Overview |
Arbok are vicious hunters--and vengeful ones at that. If attacked, they will chase down opponents relentlessly until they catch them. Arbok are masters of intimidation. The patterns on their bellies can paralyze foes in fear. These belly patterns differs from area to area. If the patterns alone are insufficient, they can also make eerie hissing noises by expelling air slowly from their mouths. Once their prey are immobilized, Arbok will constrict them with a crushing force able to flatten steel oil drums. They can easily poison stronger foes, weakening them enough for them to constrict easily. Surprisingly, Arbok are rather adept swimmers as well, capable of crossing lakes and rivers effortlessly. Notably, Arbok seem to become mesmerized and peaceful upon hearing the sound of wind instruments like Poké Flutes. An Arbok in the middle of constricting its prey will even loosen its grip upon hearing such sounds. Because of this, Poké Flutes have become one of the most reliable ways to deal with aggressive Arbok, with some cultures even developing performances out of the art.
