* Its {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and SoulSilver}} Pokédex entries state that it was formed from 108 spirits. Spiritomb's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] is 108, its Defense and Special Defense base values are 108, and it weighs exactly 108.0 kg. In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} it can be found at [[Sea Mauville]], which lies on {{rt|108|hoenn}}. All this is based on the number of temptations a person must overcome to reach {{wp|Nirvana}} in {{wp|Buddhism}}.

In [[Pokémon GO]], Spiritomb is encountered at the end of a research quest involving feeding 108 {{Berries}} to Pokémon and catching 108 Pokémon. All of this is based on the number of temptations a person must overcome to reach {{wp|Nirvana}} in {{wp|Buddhism}}.
* Prior to the introduction of the {{t|Fairy}} type in [[Generation VI]], Spiritomb was one of only two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that had no weakness (without the aid of an Ability) along with {{p|Sableye}}. As this occurred without the aid of an [[Ability]], it was commonly hacked to have the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}, making it immune to all direct damage. This hack is commonly referred to as [[Wondertomb]].

===Origin===
===Origin===
Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It is also based on a {{wp|Buddhist}} tradition performed on {{wp|New Year's Eve}} in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve Nirvana. The wisps of spirits surrounding its face also resemble a set of prayer beads, a possible reference to {{wp|Japa}}. It may also be based on a crystal ball.

Spiritomb may also be based on {{wp|Water Margin}}, one of China's {{wp|Four Great Classical Novels}}, which is also very well known in Japan. In the first chapter of the novel, a foolish army marshal orders the removal of a stone monument which had been guarded by monks for generations. Doing so releases the spirits of 108 demons sealed therein. These 108 souls, having atoned for their sins, become the {{wp|108 Stars of Destiny}}. They are reincarnated centuries later as 108 outlaws, the heroes of the novel.
