Arbok evolves from Ekans at Level 22. It is a terrifically strong cobra-like creature that can constrict most things with its body, even capable of flattening steel oil drums. Once it wraps its body around a foe, escape is said to be impossible. It is also well-known for the face-like pattern on its belly, which it uses to transfix its prey before binding and poisoning it. Weak foes will flee just at the sight of it. It has been rumored that these frightening warning marks differ from area to area, with studies conforming at six different variations.
 
 
 
One method of intimidation is to spread its chest wide and make eerie sounds by expelling air from its mouth. Arbok is also known for its vengeful nature. It will never give up the chase once it targets its prey, no matter how far it goes. Likely because of this vicious nature and its poisonous abilities, it is commonly used by members of criminal organizations such as [[Team Rocket]].

==Video Games==
 
 
 
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Arbok was represented by a Novice-rank Primary [[Spirit]]. When fought against in a Spirit battle, Arbok's Spirit would possess [[Ridley]] in a battle with a poisonous floor and in which the player character's attack power was reduced.
 
 
 
==In Other Media==
 
 
 
*Within the ''Pokémon'' anime series, Jessie's own Ekans evolved into an Arbok partway through the Kanto series, at the same time that James's [[Koffing]] evolved into a [[Weezing]]. Although they were menacing at first, they soon were dispatched as easily as their pre-evolved forms by Ash and his friends. Arbok and Weezing still remained as the main Team Rocket Pokémon for several more seasons until early into the Hoenn episodes, when Arbok and Weezing wound up staying behind to protect a group of wild Ekans and Koffing from poachers.
 
*In the Pokémon Adventures manga, [[Koga]] and [[Agatha]] both owned Arbok that they used in battle. Koga's was notable for its regenerative properties, even re-growing part of its own head at one point. Agatha's could switch between several patterns which gave it different abilities, such as one that increased its attack and another that raised its defense.
 
*In the ''Electric Tale of Pikachu'' manga, Jessie's Arbok appears as her primary Pokémon just as in the early anime.
 
 
 
=Trivia=
 
 
 
*Arbok's name is simply a play on "cobra", spelled backwards and with a "k" in place of a "c".
