Eats the eggs of birds, such as Pidgey, and Spearow, whole. The older it gets, the longer it grows. At night, it wraps its long body around tree branches to rest. It can freely detach its jaw to swallow large prey whole. It can become too heavy to move, however. It always hides in grass. When first born, it has no poison, so its bite is painful, but harmless. It flutters the tip of its tongue to seek out the scent of prey, then swallows the prey whole. 60 85 69 80 65 359 35 60 44 55 40 54 288

This reptilian Pokémon resembles a snake (its English name even being the word "snake" spelled backward while other languages use an anagram of the word "boa"). It has a rattle at the tip of its tail, and is mostly purple while its underbelly, eyes, rattle, and the "bands" on it are yellow. Ekans are able to detach their jaws to swallow large prey whole, although this makes their bodies heavy. It can also use its tongue to sense danger, and can move quietly through the grass. Like actual snakes, Ekans will lash out with a bite when frightened by anything it sees as a threat. If one happens to be bitten by a young Ekans, they are lucky. As an Ekans, it doesn't possess the ability to add poison to its bite until after it evolves into an Arbok, though this last bit of information clashes with Ekans's dungeon phrase. Ekans live in grassy savannas, and plains. Ekans' favorite food is eggs from Pidgey, and Spearow nests. It appears to be based upon a boa, and rattlesnake. The name Ekans is the word "snake" backwards.
