Commentary:
For the longest time, I thought that Spiritomb was a legendary as you had to go out of your way to obtain this Pokemon. But nope, my little kid brain was wrong like normal. It is just a normal basic Pokemon with a different way of obtaining it. Whenever I faced this Pokemon was against Cynthia, I remember is that it would always uses embargo for no reason and was easily K.O.ed (That's why I was like what a weak legendary Pokemon this, but welp it isn't a legendary Pokemon. At least in the TCG, it had a short spell on being usable as the one from Unbroken Bonds had the ability Building Sprite putting one damage counter on this Pokemon per turn. Then, you could pack a heavy hit with
Anguish Cry as the Pokemon would do more damage for each damage counter on this Pokemon, and with items like cape of toughness allowing Spiritomb to do more damage and scoop of net to basically full heal your Spiritomb, Spiritomb could pack quite a heavy punch for only one prize card.
Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex, Spiritomb is bounded to the Odd Keystone as a punishment about 500 years ago (sheesh what did it do to recieve this punshiment). As you will see later, Spiritomb is formed by 108 spirits. Legends Arceus is the only entry with something saying different than what is mention above. It mentions that Spiritomb can lay curses by thinking wicked thoughts and was born out of the assembly of 5 score and 8 malevolent spirits (Not 108 spirits... huh?
).
Fun Facts:
1. Well this Pokemon is heavily associated with number 108 the amount of relation with this Pokemon is insane so here we go...
3. This Pokemon is based upon many cultures... here we go another list
