Spiritomb is based on a crystal ball. It also based on a Buddhist tradition performed on New Year's Eve in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve nirvana.

Name origin

Its name may come from mika (甕), meaning jar or urn, referring to its being a container of souls; and karuishi (軽石), pumice, referring to its base, the Crucial Stone. Spiritomb is a combination of "spirit" and "tomb".
