Read more ↓Arbok, the Cobra Pokémon, is a Poison-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation I. It is the evolved form of Ekans, transforming into its more menacing state at level 22. Known for its intimidating glare and the unique patterns on its hood, Arbok is a master of camouflage and a formidable predator in the wild. Its patterns are said to vary by region, with some believing these differences help it blend into diverse environments or even mimic other Pokémon to scare off foes. Arbok primarily inhabits grassy plains and forests, where it hunts small rodents and birds, paralyzing its prey with potent venom before constricting them. In the Pokémon anime, Jessie of Team Rocket famously owned an Arbok, which became a loyal and powerful companion, showcasing its fierce loyalty despite its intimidating appearance. Arbok's design draws heavily from real-world cobras, particularly their iconic hood and the "spectacle" pattern, giving it a universal recognition as a symbol of danger and elegance. Its Poison typing makes it strong against Grass and Fairy types, but vulnerable to Ground and Psychic attacks, reflecting a balanced role in the competitive Pokémon ecosystem. Arbok's blend of mystique and power has cemented its place as a classic Pokémon, appealing to fans of early generations and those who appreciate its serpentine grace.
