Ekans

Description
This Poison type Pokémon can dislocate its jaw to allow consumption. Since it takes 3 hours for consumption of prey, Ekans gives off venom to keep away predators. This reptilian Pokémon resembles a snake (its English name even being the word "snake" spelled backward while other languages use an anagram of the word "boa"). It has a rattle at the tip of its tail, and is mostly purple while its underbelly, eyes, rattle, and the "bands" on it are yellow.
