* The music used for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdQgHfVEGtk Distortion World]] really does capture the very separate-from-reality type of feel that the Distortion World (Or "Torn World" in Japanese) is supposed to have. Despite being creepy in it's own right, it's also... eerily beautiful. Tranquil, even.

* Haina Desert's theme is very unsettling when compared to past deserts, with the eerie ringing that plays throughout. It doesn't help that it's name means "Cruel Desert" in Hawaiian.

Ruins of Alph radio original video was deleted. Pokemon Mansion isn't a Lavender Town area, so it should be separate. Also, I'm slowly adding more musical context to this page, because many entries don't describe the music itself

It got [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g76W944CXzo toned down]] and sounded almost touching in some of the later games, but it didn't stop fan remixes from cranking the scary aspect UpToEleven.

* The Hall of Origin itself is designed to creep players out given the place's [[PrimalFear ridiculous]] [[VertigoEffect height]] and the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-HFTjzXF_g eerie music]], which is the title screen music, backwards.
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GOhUE-D9bg music]] from the Silph Co. building in the original Pokémon games, which has been taken over by Team Rocket.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N98rwBUMNPw The music in the background]] of the Ruins of Alph in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon HeartGold And SoulSilver]]''.
* Team Rocket's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vSNOEK2b-A evolution signal]] at Lake of Rage. A level of cacophony that wouldn't sound out of place in a [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] song.
* The original games had a lot of creepy music. The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNJJ-QkZ8cM Lavender Town theme]] is just the first of many examples, such as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPH9bT2Agc0 Viridian Forest,]] the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koAnijvXHcs Celadon Rocket Hideout,]] the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7jPkE5np10 Mahogany]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7jPkE5np10 Rocket Hideout,]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciKUxg5wtg4 Pokémon Mansion,]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWTK5IrtAtE Pokémon Tower,]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALBTQMzD2so Dark Cave,]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWrq8rY47Oo&feature=related Ilex Forest...]]
** In ''[=HeartGold=]'' and ''[=SoulSilver=]'', most of the scarier themes have been toned down. However, the GB Sounds item will change the music back to its original 8-bit form, restoring the creepiness.
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bCX-VTEJBM music that plays]] when meeting the legendary birds in ''Platinum'' (Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres) is made unexpectedly disturbing by the fact they're roaming Pokémon in that game, and as such, they can [[JumpScare appear]] [[ParanoiaFuel anytime]].
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7SrUYEKMOg&feature=related the music that plays when battling the Regis]] gives an ominous sense of ancient [[ShapedLikeItself ominousness]].
** Similarly, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4MrH2h2NUU Kyogre/Groudon/Rayquaza battle music,]] best described as "just as scary as the [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Raikou-Suicune-Entei]] battle theme's [[ScareChord first notes]], only with [[ForDoomTheBellTolls bells]] and with [[UpToEleven the scariness lasting throughout the whole song."]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db1XootTkRQ Giratina's battle music.]] It's like it's saying, "you're in my world now".
* The ''Crystal'' legendary beast BGM. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exG220Mur04&feature=related This song]] would be okay for the scripted event battle against Suicune, but not against against the roaming ([[ParanoiaFuel read: randomly-appearing]]) Raikou and Entei.
* The drought section in ''Pokémon Ruby'', when Maxie disturbs Groudon and the sun's rays are magnified to a dangerous level. All the music that plays in outdoor areas (including the happy, upbeat surfing and bike riding sounds) is replaced with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxwfl_-P2gI a morbid and minimalistic track]]. Coupled with the pulsating bright lighting, the effect is unpleasant.
** In ''Sapphire'', during that part the world begins to continually rain. In Sootopolis, everyone is inside their houses cowering, which makes sense as Sootopolis is pretty much a giant secluded basin about going to flood and drowning everyone in it. At the moment where Archie goes "MyGodWhatHaveIDone", [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3T0O2vJJQc the music]] that starts is one of the scariest things in any video game.
** ''Emerald'' combines the best of both worlds because both teams wake up their mascots simultaneously: it goes back and forth between pulsing heat rays and flooding.
** And ''Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire'' make both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4vdxypeLxU Drought]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL-O0OfhzMM Heavy Rainfall]] '''even creepier'''.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMavg1Y6wBg&feature=related Mt. Pyre's indoor theme,]] as expected from Hoenn's "Pokémon Tower equivalent".
** This creepy theme is also used for the inside of Shoal Cave (north of Mossdeep City,) causing the otherwise not-scary-in-the-slightest cave to take on a decidedly creepy atmosphere.
* ''VideoGame/PokemonRanger: Guardian Signs'' has an in-universe example; there was a song that was banned for being too scary for kids, talking about black clouds and lightning. Bonus points for the book containing it being found in a haunted mansion.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFGCRxmqMkA This]] unused Pokémon track from ''Pokémon Yellow'', said to have meant to be used during a scene where players walk into the grass before getting their first Pokémon, and doing anything but run results in the message "Hurry, get away!"
* The music used for the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdQgHfVEGtk Distortion World]] really does capture the very separate-from-reality type of feel that the Distortion World (Or "Torn World" in Japanese) is supposed to have. Despite being creepy in it's own right, it's also... eerily beautiful. Tranquil, even.
** When you switch from Spear Pillar's music to Distortion World's upon arrival, you get the eerie feeling that reality just ''crashed'' right there.
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwlD5UPqfAw music]] used in the Old Chateau (among other places) in the ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' games is downright creepy: it has everything - including the mandatory piano - to fit the Haunted Mansion it plays in.
* Considering how cute the Emotion trio from ''Diamond and Pearl'' are, their [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXsBks4HRls battle theme]] is surprisingly creepy.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w12R_PmXHEM&feature=related Deoxys's theme.]] [[ForDoomTheBellTolls Bong, bong, bong.]]
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJCn3LxRo3w&feature=related music]] that plays during a battle with an Event Pokémon (like Victini) in ''Black and White''. It sounds okay at first, but after a while, it starts getting increasingly - and subtly - deranged.
* The final battle music in ''Black and White'' with [[spoiler:Ghetsis]]. Creepy pounding timpani drums, [[ScareChord striking, chilling chords]], and OminousLatinChanting.
** [[NightmareRetardant Somewhat lessened]] when you all you can hear is the choir chanting: [[{{Mondegreen}} Den-nis... DEN-NIS!]]
*** That sound you hear in the song is technically Ghetsis' name. His name comes from that chord you hear: "G-cis".
* Years after the release of ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', an incomplete, [[DummiedOut unused track]] has been found in the game's coding. Although it sounds like it could have potential as an actual song (with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Eu1VX5lz0 fanmade restorations of it indicating]] such), the track almost seems like it could rival the Lavender Town theme in terms of creepiness. Listen to it in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wBsA5Bh4d0 this video]].
* ''Black 2 and White 2'' let us revisit Team Plasma's castle [[spoiler:which is located under Victory Road and almost completely in ruins]]. Of course, this also includes N's room, and while this has always been something to send shivers down the spines of several players, we are now greeted by this ''wonderful'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7VORG3t2sA remix]] of N's music box version theme. The key is off, you can clearly hear the musicbox not running smoothly anymore, and all in all, it fits to a room that [[spoiler:is as devasted as the rest of the castle, complete with no lights, N's toys scattered everywhere]]. Brrr...
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gLIi2jAW_c The music]] that plays after [[spoiler:Opelucid City is frozen by Team Plasma]] in ''Black 2 and White 2''. To make this music seem even more depressing/disturbing is by imagining how many innocent people had probably died from that.
* The Strange House. Not only does the furniture move as you traverse the building, the music that plays during it makes things very uncomfortable. [[spoiler:It does not help when you learn about the vanishing girl on Marvelous Bridge from ''Black and White'' at the end of the maze]].
** Word to the wise, never go through the Strange House on max volume when you're home alone at night.
* The rather overlooked [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YusMWmwgMlo Galactic Hideout depths theme]] is ''extremely creepy''. The sheer eeriness of the scene where it plays really doesn't help....
