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

The Odd Keystone

Spiritomb "running" in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Spiritomb is a ghostly purple Pokémon attached to a stone. 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 fissure 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 energy of an unknown kind. Its face is set in the middle of the purple, 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 a collection of 108 spirits, some of which are ill-natured. This collection of spirits is known for its misdeeds; thus, as punishment, the spirits were trapped to its Odd Keystone by a traveler using a mysterious spell. Several Pokédex entries state that Spiritomb was sealed roughly 500 years before the present time. The Pokémon lays curses with its wicked thoughts. It will lash out at anyone with little thought, often exercising short-sightedness in its pursuit of vengeance. It is rarely encountered in the wild. In most media, Spiritomb moves its body primarily through telepathy and the ability to float; though in the core series games, it can only appear to do so through dragging the Odd Keystone across the ground.

Spiritomb is able to control and interact through the Odd Keystone without manifesting its ghostly appearance, seemingly able to emit an eerie presence in the absence of a Keystone; as found in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire at Sea Mauville. It will stalk the player upon entering a specific room on the ship with the message "It feels as though you’re being watched...", appearing behind the player and battling them through the Odd Keystone the moment the screen fades from black, provided the player is in the very top left of the room. Papers in the room state that it was donated from the Oreburgh Mine, suggesting that several Odd Keystones meant to contain Spiritomb can be found in the Underground of Sinnoh. Professor Cozmo's father, Raizoh, was responsible for misplacing it when working on the ship.^[1]

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Spiritomb's 108 spirits appear in the form of Wisps, small purple entities scattered across the Hisui region after a seal was broken. When 107 Wisps have been taken to a large Odd Keystone shrine at the Crimson Mirelands' Shrouded Ruins as per Vessa's request, she will provide the player with the final Wisp and disappear, where a wild Spiritomb will appear. This may imply that Spiritomb, (or otherwise, a single of its spirits) have the power to directly affect or possess those in the world of the living.

On the occasion that a wild Spiritomb is found as an Alpha Pokémon through a Massive Mass Outbreak in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, its eyes on both its actual face, as well as the entire "face" within the Odd Keystone will glow a deep red.

As depicted in The Keystone Pops!, Spiritomb can be just as aggressive and destructive as the spirits that it is composed of. The Spectral Express! also revealed that anyone possessed by one of Spiritomb's spirits will start to cause misdeeds, and their face will eventually start to resemble Spiritomb. Losing one of these spirits will cause Spiritomb to go on an uncontrollable rampage until the lost spirit is returned.

NPC appearances

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: A Spiritomb is the boss of Sealed Ruin. He captures Grovyle and the player must battle the Spiritomb to free him.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: A Spiritomb was ordered by Dusknoir to hold Celebi hostage in the depths of Icicle Forest to lure Grovyle into the center of the electric field. This Spiritomb is likely to be the same one from Sealed Ruin.
Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia: A Spiritomb is the boss the first time the player goes through the Chroma Ruins. It also appears as the second boss of the Capture Arena.

Major appearances

Spiritomb debuted in The Keystone Pops!. Ash and Buizel were having a training match with Dawn and Aipom when Buizel accidentally knocked down Hallowed Tower, upon which Spiritomb emerged from the tower's keystone. It then wreaked havoc on a nearby town until Ash succeeded in defeating and resealing it.

A Spiritomb appeared in The Spectral Express!. When Ash touched its keystone, one of its spirits entered his body and possessed him into doing mischievous deeds. Angered by this, Spiritomb went on a rampage until the lost spirit was returned to it. It reappeared in a flashback in The Winding Path to Greatness!.

In Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!, Cynthia used her Spiritomb in her Masters Eight Tournament match against Ash. It battled Dragonite and Gengar, defeating them both before losing to Pikachu, although not without taking him down with it thanks to Destiny Bond.

Pokémon Adventures

A Spiritomb first appeared in Ring Around the Roserade II, under the ownership of Cynthia. It helped Platinum train for her upcoming Gym challenge against Gardenia. With her Psychic abilities, she was able to seal Tru's Razor Leaf alongside Prinplup's Water attack and used them to save Rad Rickshaw, inadvertently getting Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum a set of bicycles when Rad mistook them as his helpers. Spiritomb was later used against Cyrus, where she defeated his Honchkrow, but was then defeated by Weavile.

Trivia

Spiritomb is heavily associated with the number 108, a number considered sacred in Indian religions.
- Several of its Pokédex entries state that it was formed from 108 spirits.
- Its number in the Sinnoh Pokédex is 108.
- Its Defense and Special Defense base stats are both 108.
- It weighs exactly 108.0 kg.
- In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it can be found at Sea Mauville, which lies on Route 108.
- In Pokémon GO, it is encountered at the end of a Special Research quest involving feeding 108 Berries to Pokémon and catching 108 Pokémon.
- In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it is encountered at the end of a request in which the player must gather 108 wisps scattered throughout Hisui.
Prior to the introduction of the Fairy type in Generation VI, Spiritomb had no weaknesses under normal conditions. It shared this distinction with Sableye.
As of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the main body of Spiritomb's model is opaque, and its normals (the direction of the model's faces) are flipped. Due to backface culling, the outside can be seen through, but the inside cannot, allowing for its green orbs (which are three-dimensional and swirl within its body) to be seen with an opaque background from any angle. This is in contrast to previous 3D games, in which Spiritomb's main body is slightly transparent and has normals pointing outwards. The difference can be most easily seen when viewing Spiritomb from the side.

Uniquely, because of this, whenever Spiritomb is Terastallized, the souls gain the crystal look, not the swirls.

Nob Ogasawara, the translator of the Pokémon games to English, had suggested "Phantomb" for Spiritomb's English name, although it was not accepted by Nintendo of America.^[2]

Origin

Spiritomb may be based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place, or a Deildegast, a Norwegian folklore spirit that is forced to haul around a boundary stone as punishment for moving one while it was alive. It might also be based on a Buddhist tradition performed on New Year's Eve in Japan in which 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.

Spiritomb may also be based on Water Margin, one of the Classic Chinese Novels, which is also very well known in Japan. In the novel's first chapter, a foolish army marshal orders the removal of a stone monument guarded by monks for generations, causing the spirits of 108 demons sealed therein to be released. 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 may be a combination of spirit and tomb. It may also be a play on the Latin spiritum.

Mikaruge may be a combination of 御影石 mikageishi (granite) and 軽石 karuishi (pumice). It may also involve karma.

+'''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]].
-'''Spiritomb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ミカルゲ''' ''Mikaruge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} Pokémon.
 It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.
 ==Biology==
-===Physiology===
+[[File:Odd Keystone anime.png|thumb|left|200px|The [[Odd Keystone]]]]
-Spiritomb resembles a swirling, purple vortex. Green orbs that vary in size circle its face. It has a green, zigzag mouth and two green eyes shaped like half-crescents. Both eyes have spiral-shaped pupils, but often only one is shown. 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.
+[[File:Spiritomb Running Animated.png|thumb|left|<!--APNG, do not set a thumbnail size--> Spiritomb "running" in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]]]
+Spiritomb is a ghostly purple {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} attached to a stone. 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 fissure 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 energy of an unknown kind. Its face is set in the middle of the purple, 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.
-====Gender differences====
+Spiritomb is formed by a collection of 108 spirits, some of which are ill-natured. This collection of spirits is known for its misdeeds; thus, as punishment, the spirits were trapped to its Odd Keystone by a traveler using a mysterious spell. Several Pokédex entries state that Spiritomb was sealed roughly 500 years before the present time. The Pokémon lays curses with its wicked thoughts. It will lash out at anyone with little thought, often exercising short-sightedness in its pursuit of vengeance. It is rarely encountered in the wild. In most media, Spiritomb moves its body primarily through telepathy and the ability to float; though in the core series games, it can only appear to do so through dragging the Odd Keystone across the ground.
-None.
-===Special abilities===
+Spiritomb is able to control and interact through the Odd Keystone without manifesting its ghostly appearance, seemingly able to emit an eerie presence in the absence of a Keystone; as found in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] at [[Sea Mauville]]. It will stalk the player upon entering a specific room on the ship with the message ''"It feels as though you’re being watched..."'', appearing behind the player and battling them through the Odd Keystone the moment the screen fades from black, provided the player is in the very top left of the room. Papers in the room state that it was donated from the [[Oreburgh Mine]], suggesting that several Odd Keystones meant to contain Spiritomb can be found in the [[Underground]] of Sinnoh. [[Professor Cozmo]]'s father, Raizoh, was responsible for misplacing it when working on the ship.<ref name=SeaMauvillePapers>''"The file folder holds a stack of ragged papers.<br> Official Statem— of Apolog— <br> I, —izo— Co—mo, am respon— for the los— of the Odd Keystone dona—d...by the Oreb—gh Mine..."''</ref>
-Spiritomb's abilities are similar to its fellow {{2t|Dark|Ghost}} type, {{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 {{type|Psychic}} energies unless the user is under the effect of {{m|Miracle Eye}}.
-In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, it was shown to be able to warp from one Odd Keystone to another, so it might be possible that it might be linked to more than one Odd Keystone.
+In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Spiritomb's 108 spirits appear in the form of [[Wisp]]s, small purple entities scattered across the [[Hisui]] region after a seal was broken. When 107 Wisps have been taken to a large Odd Keystone shrine at the [[Crimson Mirelands]]' [[Shrouded Ruins]] as per [[Vessa]]'s request, she will provide the player with the final Wisp and disappear, where a wild Spiritomb will appear. This may imply that Spiritomb, (or otherwise, a single of its spirits) have the power to directly affect or possess those in the world of the living.
-===Behavior===
+On the occasion that a wild Spiritomb is found as an [[Alpha Pokémon]] through a [[Mass Outbreak#Pokémon Legends: Arceus|Massive Mass Outbreak]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], its eyes on both its actual face, as well as the entire "face" within the Odd Keystone will glow a deep red.
-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===
+As depicted in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', Spiritomb can be just as aggressive and destructive as the spirits that it is composed of. ''[[JN091|The Spectral Express!]]'' also revealed that anyone possessed by one of Spiritomb's spirits will start to cause misdeeds, and their face will eventually start to resemble Spiritomb. Losing one of these spirits will cause Spiritomb to go on an uncontrollable rampage until the lost spirit is returned.
-Spiritomb are entrapped in Odd Keystones and must be brought to the [[Hallowed Tower]] to be awakened. Some, as indicated in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, also live in caves.

-A Spiritomb first appeared under the ownership of [[Cynthia]] in ''[[PS347|Vs. Roserade II]]'', and helped {{adv|Platinum}} train for her upcoming Gym challenge against [[Gardenia]]. With its psychic abilities, it was able to seal [[Tru]]'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack alongside [[Platinum's Empoleon|Prinplup]]'s water attack, and used them to save [[Rad Rickshaw]], inadvertently getting {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and Platinum a set of bicycles. Spiritomb was later used against [[Cyrus]], where it defeated his {{p|Honchkrow}}, but was then defeated by {{p|Weavile}}.

+[[File:Cynthia Spiritomb.png|thumb|250px|Spiritomb in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
+===Major appearances===
+Spiritomb debuted in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{AP|Buizel}} were having a {{pkmn|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 until Ash succeeded in defeating and resealing it.
+A Spiritomb appeared in ''[[JN091|The Spectral Express!]]''. When Ash touched its keystone, one of its spirits entered his body and possessed him into doing mischievous deeds. Angered by this, Spiritomb went on a rampage until the lost spirit was returned to it. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN092|The Winding Path to Greatness!]]''.
+In ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}} used her Spiritomb in her [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against Ash. It battled {{AP|Dragonite}} and {{AP|Gengar}}, defeating them both before losing to {{AP|Pikachu}}, although not without taking him down with it thanks to {{m|Destiny Bond}}.

With her {{m|Psychic}} abilities, she was able to seal [[Tru]]'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} alongside {{TP|Platinum|Prinplup}}'s Water attack and used them to save [[Rad Rickshaw]], inadvertently getting {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and Platinum a set of bicycles when Rad mistook them as his helpers.

+{{main|Spiritomb (TCG)}}
 ==Trivia==
-* Spiritomb is one of two Pokémon that have no weaknesses due to their type combination, the other being {{p|Sableye}} (excluding when under the effects of {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}}).
+* Spiritomb is heavily associated with the number {{wp|108 (number)|108}}, a number considered sacred in {{wp|Indian religions}}.
-** Due to this, and the fact that Spiritomb has higher stats than Sableye, it is common for [[cheating|hackers]] to make a [[Wondertomb|Spiritomb]] with {{a|Wonder Guard}}.
+** Several of its [[Pokédex]] entries state that it was formed from 108 spirits.
-* 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 a stone.
+** Its number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] is 108.
+** Its Defense and Special Defense [[base stats]] are both 108.
+** It weighs exactly 108.0&nbsp;kg.
+** In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it can be found at [[Sea Mauville]], which lies on {{rt|108|Hoenn}}.
+** In [[Pokémon GO]], it is encountered at the end of a [[Special Research]] quest involving feeding 108 {{Berries}} to Pokémon and catching 108 Pokémon.
+** In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it is encountered at the end of a [[Task#Requests|request]] in which the player must gather 108 wisps scattered throughout [[Hisui]].
+* Prior to the introduction of the {{t|Fairy}} type in [[Generation VI]], Spiritomb had no weaknesses under normal conditions. It shared this distinction with {{p|Sableye}}.
+* As of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the main body of Spiritomb's model is opaque, and its normals (the direction of the model's faces) are flipped. Due to backface culling, the outside can be seen through, but the inside cannot, allowing for its green orbs (which are three-dimensional and swirl within its body) to be seen with an opaque background from any angle. This is in contrast to previous 3D games, in which Spiritomb's main body is slightly transparent and has normals pointing outwards. The difference can be most easily seen when viewing Spiritomb from the side.
+:* Uniquely, because of this, whenever Spiritomb is Terastallized, the souls gain the crystal look, not the swirls.
+* [[Nob Ogasawara]], the translator of the Pokémon games to English, had suggested "Phantomb" for Spiritomb's English name, although it was not accepted by [[Nintendo of America]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ0xJ1x5kMA Interview with Nob Ogasawara by ANMTV.] Posted on YouTube on September 28, 2022.</ref>
 ===Origin===
-Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It is 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. 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 crystal ball.
+Spiritomb may be based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place, or a {{wp|Deildegast}}, a Norwegian folklore spirit that is forced to haul around a boundary stone as punishment for moving one while it was alive. It might also be based on a {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} tradition performed on {{wp|New Year's Eve}} in Japan in which 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}}.
+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 novel's first chapter, a foolish army marshal orders the removal of a stone monument guarded by monks for generations, causing the spirits of 108 demons sealed therein to be released. 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.
