We can sit around complaining all day, but it won’t change anything. Kids print money, and Game Freak knows it.
However, Pokémon’s conceptual art department is often inspired by sick minds. The results are disturbing, to say the least.
The design of most Pokémon may be childlike and friendly, but there is a dark and sinister truth behind some of these masks….. that bears a strong resemblance to the BTK assassin.
There aren’t many overtly disturbing Pokémon designs, since the games are geared towards children. So I focus on the implicit connotations of certain Pokémon and their Pokédex, or at least most of this ranking.
20. necrosis
Necrosma slides down, not because he’s dark or scary, but because his existence must be downright terrifying to the Pokémon world.
This Pokémon is capable of destroying universes.
Not just planets or solar systems, but entire universes.
It is so powerful that its light can be seen through various timelines and wormholes.
Necrosma is capable of destroying reality as everyone knows it, and no one seems to be talking about it.
19. Buzzsaw
Buzzword gets a glorified comfort spot on my list, just because I’m jealous of him.
He is the Apex Predator with a body every man dreams of. I’m more of a Likitung, but I can dream.
Aside from being absolutely torn, we have to remember that Buzzwolf is an insect.
Imagine one of those things coming at you. If that’s not a disturbing picture, I don’t know what is.
18. Probopas
I know Probopas has a big fan base. Yes.
He has a busted mustache like Nigel from Wild Thornberry, so I’ll give a pass to those who like this Mon.
But, I’m more of a cricket mustache kind of guy.
Probopa’s mustache makes me nervous. She’s so bushy, and those dead eyes that come out of nowhere, ugh….. It gives me the creeps.
17. Nidoquin
I love Nidquin.
But it’s a Pokémon in a fucking bikini.
I’m sorry, but this glorified dinosaur has evoked a generational childhood trauma in me, and that bothers me more than anything else I can think of.
Maybe you like it, but I think it bothers you too.
But just in case you want your own Nidoquin, check out our huge list of nicknames for this monstrous female dinosaur.
16. Crackable
We already had Pokémon with crabs and lobsters, so whose idea was it to introduce this nightmare fuel into my Gen VII?
Look at his face and tell me it’s not terrible.
Its severely messed up hair, nose, teeth, eyes, legs and arms have become one of the most visually disturbing Pokémon I’ve ever seen.
I really don’t know why Game Freak introduced this thing …… But I hope they never do it again.
15. Pinsier
Pinsier scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
If none of us find it scary these days, I’m sure you can understand why children see it differently.
The horn wasn’t very good, but it’s those teeth that give me the most excitement.
It’s probably the fact that the teeth are vertical that makes them look so scary, but it’s more than that, it’s the way they move in the anime.
This Pokémon just looks scarier than any previous generation, so I put it at #15, even though it’s not particularly disturbing in context.
14. Darkrai
Darkrai is one of my favorite legends of all time.
But there’s no denying that this is one of the most disturbing Pokemon nightmares, literally.
He plunges those around him into horrible nightmares.
I don’t know about you, but I suffered from nightmares as a kid, so I know what really bad nightmares are.
If they can get near you, there is no place for them except in a group of the most disruptive and annoying Poké.
13. Charpede
Aside from his horribly suggestive name, Sharpedo is still an example of why Pokémon shouldn’t be real.
It’s not scary or frightening in the traditional sense.
But the idea that it could be real is absolutely terrifying.
It’s just a decapitated shark head and fast. That’s it.
Imagine how much scarier JAWS would be if the shark was just a living head with no body. That’s what Sharpedo is.
Not to mention that he looks like a constant wreck with his red eyes, and has teeth sharp enough to rip you to shreds.
If Pokémon were real, I guarantee you we’d hunt Sharpedo to extinction.
12. Shiinotsky
Blood and Pokémon couldn’t be more different if they tried.
But I expect at least one of you to play both games there.
If not, don’t worry. And if so, doesn’t Shinotik remind you of the Celestial Emissaries?
He is a disturbing little mushroom man who glows in the dark.
And if that wasn’t enough, people who walked in its light at night could never find their way back. So he kidnaps people too, and I bet he eats them.
11. Parasect
Parasect is the scary OG Pokémon we all know.
He’s a zombie, to put it bluntly.
He has a fungal infection that has taken over his brain, killing the crab beneath him and reanimating his corpse.
The worst part is that it’s all based on a real mushroom. This fungal infection only affects ant colonies, but does exactly what it says on the tin: It zombifies them.
Fun fact: Our latest zombie virus is also based on this fungus. So, in a way, Parasect is a clicker before clickers were cool.
10. Grimmsnarl
Ugly.
A big, stinking, ugly boy.
This is definitely my least favorite Pokémon of all time. Surprisingly, this is one of the features of the 3-stage developments for Generation IX.
He’s a humanoid elf with a small waist, ugly pecs, thighs that shouldn’t work, and his entire body is covered in hair.
It’s not scary. But I think it’s so ugly that it could easily be considered boring. If you really like the design of these Pokémon, keep playing Digimon and leave us alone.
9. Lykilik
My hatred for Likilchik is well documented, so this is just another notch in the beltway.
In fact, I think this pink monster has been on more of my lists than any other Pokémon.
Instead of being scary and disturbing for some bizarre fantasy reason, Liquilik has settled into reality.
It’s a big pink ball with a disgusting permanent that licks people against their will.
I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a very specific category of criminal behavior.
8. Drakovish / All-Fossil Production IX
Generation IX Fossil Pokemon are crimes against nature.
And I’m not just saying that. Expect Detective Luker to take out Kara Liss in an upcoming game.
If these Pokémon were real, you’d expect them to be in constant pain.
It’s genetic splicing in the worst possible way.
They’re clearly not designed to look like that or function like that, so they’re all basically the Pokémon equivalent of Frankenstein’s monster.
Nothing is more disturbing than what could be considered a crime against Arceus himself, but Kara Liss clearly fears neither gods nor masters.
7. Cadabra
The first Cadabra was human.
This is the current canon of the games, according to the Dex entries for Pokémon Red Fire and Emerald.
These data are as follows:
It happened one morning – a boy with psychic powers woke up in a bed that became Cadabra.
Nothing is more disturbing and frightening than waking up one morning to find that you’ve been turned into a Pokémon.
Your entire life disappears before your eyes, and your only goal is to battle other Pokémon. No one will know it was you.
6. Schedinia
Shedinja is one of the most unique Pokémon in the entire series.
Getting there is fascinating, but a bit tedious.
Pokémon itself, however, is like a ninja that never got over its emotional phase.
In other words: It has no soul, and I mean that literally.
It’s a living, hollow shell. How he can fight is only a matter of time.
But what’s worse: It must be a trap for the mind of anyone looking at his back from behind.
Guess what you’re looking at every time you send one into battle?
5. The point is that
Oh, the possibilities here are endless.
They are endless for anyone living in the Pokémon universe.
You know exactly what I mean: You’ve seen the comics. The fact that you and I know he’s a hottie somewhere is disturbing enough that Ditto belongs in the top 5 of this list.
If this all sounds like cryptic gibberish, then consider yourself lucky and move on.
Or if you want to go down that rabbit hole, you can start here.
4. Cofagrigus
It’s a living sarcophagus that, ironically, isn’t all that scary.
Still, the Pokédex entries for Kofagrigus and his pre-evolutionary Janmaska are downright terrifying.
First, Janmaska is wearing the face she had when she was human. Sometimes he looks at her and cries.
What?
Cofagrigus will mummify anyone who comes near him.
So I have a theory.
What if the people Kofagrig mummified became Janmasks?
That seems to be the case. And that sounds like the plot of some Resident Evil-like games, not Pokémon.
3. Disklops
The Duskull Line has always been a concern.
The design was a step above the Gastly line that preceded it.
But what really set this trio apart for me were the Disklop moves in the Pokedex.
It reads as follows:
Soklop’s body is completely empty, there’s nothing in it. They say his body looks like a black hole. This Pokémon absorbs anything and everything, but nothing ever comes back.
That should be more than enough reason to add it to this list.
2. Palossand
I love Palossand for a number of reasons.
It has a fantastic design with one of the smartest and brightest sprites Game Freak eggheads have ever invented.
However, the entrance to the Pokedex is much darker than the innocent sandcastle suggests.
In plain English: The bones of those whose life force he drained are buried beneath the castle.
Another open entry indicates that Palossand eats the small Pokémon and sucks up their life essence while they are still alive.
I’ve heard that Palossand eats small Pokémon and children, and consumes them alive.
1. Cube
What could be more disturbing than literally burning the skin off little Pichu’s bones while he screams in pain?
Nothing, really. But Kubona gets the top spot from me, because it’s my girlfriend’s favorite Pokémon, and it sits right above my shoulder.
We all know what is said about Kubon, what he is, and whether or not he is a child of Kangas Khan.
Whatever the answer, there’s no denying that Kubon is a man with problems.
I mean, who wears their dead mother’s skull in a hat?
This is the behavior of a serial killer. It’s like a real Norman Bates-style fashion.
This should be more worrying than 99% of the things on this list, because it’s all based on how you think about eating babies and toddlers.
