Read more ↓Skorupi is a dual-type Poison/Bug Pokémon introduced in Generation IV, making its debut in the Sinnoh region with the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Known as the Scorpion Pokémon, Skorupi is characterized by its purple body, segmented tail, and potent venom. It typically inhabits arid and rocky environments, often found in deserts or caves, where it preys on smaller insects and other Pokémon. Skorupi's diet primarily consists of the bodily fluids of its victims, which it injects with its tail claws before consuming. Its behavior is largely predatory and territorial; it is known to tenaciously hold onto its prey until its poison takes full effect. In the anime, Skorupi has made several appearances, often depicted as a wild Pokémon or as part of a trainer's team, highlighting its fierce nature. Its evolutionary line culminates in Drapion, a formidable Poison/Dark-type Pokémon, which further cements Skorupi's significance in the Pokémon world. Type-wise, Skorupi is weak to Fire, Flying, Psychic, and Rock attacks due to its Bug typing, and resistant to Grass, Fighting, Poison, and Bug attacks, reflecting its dual typing. Its design draws inspiration from real-world scorpions, contributing to its distinct and recognizable appearance within the Pokémon universe.
