Beyond the Ball 190 - Araquanid

Beyond the Ball

Dewpider's size has grown exponentially through evolution just as Araquanid's Pokedex entries have grown exponentially more unsettling! Heads up arachnophobes and thalassophobes, this episode may not be the one for you! Follow along with the entries below:

Sun: It delivers headbutts with the water bubble on its head. Small Pokémon get sucked into the bubble, where they drown.

Moon: Despite what its appearance suggests, it cares for others. If it finds vulnerable, weak Pokémon, it protectively brings them into its water bubble.

Ultra Sun: It usually passes its time in the water. When its belly is full, it stores its subdued prey in the water bubble on its head.

Ultra Moon: It has a habit of storing things it values in its water bubble. If its Trainer doesn’t watch out, Araquanid will try to put them in its bubble!

Sword: It launches water bubbles with its legs, drowning prey within the bubbles. This Pokémon can then take its time to savor its meal.

Shield: It acts as a caretaker for Dewpider, putting them inside its bubble and letting them eat any leftover food.

BTB: Its head bubble is a horrifying mix of its drowned prey, hungry young, beloved trainers, and pitiable Pokemon. Just a soup of terror.
