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 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.

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. Some Spiritomb are up to 500 years old. The Pokémon creates curses with its wicked thoughts. 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. [[JN091|The anime]] 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 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.<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>
 
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.
 
In 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.
 
In [[DP056|the anime]], Spiritomb can be just as aggressive and destructive as the spirits that it is composed of. [[JN091|The anime]] 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 is rarely encountered in the wild, but may very occasionally appear in ruins. In 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.
