Dewpider(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Water/Bug Pokémon introduced in the seventh generation in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It evolves into Araquanid starting at level 22.

Physiology and Behavior[]

Dewpider is a Pokémon resembling a spider with a water bubble over its head. Its head and most of its abdomen are dark gray, while its thorax and six legs are light green. All of its legs are thin with a knobby joint in the middle, and three of its legs are typically used to anchor the bubble on its head. The green on its thorax extends onto its abdomen in three triangular markings. There are also several triangular flaps that extend upward and attach to the bubble over its head. The head itself has large light blue eyes with darker pupils and sclerae, two blue bumps on top, and a light green mouth similar to a spinneret. There is an actual spinneret on the tip of its abdomen, which the anime has shown as capable of producing both silk and water bubbles.

Dewpider can only breathe oxygen dissolved in water, so the bubble over its head allows it to breathe on land. Additionally, the bubble provides protection to its soft head and can be slammed into both prey and enemies. If two Dewpider meet, they compare bubbles and the one with the smaller bubble will move out of the way.

Pokédex Entries[]

Title Entry
Seventh Pokémon generation
Pokémon Sun It crawls onto the land in search of food. Its water bubble allows it to breathe and protects its soft head.
Pokémon Moon When it comes across enemies or potential prey, this Pokémon smashes its water-bubble-covered head into them.
Pokémon Ultra Sun When two Dewpider meet, they display their water bubbles to each other. Then the one with the smaller bubble gets out of the other's way.
Pokémon Ultra Moon It can only breathe oxygen that has dissolved in water, so it wears a water bubble on its head when it walks around on land.
Eighth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Sword It forms a water bubble at the rear of its body and then covers its head with it. Meeting another Dewpider means comparing water-bubble sizes.
Pokémon Shield Dewpider normally lives underwater. When it comes onto land in search of food, it takes water with it in the form of a bubble on its head.
Ninth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Scarlet Dewpider uses sticky threads to create the water bubble that covers its head, so the bubble very rarely bursts.
Pokémon Violet It supports the water bubble that envelops its head with three of its legs. Sometimes it secretly swaps which legs are holding up the bubble.
