'''Ekans''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーボ''' ''Arbo'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Biology==
==Biology==
Ekans is a purple, serpentine Pokémon. Its eyes, underbelly, stripe, and rattle are yellow. Ekans has three pairs of black lines encircling its body, as well as another line that connects each slitted eye and curves toward its nose. Its large mouth has a round, pink tongue and no visible teeth.  
Ekans is a purple, {{wp|snake|serpentine}}  {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its eyes, underbelly, the thick stripe around its neck, and rattle are yellow. Ekans has three pairs of black lines encircling its body, as well as another line that connects to each slit-pupiled eye and curves toward its nose. Its large mouth has a round, pink tongue and no visible teeth. While painful, a newborn Ekans's bite is not venomous. This Pokémon grows longer with age.


Ekans moves stealthily through grass and preys on Eggs from {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}} nests, but can strike other prey from behind. It grows longer with age and wraps itself around tree branches at night to rest. If not in a tree, it will coil itself up—a position in which it can defend itself from all directions. Its jaw can detach to swallow large prey, but such a meal can make Ekans too heavy to move. A newborn Ekans's bite is painful, but not venomous. It flicks its tongue out to detect danger and the scent of prey. It was also shown in [[M02|the second movie]] to possess some swimming abilities. Ekans lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy savannas and plains}}.
Ekans lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy savannas and plains}}, where it moves stealthily through grass. It can also be found in forests and desolate wastelands, where it preys on Eggs from {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}} nests, but will strike other prey from behind. By flicking its tongue out, it is able to detect danger and the scent of prey. Its jaw can detach to swallow large prey, but such a meal can make Ekans too heavy to move or become stuck and cause it to faint. It wraps itself around tree branches at night to rest. If not in a tree, it will coil itself up—a position in which it can defend itself from all directions. In [[M02|the second movie]], it is revealed to possess some swimming abilities. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]],  Ekans are known to sleep with its body all coiled up. It is believed that Ekans does this as a way to terrify foes, no matter which direction the foe is<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>.  


==In the anime==
Prior to [[Generation II]], Ekans and its evolved form, {{p|Arbok}}, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Glare}}.
[[File:Jessie Ekans.png|thumb|210px|Ekans in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Ekans]]====
[[Jessie]] had an Ekans, which for most of the [[original series]], was her only Pokémon. It was extremely loyal to her and eventually evolved into an {{p|Arbok}} just to make her happy.


====Other====
===Evolution===
[[Rico|A poacher]] had captured a bunch of Ekans in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]''.
Ekans evolves into {{p|Arbok}}.


Ekans was part of [[Team Meanies]] in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. {{p|Gengar}} commanded the Poisonous Snake Pokémon to eat all the Berries Team Go-Getters collected. At one point, Ekans was incorrectly referred to as Arbok by Gengar. While this was an intentional error that Ekans rebuked in the original version (due to the similarities in the Japanese names), this came across as a general mistake in the dub and was corrected in reairings of the episode.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Vermilion Forest Ekans.png|thumb|250px|Ekans in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jessie's Ekans]]=====
[[Jessie]] received an Ekans as a {{wp|chūgen}} gift (a [[birthday]] gift in the dub) prior to the start of the series. It debuted in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', which also marked the species' debut. It was extremely loyal to her and eventually evolved into an {{p|Arbok}} in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'' just to make her happy.
=====[[Team Meanies]]=====
Ekans was part of Team Meanies in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. {{p|Gengar}} commanded the Poisonous Snake Pokémon to eat all of the {{Berries}} Team Go-Getters had collected. At one point, Ekans was incorrectly referred to as Arbok by Gengar. While this was an intentional error that Ekans rebuked in the original version (due to the similarities between the Japanese names), this came across as a general mistake in the dub and was corrected in reruns of the episode.
=====Other=====
In ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'', multiple Ekans were captured by [[Rico]]. Jessie released her Arbok along with [[James's Weezing]] so they could protect these Ekans and a group of captured {{p|Koffing}}.
In ''[[SM065|Turning Heads and Training Hard!]]'', a {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}'s Ekans was quickly defeated by [[Ilima]] and his {{p|Eevee}}. In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', it competed in the [[Manalo Conference]], only to be defeated by Ilima's Eevee again.
In ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]'', [[Goh]] caught an {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Ekans}} during a [[Pokémon Orienteering]] competition. It has since made further appearances in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

* Ekans has never been scanned with a [[Pokédex]] in the {{pkmn|anime|animated series}}, despite debuting in [[EP002|the second episode]] of the [[original series]]. Thusly, it is the Pokémon with the most episodes aired after its debut without it getting a Pokédex entry.


===Origin===
===Origin===
It appears to be based on a boa and {{wp|rattlesnake}}, and its facial markings resemble an {{wp|Indian cobra}}'s hood. However, its lack of teeth, ability to swallow large prey, preying on Pokémon eggs, and reaction to threats are more akin to an {{wp|egg-eating snake}}. The yellow band around its neck may refer to the {{wp|Diadophis punctatus|ring-necked snake}}. Ekans and {{p|Arbok}} may also be inspired by the legendary {{wp|basilisk}} since they were originally the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Glare}}. The basilisk was said to be a poisonous, serpentine dragon that would kill people with its stare, which may explain Ekans's place in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
Ekans seems to be based on various {{wp|snakes}}. Its {{wp|venom|venomous}} bite and tail {{wp|rattlesnake#Anatomy|rattle}} are similar to a {{wp|rattlesnake}}, while its lack of visible teeth and diet of eggs are similar to an {{wp|dasypeltis|egg-eating snake}}. The single yellow stripe around its neck is reminiscent of the {{wp|ring-necked snake}}, and the line connecting its eyes is reminiscent of the marking on the back of the {{wp|Indian cobra}}'s hood. The fact that it is in the {{egg3|Dragon}} and its ability to learn {{m|Glare}} may be a reference to the legendary {{wp|basilisk}}, a venomous, serpentine dragon said to be able to kill people with its stare.
