CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

Tarountula surrounds its body with a ball of remarkably elastic thread. This protection can deflect the scythes of Scyther, its natural enemy. It also produces thread as strong as cable from the rear of its body. The Pokédex notes that the source of this strength is still being researched. Its flexible shelter and the toughness of its thread show two uses for the same material: cushioning an attack and building a defense.

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

Tarountula's threads protect it. Pokémon Scarlet credits them with enough elasticity to deflect Scyther's scythes. Pokémon Violet compares them to metal cable and says the secret of their strength has not yet been solved.
