Attributes

Araquanid is a dual-type Water/Bug Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Type: Water / Bug

Abilities:

Water Bubble: Halves the damage taken from Fire-type moves, prevents burn, and doubles the power of Araquanid's Water-type moves.
Water Absorb (Hidden Ability): Restores HP if hit by a Water-type move instead of taking damage.

Physical Characteristics:

Araquanid resembles a large arachnid, specifically inspired by a water spider.
It has a distinct large bubble on its head, used for capturing prey and protecting itself.
Its body is predominantly blue and green, with long, spindly legs.
It features a menacing pair of eyes on its head bubble, and its actual eyes are small and located on a small head protruding from the body.

Behavior and Habitat:

Araquanid tends to be found near bodies of water, such as ponds, lakes, and rivers.
It is known for its protective nature, often safeguarding smaller Pokémon by sheltering them within its water bubble.
Araquanid is solitary by nature but can be protective of its territory and any Pokémon it deems under its care.

In Battle:

Araquanid is known for its impressive defensive capabilities and strong Water-type attacks.
Signature moves include Liquidation, a powerful Water-type move, and Leech Life, a Bug-type move that drains the opponent's health.
It is particularly effective against Fire, Ground, and Rock types due to its Water/Bug typing and Water Bubble ability.
However, it is vulnerable to Electric and Flying-type moves.

Evolution:

Araquanid evolves from Dewpider starting at level 22.
Dewpider is a smaller, less formidable version of Araquanid, but it shares the distinctive water bubble feature.

Interesting Facts:

Araquanid's ability, Water Bubble, is unique in its combination of effects, making it a formidable opponent in battles.
The design of Araquanid is based on the diving bell spider, which uses air bubbles to breathe underwater.
Despite its fearsome appearance, Araquanid is known to be gentle and caring towards those it protects.
Araquanid's presence in a habitat is often seen as beneficial, as it controls the population of smaller, more annoying insect Pokémon.

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.
