Arbok is often found in grasslands and forests, where it preys on smaller Pokémon and uses its venom to incapacitate foes. Its most distinctive feature is the intricate, often unsettling, pattern on its hood, which is said to vary by region and can be used to hypnotize or intimidate opponents. In the games, Arbok is a reliable Poison-type with decent attack and speed, often utilized for its ability to inflict status conditions. In the anime, Jessie of Team Rocket famously owned an Arbok, showcasing its loyalty and fierce combat prowess. Arbok's design draws heavily from real-world cobras, contributing to its iconic status and cultural significance as one of the original 151 Pokémon, embodying the dangerous yet captivating nature of serpentine creatures in the Pokémon world. Its evolution from Ekans at level 22 makes it an accessible and early-game powerhouse for many trainers.
