Dewpider (Japanese: シズクモ Shizukumo) is a dual-type Water/Bug Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It evolves into Araquanid starting at level 22.

Biology

Dewpider is a Pokémon resembling a spider. The most prominent feature of Dewpider is the water bubble that covers its head, which is anchored to the thorax by the means of three thin, green projections. Dewpider has a large, gray face with large blue oval-shaped eyes. It has two small blue spikes on its forehead and a yellow mouth. Dewpider's body is primarily light green with three thin, green legs, and a gray abdomen with a small stinger on the bottom.

The bubble serves as a means of protection to Dewpider's soft head and allows it to breathe when on land. When this Pokémon comes across enemies or potential prey, it slams its bubble-covered head into them.

Trivia

• Dewpider can be seen as a counterpart to Surskit. Both share the Water and Bug types and the same base stat totals, both evolve at the same level, and both can be found at Brooklet Hill in Pokémon Sun and Moon, taking the place of the other depending on the time, with Dewpider being found during the day and Surskit at night.

Origin

Dewpider may be based on the diving bell spider, a spider that lives primarily under water, gathering air into a bubble around its abdomen to breathe and provide air supply to its nest.

Name origin

Dewpider may be a combination of dew and spider.

Shizukumo may be a combination of 滴 shizuku (drop) and 蜘蛛 kumo (spider).
