Spiritomb is a ghostly purple {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} attached to a stone. Although lacking a physical body, Spiritomb projects its appearance out of a small rock called the [[Odd Keystone]]. The rock is trapezoidal in shape and has two small dots. There is a fissure running down the middle, splitting in two near the bottom. The crack in combination with the two dots appears to form a frowning face. Spiritomb's projected appearance is an ethereal composition of swirling purple energy of an unknown kind. Its face is set in the middle of the purple, and contains green, crescent eyes that are connected to its jagged mouth. Its pupils are composed of a spiral and it is sometimes only seen with one. Swirling around its face are green orbs with yellow centers. | |||
Spiritomb is formed by a collection of 108 spirits, some of which are ill-natured. This collection of spirits is known for its misdeeds; thus, as punishment, the spirits were trapped to its Odd Keystone by a traveler using a mysterious spell. | Spiritomb is formed by a collection of 108 spirits, some of which are ill-natured. This collection of spirits is known for its misdeeds; thus, as punishment, the spirits were trapped to its Odd Keystone by a traveler using a mysterious spell. Several Pokédex entries state that Spiritomb was sealed roughly 500 years before the present time. The Pokémon lays curses with its wicked thoughts. It will lash out at anyone with little thought, often exercising short-sightedness in its pursuit of vengeance. It is rarely encountered in the wild. In most media, Spiritomb moves its body primarily through levitation; though in the core series games, it can only appear to do so through dragging the Odd Keystone across the ground. | ||
[[ | Papers found within [[Sea Mauville]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} state that it was donated from the [[Oreburgh Mine]], suggesting that several Odd Keystones meant to contain Spiritomb can be found in the [[Underground]] of Sinnoh. [[Professor Cozmo]]'s father, Raizoh, was responsible for misplacing it when working on the ship.<ref name=SeaMauvillePapers>''"The file folder holds a stack of ragged papers.<br> Official Statem— of Apolog— <br> I, —izo— Co—mo, am respon— for the los— of the Odd Keystone dona—d...by the Oreb—gh Mine..."''</ref> | ||
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Spiritomb's 108 spirits appear in the form of [[Wisp]]s, small purple entities scattered across the [[Hisui]] region after a seal was broken. When 107 Wisps have been taken to a large Odd Keystone shrine at the [[Crimson Mirelands]]' [[Shrouded Ruins]] as per [[Vessa]]'s request, she will provide the player with the final Wisp and disappear, with a wild Spiritomb appearing shortly afterwards. | |||
As depicted in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', Spiritomb can be just as aggressive and destructive as the spirits that it is composed of. ''[[JN091|The Spectral Express!]]'' also revealed that anyone possessed by one of Spiritomb's spirits will start to cause misdeeds, and their face will eventually start to resemble Spiritomb. Losing one of these spirits will cause Spiritomb to go on an uncontrollable rampage until the lost spirit is returned. | |||

[[File:Cynthia Spiritomb.png|thumb|250px|Spiritomb in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] | |||
===Major appearances=== | |||
Spiritomb debuted in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{AP|Buizel}} were having a {{pkmn|training}} match with {{an|Dawn}} and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} when Buizel accidentally knocked down [[Hallowed Tower]], upon which Spiritomb emerged from the tower's [[Odd Keystone|keystone]]. It then wreaked havoc on a nearby town until Ash succeeded in defeating and resealing it. | |||
A Spiritomb appeared in ''[[JN091|The Spectral Express!]]''. When Ash touched its keystone, one of its spirits entered his body and possessed him into doing mischievous deeds. Angered by this, Spiritomb went on a rampage until the lost spirit was returned to it. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN092|The Winding Path to Greatness!]]''. | |||
In ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}} used her Spiritomb in her [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against Ash. It battled {{AP|Dragonite}} and {{AP|Gengar}}, defeating them both before losing to {{AP|Pikachu}}, although not without taking him down with it thanks to {{m|Destiny Bond}}. | |||

It shared this distinction with {{p|Sableye}}. | ||
* As of | * As of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the main body of Spiritomb's model is opaque, and its normals (the direction of the model's faces) are flipped. Due to backface culling, the outside can be seen through, but the inside cannot, allowing for its green orbs (which are three-dimensional and swirl within its body) to be seen with an opaque background from any angle. This is in contrast to previous 3D games, in which Spiritomb's main body is slightly transparent and has normals pointing outwards. The difference can be most easily seen when viewing Spiritomb from the side. | ||
:* Uniquely, because of this, whenever Spiritomb is Terastallized, the souls gain the crystal look, not the swirls. | |||
* When Spiritomb appears as an [[Alpha Pokémon]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the markings on the Odd Keystone will glow a deep red. | |||

Spiritomb (Japanese: ミカルゲ Mikaruge) is a dual-type Ghost/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology


Spiritomb is a ghostly purple Pokémon attached to a stone. Although lacking a physical body, Spiritomb projects its appearance out of a small rock called the Odd Keystone. The rock is trapezoidal in shape and has two small dots. There is a fissure running down the middle, splitting in two near the bottom. The crack in combination with the two dots appears to form a frowning face. Spiritomb's projected appearance is an ethereal composition of swirling purple energy of an unknown kind. Its face is set in the middle of the purple, and contains green, crescent eyes that are connected to its jagged mouth. Its pupils are composed of a spiral and it is sometimes only seen with one. Swirling around its face are green orbs with yellow centers.
Spiritomb is formed by a collection of 108 spirits, some of which are ill-natured. This collection of spirits is known for its misdeeds; thus, as punishment, the spirits were trapped to its Odd Keystone by a traveler using a mysterious spell. Several Pokédex entries state that Spiritomb was sealed roughly 500 years before the present time. The Pokémon lays curses with its wicked thoughts. It will lash out at anyone with little thought, often exercising short-sightedness in its pursuit of vengeance. It is rarely encountered in the wild. In most media, Spiritomb moves its body primarily through levitation; though in the core series games, it can only appear to do so through dragging the Odd Keystone across the ground.
Papers found within Sea Mauville in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire state that it was donated from the Oreburgh Mine, suggesting that several Odd Keystones meant to contain Spiritomb can be found in the Underground of Sinnoh. Professor Cozmo's father, Raizoh, was responsible for misplacing it when working on the ship.[1]
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Spiritomb's 108 spirits appear in the form of Wisps, small purple entities scattered across the Hisui region after a seal was broken. When 107 Wisps have been taken to a large Odd Keystone shrine at the Crimson Mirelands' Shrouded Ruins as per Vessa's request, she will provide the player with the final Wisp and disappear, with a wild Spiritomb appearing shortly afterwards.
As depicted in The Keystone Pops!, Spiritomb can be just as aggressive and destructive as the spirits that it is composed of. The Spectral Express! also revealed that anyone possessed by one of Spiritomb's spirits will start to cause misdeeds, and their face will eventually start to resemble Spiritomb. Losing one of these spirits will cause Spiritomb to go on an uncontrollable rampage until the lost spirit is returned.

In the anime

Major appearances
Spiritomb debuted in The Keystone Pops!. Ash and Buizel were having a training match with Dawn and Aipom when Buizel accidentally knocked down Hallowed Tower, upon which Spiritomb emerged from the tower's keystone. It then wreaked havoc on a nearby town until Ash succeeded in defeating and resealing it.
A Spiritomb appeared in The Spectral Express!. When Ash touched its keystone, one of its spirits entered his body and possessed him into doing mischievous deeds. Angered by this, Spiritomb went on a rampage until the lost spirit was returned to it. It reappeared in a flashback in The Winding Path to Greatness!.
In Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!, Cynthia used her Spiritomb in her Masters Eight Tournament match against Ash. It battled Dragonite and Gengar, defeating them both before losing to Pikachu, although not without taking him down with it thanks to Destiny Bond.

Pokémon Adventures
A Spiritomb first appeared in Ring Around the Roserade II, under the ownership of Cynthia. It helped Platinum train for her upcoming Gym challenge against Gardenia. With her Psychic abilities, she was able to seal Tru's Razor Leaf alongside Prinplup's Water attack and used them to save Rad Rickshaw, inadvertently getting Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum a set of bicycles when Rad mistook them as his helpers. Spiritomb was later used against Cyrus, where she defeated his Honchkrow, but was then defeated by Weavile.

Trivia

- Spiritomb is heavily associated with the number 108, a number considered sacred in Indian religions.
- Several of its Pokédex entries state that it was formed from 108 spirits.
- Its number in the Sinnoh Pokédex is 108.
- Its Defense and Special Defense base stats are both 108.
- It weighs exactly 108.0 kg.
- In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it can be found at Sea Mauville, which lies on Route 108.
- In Pokémon GO, it is encountered at the end of a Special Research quest involving feeding 108 Berries to Pokémon and catching 108 Pokémon.
- In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it is encountered at the end of a request in which the player must gather 108 wisps scattered throughout Hisui.
- Prior to the introduction of the Fairy type in Generation VI, Spiritomb had no weaknesses under normal conditions. It shared this distinction with Sableye.
- As of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the main body of Spiritomb's model is opaque, and its normals (the direction of the model's faces) are flipped. Due to backface culling, the outside can be seen through, but the inside cannot, allowing for its green orbs (which are three-dimensional and swirl within its body) to be seen with an opaque background from any angle. This is in contrast to previous 3D games, in which Spiritomb's main body is slightly transparent and has normals pointing outwards. The difference can be most easily seen when viewing Spiritomb from the side.
- Uniquely, because of this, whenever Spiritomb is Terastallized, the souls gain the crystal look, not the swirls.
- When Spiritomb appears as an Alpha Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the markings on the Odd Keystone will glow a deep red.
- Nob Ogasawara, the translator of the Pokémon games to English, had suggested "Phantomb" for Spiritomb's English name, although it was not accepted by Nintendo of America.[2]
Origin
Spiritomb may be based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place, or a Deildegast, a Norwegian folklore spirit that is forced to haul around a boundary stone as punishment for moving one while it was alive. It might also be based on a Buddhist tradition performed on New Year's Eve in Japan in which a bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve Nirvana. The wisps of spirits surrounding its face also resemble a set of prayer beads, a possible reference to Japa.
Spiritomb may also be based on Water Margin, one of the Classic Chinese Novels, which is also very well known in Japan. In the novel's first chapter, a foolish army marshal orders the removal of a stone monument guarded by monks for generations, causing the spirits of 108 demons sealed therein to be released. These 108 souls, having atoned for their sins, become the 108 Stars of Destiny. They are reincarnated centuries later as 108 outlaws, the heroes of the novel.
Name origin
Spiritomb may be a combination of spirit and tomb. It may also be a play on the Latin spiritum.
Mikaruge may be a combination of 御影石 mikageishi (granite) and 軽石 karuishi (pumice). It may also involve karma.
