Hmm ok i see it now and I'd totally get that "spider" now lmao
Bulbapedia says it's both.
Its Pokédex entry states that it latches onto to larger Pokémon to drain the static electricity off them, so it may be based on a tick, though its size seems to imply it is based on a mite. Like its evolution, it is also based on a tarantula, or a jumping spider.
blech, ticks are disgusting. I'm just going to assume it's not a tick
Well, it's part jumping spider. And jumping spiders arent the bad kind of spiders nor ticks.
Jumping spiders i don't mind, they're more amusing than anything
I don't want a spider jumping at me. D:
But jumping spiders are adorable, harmless, and really small. Theyre all over the place near Skelington, and ive not once seen one jump.
Good night dolls. :>
