Conrad's Spiritomb

Conrad's Spiritomb (Japanese: イッセーのミカルゲ Issei's Mikaruge) is Conrad's main Pokemon in all media he appears in.

Original anime
This Spiritomb is the same Spiritomb that appeared in the anime episode The Keystone Pops!, where it was released by accident during 's training. In the end, however, Spiritomb was imprisoned yet again.

Current time
Spiritomb remained aware of its second defeat for more than 20 years, stewing in its own hatred, itching for the chance to be free again. It got its chance when Conrad, still bitter from its bad experience from his Monferno and angered by the League's defeat of his father, attacked the Hallowed Tower out of spite. Doing so dislodged the Odd Keystone, allowing Spiritomb to be free once again. Spiritomb initially intended to attack Conrad, but it saw the power and hate in his eyes and felt that he could help it become stronger. The two reached an agreement, and Conrad captured the Forbidden Pokemon. Conrad later used Spiritomb to take out his anger on the Unown of Solaceon Ruins, capturing ten of them, including one abnormally powerful one.

When Conrad set out to form the Gym Slayers alongside Slater, he took Spiritomb with him on his way to the Kanto region.

Personality and characteristics
As a result of simmering in its defeat for more than two decades, Spiritomb is a dark and foreboding Pokemon that looks as if it will lash out at any moment. It is highly sadistic, often laughing as it unleashes attacks.

Notably, Spiritomb has a murderous hatred toward the entire Pikachu line and will quickly go all-out to cause them pain.
