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.

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 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 [[EP128|the anime]]. Arbok [[EP061|has been known]] to be 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.

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. 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. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Glare}} was its [[signature move]].

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>.
 
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}}.

{{main|Arbok (MPJ)}}
Arbok is one of the supporting characters in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. Originally an enemy of the main cast, he along with the [[Ekans Brothers]] befriend [[Hazel]] and her Pokémon.
In ''[[PPP12|Even an Arbok Falls in Love!]]'', he gets a crush on {{MPJ|Wigglytuff}} and goes to {{MPJ|Jynx}} as well as [[Hazel]] and friends for advice. At the end of the chapter, he confesses his love to Wigglytuff and gives her one of his molted skins.
===Pokémon Adventures===
Arbok debuted in ''[[PS014|That Awful Arbok!]]'', under the ownership of Koga.
[[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both have Arbok as important parts of their [[Party|teams]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Agatha's first appeared in ''[[PS071|Muk Raking]]''. 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 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.
