Its name is a combination from galvan, referencing to the Italian scientific Luigi Galvani, creator of the galvanometer, a tool used to measure electrical current, and tula, coming from tarantula, the animal it represents. Dentula (デンチュラ), its Japanese name, comes from denki, that stands for electicity, and taranchura, tarantula in English.
Galvantula is based on a Ornithoctoninae, also known as earth tigers, a kind of tarantula colored cobalt-blue. These kind of tarantulas come from Thailand, Myanmar. You can't easily recognise males from females until their last shed.
It lives in dense and big forests along Joltik, its preevolution, where they create spider webs for the offsprings to live. In the same spider webs other Pokémon are caught and they can be preserved for a time, then Galvantula eat it and feed the Joltik. When attacked, it shoots electrical shreds to create a barrier and escape to its hideout.
Joltik, the smallest known Pokémon, evolves to Galvantula at level 36. Galvantula doesn't evolve. Both Joltik and Galvantula are the only Bug/Electric-type Pokémon existing.
