Biology
Skorupi is a Pokémon that looks like a gigantic pale purple scorpion. It has two stingers and a claw tail because its claws and tail have been switched. White is the color of the small jaws, claws, and tail claws. Its limbs are immediately linked to its head, next to its turquoise eyes. Its eyes are joined by a pointed marking. The body, tail end, and other two tail segments are a deeper blue, whereas the head, arms, two tail segments, and all four legs are light blue.
It burrows itself in sand and waits for unsuspecting prey, grasping it with its tail claws and injecting poison; it will then cling to the victim until the poison takes effect. Skorupi and Sizzlipede are connected via a common ancestor. Skorupi may be found in deserts and arid locations like Reversal Mountain, as well as swampy areas like the Great Marsh. Skorupi is regarded as a hazardous Pokémon owing to its poisonous claws. Skorupi, on the other hand, cannot tolerate cold temperatures and becomes weaker when exposed.
Evolution family
