Skorupi is a poisonous scorpion-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fourth generation games. Its evolved form is Drapion.

Information

Skorupi resembles a purple scorpion with a clawed tail and claw-like horns on its head. They usually live in arid lands, where they bury themselves in sand to wait for unsuspecting prey. A Skorupi will grip its prey with its tail claws and immediately inject its poison, tenaciously hanging on until the poison takes effect. Skorupi is actually capable of surviving a year without food.

It evolves into Drapion at Level 40.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: Diamond, Pearl and Platinum Versions, Skorupi was found only at the Great Marsh. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, they could appear in the Wasteland area if enough Rock objects were present.

Other Appearances

In Other Media

• In the anime, Skorupi was most notably shown as one of Aaron's Pokémon during the Sinnoh series, although it has not been shown in battle and has usually been shown in a pet-like manner. Other Skorupi have made more minor appearances in other episodes.
• In the Pokémon Adventure manga, a Skorupi was featured in a chapter of the Diamond/Pearl arc in which Platinum attempted to catch one at the Great Marsh, although she ultimately failed.

Trivia

• Its name is a truncation of "scorpion", particularly its Japanese spelling.
