomb's Pokédex entries mention the fact that it is bound to the [[Odd Keystone]].
* Despite its artwork only showing one spiral eye both the anime and [[Pokémon Adventures]] show it having two.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It also based on a {{wp|Buddhist}} tradition performed on {{wp|New Year's Eve}} in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve Nirvana.

A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve {{wp|Nirvana (Buddhism)|Nirvana}}. The wisps of spirits surrounding its face also resemble a set of prayer beads, a possible reference to {{wp|Japa}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|crystal ball}}.
 
Spiritomb may also be based on ''{{wp|Water Margin}}'', one of the {{wp|Classic Chinese Novels}}, which is also very well known in Japan. In the first chapter of the novel, a foolish army marshal orders the removal of a stone monument which had been guarded by monks for generations. Doing so releases the spirits of 108 demons sealed therein. These 108 souls, having atoned for their sins, become the {{wp|108 Stars of Destiny}}. They are reincarnated centuries later as 108 outlaws, the heroes of the novel.


Similarly, the provenance of Spiritomb probably arises from the Chinese novel, {{wp|Water Margin}}, whose opening chapter begins with the release of 108 spirits. This draws heavy parallels with the release of Spiritomb, comprised of 108 spirits according to the Pokédex, from the Odd Keystone.
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Spiritomb's name is derived from ''spirit'' and ''tomb''. Its Japanese name may come from 甕 ''mika'', meaning ''jar'' or ''urn'', referring to it being a container of souls; and 軽石 ''karuishi'', ''{{wp|pumice}}'', or 御影石 ''mikageishi'', {{wp|granite}}, referring to its base, the Odd Keystone.
Spiritomb is a combination of ''spirit'' and ''tomb''.
 
Mikaruge may be a combination of 甕 ''mika'' (jar or urn, referring to it being a container of souls) and 軽石 ''karuishi'' ({{wp|pumice}}) or 御影石 ''mikageishi'' ({{wp|granite}}; both refer to its base, the Odd Keystone).

Spiritomb (Japanese: ミカルゲ Mikaruge) is a dual-type Ghost/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Although lacking a physical body, Spiritomb projects its appearance out of a small rock called the Odd Keystone. The rock is trapezoidal in shape and has two small dots. There is a crack running down the middle, splitting in two near the bottom. The crack in combination with the two dots appears to form a frowning face. Spiritomb's projected appearance is an ethereal composition of swirling purple fog. Its face is set in the middle of the fog and contains green, crescent eyes that are connected to its jagged mouth. Its pupils are composed of a spiral and it is sometimes only seen with one. Swirling around its face are green orbs with yellow centers.

Spiritomb is formed by the collection of 108 spirits being trapped in an Odd Keystone due to misdeeds. Some Spiritomb are up to 500 years old. As seen in the anime, Spiritomb can be just as aggressive and destructive as the spirits that it is composed of. It will lash out at anyone with little thought, often exercising short sightedness in its pursuit of vengeance.

Trivia

Origin

Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It is also based on a Buddhist tradition performed on New Year's Eve in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve Nirvana. The wisps of spirits surrounding its face also resemble a set of prayer beads, a possible reference to Japa. It may also be based on a crystal ball.

Spiritomb may also be based on Water Margin, one of the Classic Chinese Novels, which is also very well known in Japan. In the first chapter of the novel, a foolish army marshal orders the removal of a stone monument which had been guarded by monks for generations. Doing so releases the spirits of 108 demons sealed therein. These 108 souls, having atoned for their sins, become the 108 Stars of Destiny. They are reincarnated centuries later as 108 outlaws, the heroes of the novel.

Name origin

Spiritomb is a combination of spirit and tomb.

Mikaruge may be a combination of 甕 mika (jar or urn, referring to it being a container of souls) and 軽石 karuishi (pumice) or 御影石 mikageishi (granite; both refer to its base, the Odd Keystone).
