===Physiology===
Whirlipede is an insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} encased in a hard, segmented shell. It has two pairs of gray, horn-like feelers with dark gray stripes, with one pair extended upward from its front and the other pointing downward from its lower rear. Two poisonous barbs flank either side of each segment of its shell. The shell itself is gray, with red rings in the middle of each segment and a darker gray border circling its open center. Whirlipede's eyes can be seen within the center, and have slitted pupils, yellow sclerae, and thick, gray eyelids.  
Whirlipede is a gray, hard-shelled, curled tire-like Pokémon, with various spikes projecting out of the shell. Magenta rings adorn the various segments of its round body, with two especially long spikes or antennae-like extensions, as well as an extension on the opposite side of its body, banded with a darker shade of gray. The inner portion of its body is also dark gray. Its yellow eyes have pronounced gray eyelids.


====Gender differences====
Whirlipede remains motionless while storing energy for evolution, but will move to stab approaching predators with its poisonous spikes. If attacked, it can quickly spin its body like a wheel and crash furiously into opponents. It can move to about the speed of 60 mph.
None.


===Special abilities===
===Evolution===
It has a hard, sturdy shell that protects its body. It slams powerfully into its opponents while rotating its body like a tire.
Whirlipede evolves from {{p|Venipede}} and evolves into {{p|Scolipede}}.


===Behavior===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
It does not move at all unless it is attacked. If bothered it will fight back.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Like {{p|Spinda}}, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it and Spinda usually spin in circles, which are 360 degrees.
* Despite the Scolipede and {{p|Centiskorch}} evolutionary families living in different parts of the [[Galar]] [[region]], both Venipede and Scolipede's [[Pokédex]] entries speak of their hostile relationship with the latter family.
* Whirlipede and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1123171470245367808 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on April 30, 2019.</ref>


===Origin===
===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Venipede, Whirlipede and Scolipede}}
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Venipede, Whirlipede and Scolipede}}
Whirlipede, like its [[species]] states, is based on a {{wp|centipede}}. However, its rolled up appearance and color scheme is more similar to that of an {{wp|oniscidea}} or {{wp|oniscomorpha}}. When in danger, these arthropods in these two orders will curl up into a ball. It also resembles a car tire.
Whirlipede may be based on {{wp|centipede}}s and curled up {{wp|pill millipede}}s, {{wp|Armadillidiidae|roly poly}}-like arthropods that curl up into a ball when in danger. It also resembles a rubber {{wp|tire}}.
