Spiritomb (Japanese: ミカルゲ Mikaruge) is a Ghost/Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

Biology

Physiology

Spiritomb are somewhat ghost-like in appearance. It was formed by 108 spirits. The main body of a Spiritomb appears like a purple, swirling vortex with green eyes and a black spiral for a pupil in its left eye. Around its face are green orbs that encircle it. Its "body" is connected to a stone base, with a small fissure in it supposing it was released when the seal was broken half way but still bound to the stone. Spiritomb's mouth is green like its eyes. The "face" of the Odd Keystone is not visible when Spiritomb is present. The shiny variant of Spiritomb has a blue vortex, and purple dots, eyes, and mouth.

Special Abilities

It is said that Spiritomb are composed of 108 spirits, but could as well be the reason for its Pokédex number to be "108" referring to the 108 spirits.

Evolution

Spiritomb does not evolve.

Trivia

• Spiritomb is one of the two Pokémon that are Ghost/Dark-type, the other being Sableye.
• Until the Fairy type was introduced, Spirtomb had no real weakness.
• Spiritomb is highly associated with the number 108. Some of the references to this number are:
  • 108 is its Sinnoh Pokédex number.
  • Spiritomb holds 108 spirits inside it.
  • Its Sp.Def and Defense stats are both 108.
  • Its weight (in kg) is 108.0.
  • Its can be found in Sea Mauville (also known as Route 108).
  • A quest in Pokémon GO involves collecting 108 Berries and catching 108 Pokémon. Once this is completed, Spiritomb is encountered.
• In the Mystery Dungeon Series, Spiritomb retreats into its keystone when it falls asleep.

Origin

Spiritomb might be based on a Buddhist tradition in Japan which involves ringing a bell 108 times to repel 108 temptations in order to achieve Nirvana. It may also be based on a stone monument present in one of the Classic Chinese Novels. This stone monument was ordered to be removed, but upon doing so, unleashes 108 previously sealed demons. Additionally, it may also be based on a type of spirit called a Jibakurei, a ghost that is bound to a single place.

Etymology

Spiritomb comes from spirit and tomb.
