Question

What are all the spider-based Pokemon?

Answer 1

I looked through the PokéDex and only found five spider-based Pokémon (oddly, none of them have eight legs):

• Spinarak
  
• Ariados
  
• Galvantula
  
• Dewpider
  

• Araquanid
  

• And maybe Joltik
  

Let me know if I missed any!

You forgot Joltik (based on a Jumping spider or a Tarantula)

Aren't scorpions related to spiders? I'd like to mention Skorupi, Drapion, Gligar and Gliscor if this is the case.

---

I always thought Joltik was based on, well, a tick. I can see the resemblance to the jumping spider, though, so I'll add it in. And scorpions are arachnids, yes, but the Skorupi and Gligar families are based on scorpions specifically. The asker only asked for spider-inspired Pokémon.

Also Metagross

---

You forgot surskit which is literally a water spider

---

No, Surskit and Metagross are not spiders (also water striders are not spiders)

---

You forgot Durant

---

Isn't that an ant?

---

You forgot Psyduck

"Psyduck's design appears to draw inspiration from both ducks and platypuses."
@Fizz I think its not based on a spider, rather than ducks and platypuses.

---

LOL, this is the first time seeing a Moderator/Admin being stupid.

---

@Fizz Nooooo I'm not that monstrous eight-legged insect. >:(
I literally have arachnophobia (fear of spiders), how can I be the thing I fear the most?

Jokes aside, I agree with Frozen in that psyducks arent based on spiders. They dont have a single body characteristic matching with that of spiders.

@ShinyDrago Fizz aint stupid, everyone makes mistakes.

Edit: Dang it, Fizz was joking. Never saw that coming haha!

---

I'm devastated that you all think I was serious, lol

---

lmao fizz. All serious Fizz when suddenly turns to humorous mode isn't recognisable.

---

Agreed. If it was someone else saying that I would've instantly recognised they were joking. I've legit never seen Fizz joke here before lol, or maybe I'm just new.
