Yazmyne's Spinarak is a /-Type Pokemon and is the second Pokemon Yazmyne caught during her travels in the Kanto region as well as her third Pokemon overall.
==History==
===Battles Ablaze===
Spinarak debuted in To Capture a Pokemon! after Yazmyne captured a Pidgey. Attracted by the battle, Spinarak came down on a web of String Shot and landed on Yazmyne. When the girl noticed, she promptly screamed. In the next episode it is revealed that Yazmyne had captured Spinarak after Bulbasaur knocked her out in Yazmyne's defense.
Early on, Spinarak began to show tremendous attachment to Yazmyne, jealous that he wasn't going to be used in the Viridian City Contest. Yazmyne reassured Spirarak that she would compete in her Pewter City gym battle, and they trained for the battle in Buzz Buzz Bug Buzz where Spinarak learned Night Shade. 
Yazmyne's Pewter City battle took place in Rock Crushers! against Leader Forrester. Spinarak battled first, facing Forrest's Geodude. Spinarak poisoned Geodude to compensate for her type disadvantage and emerged victorious. She then battled Forrest's Rhyhorn. Spinarak was quickly defeated, but poisoned Rhyhorn, giving Bulbasaur the edge, which helped Yazmyne win the Boulder Badge. 
Spinarak's next major battle was in Officially Rivals! in Yazmyne and Daniel's 2-on-2 battle. Spinarak battled second, facing Daniel's Popplio. To counter Popplio's musical abilities, Yazmyne had Spinarak use String Shot to cover her mouth and poison her with Poison Sting. Popplio managed to free her mouth with Bubble Beam and prevent Spinarak from moving by icing the field with Icy Wind. A subsequent Bubble Beam knocked out Spinrak and lost Yazmyne the battle.
In Treading Along the Lavender Path!, Spinarak was Yazmyne's third choice in her battle against Megan. She battled Megan's Pichu and faired rather poorly, being stunned by a Sweet Kiss and knocked out by a Volt Tackle.
In Best Bug in Show!, Yazmyne entered Spinarak in a Bug Contest orchestrated by Aaron of the Sinnoh Elite Yazmyne chose Spinarak over Butterfree because Butterfree was already competing in regular Kanto Contests whereas Spinarak has not. In the first round of the competition, Aaron assigned Yazmyne and Spinarak to knit a blanket with very specific floral designs with her Spider Web and other materials that were provided to them. Yazmyne and Spinarak only completed 4/5 of the blanket's pre-determined designs, but the pair were able to still present a beautiful product that allowed them to advance to the second round. In the second leg of the competition, Yazmyne and Spinarak had to navigate through a forest and become one of the first eight people to reach the end of the maze. Yazmyne, Nick, and Megumi teamed together. During the exploration, Spinarak's role was to leave a trail with her webs so the team did not walk the same path twice, and with Spinarak's help, Yazmyne and her friends entered the third and final route. For the final round, Aaron had the eight remaining competitors perform just as in a normal Pokemon Contest with him and two other has judges. For Spinarak's appeal, she transformed the stage into her domain by weaving a Spider Web. Afterward, Spinarak illuminated her web in a dark light with Night Shade while she posed in the center. Yazmyne and Spinarak were ultimately awarded third place.
In Disobedience and Defeat!, Spinarak battled as Yazmyne's second Pokemon in her rival battle against Daniel. Spinarak faced Misdreavus and demonstrated her new Agility which helped her win the battle unscathed.
Between Playing Ninja I! and Playing Ninja II!, Spinarak battled third in Yazmyne's gym battle against Leader Janine, facing the latter's Grimer. Spinarak and Grimer initially proved evenly matched, as Spinarak struggled to inflict meaningful damage on Grimer's defensive body but Grimer could not land many attacks due to Spinarak's Agility. Grimer made the floor slippery with Mud Bomb, so Spinarak could not move or dodge attacks effectively, Grimer then knock her out with Fire Punch.
Yazmyne had Spinarak battle as her third Pokemon in her gym battle against Erika in Defeat's Glittering and Colorful Spores!, facing Erika's Gloom. Spinarak initially used her speed to overcome Gloom, but she was knocked out by a powerful Solar Beam after begin put to sleep by Sleep Powder. 
Spinarak battled second in Yazmyne's gym battle against Lt. Surge in Crimson Lightning!, facing the leader's Raichu. Due to her small form, Spinarak was unaffected by Raichu's Grass Knock and blinded Raichu with Spider Web to make his Thunderbolt attacks miss. Spinrarak landed enough Poison Sting to poison Raichu and whittled away its health with Night Shade to win the round. Spinarak then faced Surge's Magneton who could not be poisoned. Spinarak developed her speed with Spinarak, but Magneton used Shock Wave to always land its attacks. Spinarak retaliated by landing Night Shade until Magneton blinded her with Mirror Shot, allowing Magneton to defeat Spinarak with a final Shock Wave. 
In Life on the Moomoo Paddock!, a curious Spinarak investigated the Paniola Ranch when Yazmyne and Dante visited Alola. However, she accidentally spooked the wild Tauros, causing them to stampede and accidentally break a large supply of milk, thus forcing Yazmyne and her friends to spend the day working on the farm. While helping Yazmyne on the farm, Spinarak helped the develop fishing nets for the ranch to sell. 
In Wearing the Wrong Face!, Spinarak briefly separated from Yazmyne and Dante when she found one of her favorite berries. Spinarak's Poison Sting proved too weak to dislodge the berry, so she suddenly learned Poison Jab to obtain the fruit. Spinarak was soon found by Megumi who believed Spinarak was hers after her Venomoth accidentally blasted hers away in training. Since Spinarak had lost track of Yazmyne as well, he joined Megumi in searching for Yazmyne and her lost Spinarak. Yazmyne had ultimately found Megumi's Spinarak, and everyone was soon reunited. 
In The Saffron Dojo Showdown!, Spinarak battled second in Yazmyne's gym battle against Leader Koji. Spinarak battled Koji's Hitmonlee and countered Stone Edge by wrapping herself in her very durable silk. Spinarak prevented Hitmonlee from using his feet by tying his legs with String Shot. With Hitmonlee unable to move, Spinarak bombarded him with Night Shade until he was defeated. Spinarak continued to battle Hitmonchan whose Fire Punch buned away Spinarak's attempts at String Shot. Spinarak built her speed with Agility and poisoned Hitmonchan with her new Poison Jab. Hitmonlee still delivered heavy attack, but Spinarak primarily stayed out of range until the poisoned weakened Hitmonchan enough to be defeated by a blast of Night Shade. Spinarak was about to face Koji's Nidoqueen, but Yazmyne could see that Spinarak was incredibly exhausted. She recalled Spinarak before the battle could begin, which was marked by the referee as a defeat. 
In A Decreasing Confidence Interval!, Yazmyne used Spinarak as her last Pokémon in his second round 3-on-3 battle against Park in the Indigo Plateau Conference. Spinrak battled Park's Meditite and she evaded Meditite's Confusion with Agility and set her traps with Spider Web. After enduring Hidden Power attack, Spinrak blasted Meditite with Night Shade twice to knock it out and win the battle for Yazmyne.
During the quarterfinals of the conference, Spinarak battled as Yazmyne's second Pokemon, facing Garrett's Vaporeon in A Promise to a Rival!. Spinarak's main role was to spread as many Spider Webs as possible around the field. Eventually falling, Spinarak fulfilled her role in Yazmyne's plan to prevent Garrett's Pokemon from moving, which nearly won her the battle. 
When Yazmyne departed for the Riau region, Spinarak resided in the Petalburg greenhouse.
===The Orange Saga===
Yazmyne recalled Spinarak from home for her Trovita Island Gym Task. Yazmyne has Spinarak battle as her Bug-Type and her Poison-Type, participating in two battles. Spinarak had the Poison-Test in Trovita's Tower of 18!. She defeated a Weezing by cleverly using Agility and String Shot to quickly wrap herself in a cocoon that absorbed some of the impact of Weezing's explosion. Spinarak was still heavily damaged, but she survived the ordeal to win Yazmyne the poison test. 
Spinarak was properly healed and returned for the Bug Test in A Trial of Emotional Endurance!. She battled a Yanmega and restricted her by filling the stadium with webs. She then restricted Yanmega's wings. Spinarak then kept repeatedly using Night Shade to defeat Yanmega and thus win the Bug Test for her Trainer. 
==Personality and Characteristics==
Spinarak is an affectionate Pokemon who enjoys jumping onto Yazmyne's face for attention or in happiness from winning a battle. Each time, Yazmyne would scream in shock because as much as she loved Spinarak, she found the idea of a fuzzy Bug-Type on her face to be tremendously terrifying.
