Arbok (Japanese: アーボック Arbok) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
A reptilian with purple scales over most of its body. It has lost the rattle it had on its tail as an Ekans. Like a cobra, it can spread out its ribs into a hood. On its "hood", it has a design much like an angry face. The frightening patterns on its belly have been studied. Six variations have been confirmed.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
It has a nasty bite with deadly venom. Terrifically strong, it is capable of crushing opponents by coiling its body around them and constricting. It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, intimidating the opponent with the frightening pattern on its body.
Behavior
Rather vicious, Arbok are territorial. They lash out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. With a vengeful nature, it won't give up a chase after prey or an opponent, no matter how far, once it targets it prey.
Habitat
Arbok live in grassy savannas and plains.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
Jessie had an Arbok that she obtained as an Ekans. It was her primary battling Pokémon until A Poached Ego, when she set it free along with James's Weezing to protect a wild group of Ekans and Koffing.
In The Ultimate Test, Ash had used an Arbok in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, against the instructor's Jolteon.
In the manga
Koga and Agatha both have Arbok as important parts of their teams in Pokémon Special. In Pokémon Special, the pattern on an Arbok's belly may give an Arbok special abilities. With the help of Agatha's smoke, Agatha's Arbok had the ability to switch between a bunch of different patterns (see Issue 71), a speed boosting pattern, an attack boosting pattern, and a Invulnerability Pattern that repels poisons, Koga's Arbok, on the other hand, only has one pattern, which was a Regnerative pattern that allows it to regnerate any part of its body as long as the head remains intact. According to Pokémon Yellow, that leaves two patterns left undiscovered (if Koga's is the standard one).
Pokémon Special Pokédex entry (issue 71): It is rumored that the ferocious warning markings in its belly differ from area to area.
An Arbok is one of the antagonists in Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure.
Jesse's Arbok appeared several times in the Electric Tale of Pikachu.

- In Generation I games, Arbok seemed to have a pattern on its back. This was later dropped.
- In Generation II, the "face" on Arbok's chest pattern changed. It stayed that way for Generation III, but it changed back to its original design in Generation IV and in the anime, as well as FireRed and LeafGreen. This supports the Pokédex entry saying how there are different pattern designs.
