Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are simply rife with Pokemon inspired by everyday objects. From key rings to kettles, and now to balls of yarn. That’s right, Tarountula might be the cutest ball of yarn you’ll ever see. But don’t underestimate it – those shiny silky strings that enshroud its abdomen might look like something your grandmother might knit a sweater out of, but it’s actually quite strong. Strong enough, in fact, to ward off the blades of the predatory mantis, Scyther.
That’s a pretty big step up from Johto’s Spinarak.
That being said, it’s unlikely to give you much trouble. For some reason, those strings aren’t hard enough to avoid the attacks of a persistent Sprigatito. Here’s how to get Tarountula in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
