Skorupi is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which resembles an oversized, pale purple scorpion. Its claws and tail have been swapped, giving it two stingers and a claw tail. The miniature jaws, claws, and tail claws are white. Its arms are attached directly to its head, close to its teal eyes. A pointed marking joins its eyes. The head, arms, two tail segments, and all four legs are light blue, while the body, tail end, and other two tail segments are a darker shade of blue.

===Evolution===

Skorupi evolves into {{p|Drapion}}.

==In the TCG==

{{main|Skorupi (TCG)}}

Skorupi appears to be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}. It has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}}, a similar arachnid. Its {{egg|Water 3}} Egg Group designation may be a reference to the ancient group of arthropods known as {{wp|Eurypterid|sea scorpions}} that used to inhabit the oceans and may have been the ancestors of modern scorpions.

 

Skorupi and Scorupi appear to be shortenings of ''{{wp|scorpion}}''.
