ArbokHidden Fates #27 Pokémon Card

Arbok, the Cobra Pokémon, is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is the evolved form of Ekans, transforming into a more formidable and intimidating serpent. Known for its striking hood patterns, which are said to vary by region and can be used to hypnotize prey or intimidate foes, Arbok is a cunning and powerful predator. In the games, it's often associated with early routes and has a reputation for being a staple of villainous teams, most notably Team Rocket in the anime. Its natural habitat includes grasslands and forests, where it hunts smaller Pokémon and avoids larger predators. Arbok’s role in the anime is largely defined by Jessie of Team Rocket, whose Arbok is a loyal and frequently used companion, showcasing its determination and occasional comedic relief. Its design, inspired by real-world cobras, contributes to its cultural significance as a recognizable and iconic serpent Pokémon.
