History EldritchAbomination / Pokemon

** Lightning ([[spoiler:Xurkitree]]) appears to be a living mass of electrical cables arranged in a vaguely humanoid shape, or possibly a Christmas tree. Unlike other AnimateInanimateObject Pokémon, it isn't cute, having a spiky head with [[TheBlack no face.]]

** Burst resembles a MonsterClown with a [[TheBlank faceless spherical head]] that isn't connected to its body which it is able to use as a bomb.
** Assembly appears to be made entirely out of bricks with an eye on each brick. Each brick is actually a separate lifeform.
** Adhesive is a small alien creature with a large slightly insect like head with poison spikes on a tiny body.
* Necrozma is an alien being made out of black crystal that constantly fires lasers by focusing light through its body. [[NothingIsScarier Little is known about is role in the story at this time]] although it is going to play a big role in the upcoming ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'', but evidence suggests that it may be an Ultra Beast that arrived in the distant past unlike the others who only began appearing recently. It's also described as being an extremely vicious Pokémon that attacks its opponents without mercy. In ''Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon'' it is revealed to have the ability to merge with either Solgaleo or Lunala, to turn into its dusk mane form or dawn wings form.

* Out of all the legendary Pokemon, possibly the most eldritch of all is Zygarde. Zygarde is a [[TheWormThatWalks colony of semi independent lifeforms that form together into different shapes]], which normally are spread out all over the region, [[GaiasVengeance only coming together to defend the ecosystem from threats.]] The individual parts of Zygarde resemble oversized single celled organisms, most of which are not sentient except for a few cores that act as Zygarde's brains. When it has 10% of its cells merged it looks like a dog, at 50% it looks like a giant snake, and at 100% it looks like a giant humanoid with four wings that have mouths on the ends. [[BenevolentMonsters Although despite it otherworldly biology, it is actually a very friendly creature.]]

* The Ultra Beasts from ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', a group of mysterious and extremely dangerous beings who are a threat to humans and Pokémon alike. To signify that they simply don't ''belong'' in the world of the games, [[NonStandardCharacterDesign they look bizarre and abstract in comparison to everything else]] and, quite distressingly, several of them seem to [[TheBlank lack a face]]. To make matters worse, on the official website, they are ''not'' classified as Pokémon, despite the fact that this takes place in a world where ''every previous entry'' is considered a Pokémon. [[spoiler: It turns out they ''are'' Pokemon, but they come from different universes, which explains their bizarre characteristics. They can be caught, battled with, and befriended in Pokémon Refresh like any other. Another Pokémon "family" that's thought to also be Ultra Beasts are Cosmog and kin, since they can also create the same kind of wormholes to other worlds, and they also share the ultra beast's trait of all of their base stats being prime numbers.]]

** Symbiont ([[spoiler:Nihilego]]) is a giant shape-shifting, emotionless jellyfish monster whose movements resemble those of a young girl. It produces venom that can cause insanity in people exposed to it. [[spoiler: This is what happened to the BigBad of Sun and Moon. During the final battle, the BigBad becomes [[FusionDance fused together with a Nihilego.]]]] And strangely, despite it's jellyfish like appearance it is a Rock/Poison type and doesn't can't even learn any water type moves.

** Burst resembles a MonsterClown with a [[TheBlank faceless spherical head]] that isn't connected to its body.

** Absorption ([[spoiler: Buzzwole ]]) and Beauty ([[spoiler: Pheromosa]]) resemble [[PettingZooPeople sexy humanoid insects]], the former being muscular and masculine, and the latter skeletal and feminine. These happen to be the ''least'' eldritch of the Ultra Beasts since they at least resemble familiar animals, but they still are very weird in the context of Pokémon because [[NonStandardCharacterDesign their design seems to be in a different art style than most Pokémon]].
** Lightning ([[spoiler: Xurkitree]]) appears to be a living mass of electrical cables arranged in a vaguely humanoid shape, or possibly a Christmas tree. Unlike other AnimateInanimateObject Pokémon, it isn't cute, having a spiky head with no face.
** Blade ([[spoiler: Kartana]]) looks like a swordsman made out of paper. Despite its small size, it is absurdly sharp.
** Blaster ([[spoiler: Celesteela]]) looks like a cross between a woman and a spacecraft, with rockets for arms [[FloatingLimbs that are not visibly connected to its body]] and are also about the same size as its body. It also is said to have plant-like biology and it learns a lot of Grass-type moves even though it is not a Grass-type.
** Glutton ([[spoiler: Guzzlord]]) is a giant mouth with limbs and two tongues that [[NestedMouths also have mouths on them.]] Like a black hole, it is a BigEater and an ExtremeOmnivore, but it never poops.

* Hoopa is a [[OurGeniesAreDifferent genie]] Pokémon who prefers mischievous antics such as stealing treasure, it can warp between dimensions at will using its magic hoops. However, its true form, Hoopa Unbound, is a gigantic multi-armed genie with a giant hole in its body, who has been known to steal ''entire castles'' using its dimensional warping powers.

** Buzzwole and Pheromosa resemble [[PettingZooPeople sexy humanoid insects]], the former being muscular and masculine, and the latter skeletal and effeminate.

* In the ''Anime/PokemonJirachiWishMaker'' movie, the villain Butler attempts to create a Groudon using Jirachi's wish granting powers. The result is a bizarre demon that ''looks'' like Groudon, but it's pretty easy to tell it's ''not''.

* [[TheMissingno Missingno.]] and its [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Glitch_Pokemon glitchy ilk]] are [[AlternateCharacterInterpertation popularly]] thought of as this by the fandom. They fracture reality by their very presence (music, graphics, and save data are twisted), possess bizarre dimensions ('M is 23 feet tall, and Missingno. itself is ''more than three thousand pounds''), and if exposed long enough, the protagonist's mind shatters entirely (the game crashes). As essentially junk data given form, to the player character they might as well be PrimordialChaos.

* The Bad Egg, [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique which you can get]] [[NoFairCheating by cheating.]] [[TheVirus They can turn other Pokémon into Bad Eggs.]] They're actually ''playable.'' And when they hatch... all you see is an egg, and then the game freezes. [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm Did the player]] GoMadFromTheRevelation?!

* Dialga and Palkia, Arceus' first creations, are Space and Time personified (indeed Time started flowing with Dialga's creation) and their dominion over them is absolute. Their battle in ''Anime/PokemonTheRiseOfDarkrai'' had so much power being thrown around that each of their attacks were damaging reality.
* Giratina is able to completely counteract both Dialga and Palkia, lives in [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Distortion_World the Distortion World]], a dimension [[EldritchLocation where time and space do not work like they should]], and can travel to different universes and warp reality. There's ''a good reason'' why people compare it to Yog-Sothoth.
* And then there are the Unown. While they're a JokeCharacter individually, they're a powerful reality-warping HiveMind in groups of hundreds. They come from their own dimension, live in inexplicable ancient ruins, and make incredibly creepy radio transmissions to boot. Oh, and Arceus uses them to make a new Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver HeartGold/SoulSilver]]''.

%% * In ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', the three legendary dragons, Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem were all once a single dragon that may have come from space via a meteor. It split itself into three beings with Reshiram coming from its yang, Zekrom its yin and Kyurem coming from what remained. Kyurem is probably the most eldritch since it can recombine with either Reshiram or Zekrom.
%% * Darkrai is a mythical Pokémon that's a black shadowy being that's able to induce nightmares on hapless victims. Interestingly, the event where you can find Cresselia (Darkrai's legendary counterpart) involves interacting with an [=NPC=] named Mr. Eldritch, whose son has fallen victims to Darkrai's endless nightmares.
%% * Hoopa is a trickster Pokémon who prefers mischievous antics such as stealing treasure, but it can warp between dimensions at will using its magic hoops. Then there's its true form, Hoopa Unbound, a gigantic multi-armed genie with a giant hole in its body, large horns, and sharp teeth, who has been known to steal ''entire castles'' using its dimensional warping powers.

It's also described as being an extremely vicious Pokémon that attacks its opponents without mercy. Oh, and you encounter it at level ''[[OlympusMons 75]]''.

* Deoxys itself is an extraterrestrial being which was borne from the mutation of an alien virus. It can change its form and power at will, it appears as nothing short of a [[StarfishAliens Starfish Alien]], and its motives and nature are completely and utterly incomprehensible by humans. It somehow takes control of a meteor to travel to the Hoenn region for... ''whatever'' reason. Cozmo suspects it's not inherently malevolent, but that's all that can be said.

* ''VideoGame/PokemonSuperMysteryDungeon'' has [[spoiler: Dark Matter which like the Bittercold, is an embodiment of negative emotions. It is able posses Pokémon, create shapeshifting minions called Void Shadows, and steal the life force of Pokémon, [[TakenForGranite turning them to stone. Unlike the Bittercold, it is sapient and plans to steal all of the world's life force.]]]]
* The Japanese version of the fifth movie had an unnamed monster that Latios and Latias fought against in the backstory. It looked [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Alto_Mare_entity.png something like this.]]
