Pokédex entries

Sun
It delivers headbutts with the water bubble on its head. Small Pokémon get sucked into the bubble, where they drown.
Moon
Despite what its appearance suggests, it cares for others. If it finds vulnerable, weak Pokémon, it protectively brings them into its water bubble.
Ultra Sun
It usually passes its time in the water. When its belly is full, it stores its subdued prey in the water bubble on its head.
Ultra Moon
It has a habit of storing things it values in its water bubble. If its Trainer doesn’t watch out, Araquanid will try to put them in its bubble!
Sword
It launches water bubbles with its legs, drowning prey within the bubbles. This Pokémon can then take its time to savor its meal.
Shield
It acts as a caretaker for Dewpider, putting them inside its bubble and letting them eat any leftover food.

Trivia

Origin

It is based off the diving bell spider, although it's skinny, long legs and slender body also make it resemble a sea spider. The face-like markings on its head may be derived from the happy-face spider, which is native to Hawaii. It may also be based on a helmeted diver or astronaut. It being a spider-like creature associated with rain may be a reference to Matarael, a spider-like Angel from the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series named after the Abrahamic angel of rain.

Etymology

Araquanid is a portmanteau of arachnid and aqua. It may also derive from Arrakis, a desert planet from the Dune series of books, on which non-native lifeforms would need special suits to keep from dehydrating, similar to the function Araquanid's bubble serves.
