Scolipede is an aggressive and poisonous segmented insect Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. It is the third and final stage in Venipede's evolutionary line.

Information

Scolipede evolves from Whirlipede at Level 30. They are speedy insects which chase down foes and attack them relentlessly. Scolipede attacks with its sharp horns, and it uses the claws near its neck to dig into opponents to poison them.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

Scolipede has not been found in the wild and can only be obtained by evolving a Whirlipede.

Other Games

In Pokémon Rumble Blast, it appeared in the treetops of World Axle's second basement floor. In PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, Scolipede appeared at the Arbor Area's Verdant Court and could be befriended after the game was completed by defeating it in battle.

Other Appearances

Other Media

• In the Pokémon anime, Scolipede was first shown in one episode where Iris's Axew accidentally disturbed one, prompting it to go on a rampage. It was eventually quieted when her Excadrill defeated it. Other Scolipede have belonged since as either angry wild Pokémon or belonging to rival trainers. In one case, a child trainer named Thane borrowed his father's Scolipede to use in battles.

Trivia

• Scolipede's name is a combination of "Scolopendra" (a genus of centipedes) and "centipede" or "millipede".
