* 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}}.

All this is based on the number of temptations a person must overcome to reach {{wp|Nirvana}} in {{wp|Buddhism}}. This number 108 was further used in Pokemon GO following a three part quest, where the first part involved feeding 108 berries to a pokemon prior catching it and the second part involved catching 108 pokemons which finally lead to an overall result of encountering Spiritomb itself.
* 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]].
