Read more ↓Galvantula is an Electric/Bug type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, hailing from the Unova region. It evolves from Joltik, a tiny Electric/Bug type spider. Galvantula is known as the EleSpider Pokémon, characterized by its bright yellow and purple body, multiple eyes, and powerful electrified fangs. In the wild, Galvantula are often found in caves or forests, where they spin electrically charged webs to ensnare their prey. These webs are not only sticky but also deliver a paralyzing shock, making them highly effective hunting tools. Its diet primarily consists of smaller Bug-type Pokémon that get caught in its intricate traps. In the Pokémon anime, Galvantula has appeared in various episodes, showcasing its speed and electric abilities in battle. Its unique dual typing gives it an interesting set of type matchups, being resistant to Fighting, Grass, and Electric moves, but vulnerable to Rock and Fire. Galvantula's design is inspired by tarantulas and other large spiders, incorporating elements of electricity to create a memorable and visually distinctive creature in the Pokémon world.
