Skorupi (Japanese: スコルピ Scorpi) is a dual-type Poison/Bug Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Skorupi resembles an over-sized, pale purple scorpion. Its claws and tail have been swapped, giving it two stingers and a claw tail. The miniature jaws, claws, and tail claws are white. Its arms are attached directly to its head, close to its teal eyes. A pointed marking joins the eyes. The head, arms, two tail segments, and all four legs are light blue, while the body, tail end, and other two tail segments are a darker shade of blue.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Skorupi have a deadly poison in their claws allowing them to use Template:Type2 moves. Its mouth also contains a powerful jaw enabling it to use Bite and Crunch. It can have the ability Battle Armor, which protects it from critical hits, or the ability Sniper, which amplifies the power of critical hits. It can also survive a year without food.
Behavior
It buries itself in sand and lies in wait for unsuspecting prey, and grips prey with its tail claws, injecting poison. It tenaciously hangs on until the poison takes.

Skorupi lives in deserts and dry areas, though it can be found in marshy areas such as the Great Marsh.

Trivia
- Both of Skorupi's abilities (in Generation IV) revolve around critical hits. Battle Armor protects it from them, Sniper strengthens a move that becomes a critical hit to 3× the damage instead of 2×.
- Skorupi is the only Pokémon that loses its Template:Type2 upon evolution.
- Skorupi is the only Pokémon with the Bug/Poison combination to have Poison as its primary type.
- Despite it being said that Skorupi's habitat is the desert, the player can't catch any Skorupi in a desert route or area. However, the player can recruit a Skorupi in desert areas in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.
- As of Generation V, Skorupi and its evolution's egg group (Bug and Water 3) are unique. It is also the only Bug-type Pokémon whose evolved form does not have the Bug attribute.
Origin
Skorupi is based on a scorpion. It has some characteristics that resemble a vinegarroon, a similar arachnid. Its Water 3 egg group designation may be a reference to the ancient group of arthropods known as sea scorpions that used to inhabit the oceans and may have been the ancestors of modern scorpions.
Name origin
Skorupi's name is a shortening of the English word scorpion.
