CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

Arbok raises the front of its body to display the threatening pattern on its hood. It inflates its chest, makes strange sounds and takes advantage of a prey's hesitation to coil around it. Its grip is powerful enough to deform metal, according to the Pokédex. The intimidating markings are not identical in every individual: several patterns have been recorded. Arbok thus combines a visual warning, an audible signal and very real constricting strength.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Sun mentions a study recording over twenty designs on Arbok's hoods. Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu refers to six frightening marking patterns. These different counts remind us that the entries do not necessarily describe the same collection of patterns.
