What Level Does Tarountula Evolve Into Spidops?
ForPokemon ScarletandVioletplayers that want to use Tarountula in their party but are not sure when (or if) it evolves, do not fret.Tarountula can evolve into Spidops once it reaches level 15. It’snormal for Bug-type Pokemon to evolve really fast, but its stats aren’t the best for those looking for a team to take to Victory Road.
Tarountula and Spidops Stats
Even with the low stats, Spidops can learn some useful moves that can make it a viable party member. It learns Counter at level 24, which can reflect any physical damage two-fold, and it can also learn a cool move called Circle Throw at level 41 that can drag out a different Pokemon from the opponent’s team. If the Fighting-type move is used on a wild Pokemon, it just ends the battle right there.
