Arbok is a serpent like Pokémon with purple scales all over its body. It has a large hood just below its head. On its hood, it has a design much like an angry face, which can come in six variations. The pattern typically has red and yellow eyespot outlined it black, a wide black streak resembling a mouth, and a V-shaped stripe about the face pattern.
Arbok is a serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|cobra}}. It has narrow eyes and several sharp teeth. Just below its head is a large hood with a face-like pattern. This pattern has over 20 possible variations. The pattern typically has two red and yellow eyespots outlined in black, a wide black streak resembling an upturned mouth, and a black V-shaped stripe above the eyespots.


Arbok is capable of crushing opponents by coiling its body around them and squeeze them tightly. It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, mimics the opponent with the frightening pattern on its body and making eerie sounds by expelling air from its mouth. [[Pokémon Adventures|It has been stated]] that if any part of Arbok's body except for the head is cut off, it can regrow the rest of its body again in a matter of a few weeks. It also has the ability to detect vibrations as shown in [[EP128|the anime]]. Arbok [[EP061|has been known]] to be capable of spending long periods underwater and surviving in aquatic environments. {{DL|Agatha|In the Pokémon Adventures manga|One particular Arbok}} could change its pattern at any time to increase power to different stats and get invulnerability to [[status condition]]s, if the pattern is uncovered.
Arbok is capable of crushing opponents by coiling its body around them and squeezing them tightly. It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, mimics, and stuns the opponent using the frightening pattern on its body. It can also make eerie sounds by expelling air from its mouth. [[Pokémon Adventures|It has been stated]] that if any part of Arbok's body except for the head is cut off, it can regrow the rest of its body again in a matter of a few weeks. It also has the ability to detect vibrations as shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]''. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]], it is shown that Arbok is capable of spending long periods underwater and surviving in aquatic environments. {{DL|Agatha|Pokémon Adventures|One particular Arbok}} could change its pattern at any time to increase power to different stats and get invulnerability to [[status condition]]s, if the pattern is uncovered.


Arbok is territorial. It lashes out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. With a vengeful nature, it will not give up a chase once it targets its prey or an opponent, no matter how far. It makes its home in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy savannas and plains}}. In the wild, it hunts smaller Pokémon, using the pattern on its hood to immobilize prey and using its toxic bite to finish them off and eat them.
Arbok is territorial. It lashes out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. Vengeful in nature, it will not give up a chase once it targets its prey or an opponent, no matter how far. It makes its home in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy savannas and plains}}, but it can also be found in forests and desolate wastelands alongside its pre-evolved form {{p|Ekans}}. In the wild, it hunts smaller Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, and also preys on {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}} Eggs. When hunting, it uses the pattern on its hood to immobilize prey, then it begins constricting them, and it finally poisons the target to finish them off and eat them. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Arbok is known to display its belly while sleeping. It is theorized that Arbok does this to scare other Pokémon away by showcasing its fearsome markings<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>.


==In the anime==
Prior to [[Generation II]], Arbok and its pre-evolved form, Ekans, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Glare}}.

In Pokémon Adventures, 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 several different {{DL|Variant Pokémon|Arbok|patterns}}: a standard pattern, a speed-boosting pattern, an attack-boosting pattern, and an invulnerability pattern that repels poisons. Koga's Arbok instead has only one pattern, which is a regenerative pattern that allows it to regenerate any part of its body as long as the head remains intact.

[[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have Arbok as important parts of their [[Party|teams]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Agatha's first appeared in ''[[PS071|Muk Raking]]''.

With the help of Agatha's smoke, Agatha's Arbok had the ability to switch between several different {{DL|Variant Pokémon|Arbok|patterns}}: a standard pattern, a speed-boosting pattern, an attack-boosting pattern, and an invulnerability pattern that repels poisons. Koga's Arbok instead has only one pattern, which is a regenerative pattern that allows it to regenerate any part of its body as long as the head remains intact.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the most infamous [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] in ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]'', Arbok was erroneously claimed to evolve into {{p|Seviper}}.
===Design variations===
* In [[Generation I]] games, Arbok had a pair of black stripes in a pattern on its back. This never appeared in any future generation.
{{main|Variant Pokémon#Arbok|Variant Pokémon → Arbok}}
* The [[Variant Pokémon#Arbok|face-like pattern]] on Arbok's chest has differences between games. Its sprites in Generations {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|IV}}, {{Gen|V}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} differ from the ones in [[Generation II]] and the ones from {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. This supports Pokédex text which notes differences between Arbok in different areas; however, its markings from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and the ones from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} are not the same, despite all these games being placed in [[Johto]].
[[File:Game Boy music CD.png|thumb|200px|Arbok with a face pattern, as seen in the [[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD]]]]
** It should be noted that other media have featured more variations. The ''[[Pokémon Adventures|Adventures]]'' series suggests that it can change the pattern, as done by [[Agatha|Agatha's Arbok]], based on Arbok's concept art. The {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Arbok|2}} card from the {{Trading Card Game}} is also illustrated with another pattern.
The face-like pattern on Arbok's chest differs between games. Its appearance in [[Generation I]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and from [[Generation IV]] onward differs from the variants shown in [[Generation II]] and in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. This supports Pokédex text which notes differences between Arbok in different areas; however, its markings in [[Johto]]- and [[Hoenn]]-based remakes differ from those in the original games set in those regions.
* Arbok is the last Pokémon to be featured on the [[Kanto Pokérap]].
 
* Arbok is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 438.
Other media have featured additional variations. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok can change their own patterns, as done by [[Agatha]]'s Arbok. The {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Arbok|2}} card from the {{Trading Card Game}} depicts another pattern.
* Arbok is the tallest {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Its design is likely based on an {{wp|Indian cobra}}. Arbok and {{p|Ekans}} 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 Arbok's place in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
Arbok seems to be based on the {{wp|Indian cobra}} due to its {{wp|venom|venomous}} bite and hood markings. It may also be based on the {{wp|king cobra}}, which is the world's largest venomous snake. Its powerful {{wp|constriction}} is reminiscent of {{wp|boidae|boa}}s, {{wp|anaconda}}s, and {{wp|pythonidae|python}}s. Its frightening face-like belly patterns may be inspired by {{wp|mask}}s or {{wp|Body painting#Face painting|face paint}}. 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.


===Name origin===
====Name origin====
Arbok is ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards, with ''k'' instead of ''c''. Additionally, the name Arbok relates to its pre-evolution's Japanese name, {{p|Ekans|Arbo}}.
Arbok is ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards, but with the ''c'' replaced with a ''k''.<ref>[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]], p. 36</ref>
