A small green spider, Dewpider cannot breathe air, and requires water to breathe. When it comes onto land, it takes water with it in the form of a bubble on its head.

Design & origin

Dewpider and its evolution are based on the diving bell spider.

  1. 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.

    Shield

  2. 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.

    Sword

  3. 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.

    Ultra Moon

  4. 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.

    Ultra Sun

  5. When it comes across enemies or potential prey, this Pokémon smashes its water-bubble-covered head into them.

    Moon

  6. It crawls onto the land in search of food. Its water bubble allows it to breathe and protects its soft head.
