History EldritchAbomination / Pokemon

** Blaster ([[spoiler:Celesteela]]) looks like a cross between a woman and a spacecraft, with giant rockets for arms [[FloatingLimbs that are not visibly connected to its body]]. It also is said to have plant-like biology, even though it looks almost nothing like a plant. [[spoiler:When you catch it, it turns out to be a Steel/Flying type, but it learns a lot of Grass type moves and almost no Flying type moves.]] Its native environment is an alien world covered in craters.
** Blade ([[spoiler:Kartana]]) looks like a tiny swordsman made out of paper. Despite its small size, it is [[AbsurdlySharpBlade absurdly sharp]].

* 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'' Pokémon, 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 Beasts' trait of all of their base stats being prime numbers.]]

** 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?!

** Their Eldritch status is played up for all it's worth in the third Pokémon movie, ''[[Anime/{{Pokemon 3}} Spell of the Unown]]''. Unlike most of the other Legendaries seen in the series, which at least follow ''some'' sense of logic, the Unown seem to be... well, unknowable. Their motivations for doing what they do throughout the movie are all a big mystery from beginning to end, and that’s assuming they even ''have'' motivations for what they do. These are beings that have reality warping powers nearing that of Arceus itself, but unlike Arceus, they don’t appear to possess anything even resembling humanity, or even sapience.

* Out of all the legendary Pokémon, 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 its otherworldly biology, it is actually a very friendly creature.]]

* Arceus itself, who, despite being widely thought as the ''Pokémon'' equivalent of {{God}} (who has [[EldritchAbomination/MythologyAndReligion His own extensive entry]]) is actually closer to [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Azathoth]], considering it created the universe "with its 1000 arms" then went to sleep for a few billion years.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', the three legendary dragons, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem, were all once a single dragon that may have come from outer space via a meteor. It split itself into three beings with Reshiram coming from its yang, Zekrom its yin, and Kyurem being the remaining husk. Kyurem itself is a frozen DracoLich that desires to regain its true form, and although it can [[FusionDance recombine]] with either Reshiram or Zekrom, we never do get to see what it's completed form looks like.

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

* ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' introduces us to a monster that may top the Ultra Beasts in terms of wrongness, [[spoiler:Eternatus, the source of the Dynamax phenomenon and one of the most terrifyingly powerful Pokémon ''in the series''. For one thing, it's ''gigantic'': its normal form alone is already longer than previous record-holder Wailord, and its Gigantamax (or rather, ''Eternamax'') form is an astounding '''328 feet''', dwarfing any other creature in the game. In terms of design, its base form resembles a skeletal dragon composed of what looks like crystals; as for its Eternamax form, it most closely resembles a serpentine UFO with an immense claw reaching down to attack the player. And then there's its role in the story: the entity fell to Earth inside a meteorite 20,000 years ago, and the mere action of it awakening triggered a phenomenon called the Darkest Day, where the sky turned black and Pokémon began to grow to massive sizes; it took the combined efforts of Zacian and Zamazenta to defeat it, and even then they could only [[SealedEvilInACan contain it]] ([[LeakingCanOfEvil mostly]]) inside the meteorite it originally landed in. In the present day, [[BigBad Chairman Rose]] semi-accidentally releases the thing in an attempt to solve Galar's future energy crisis, in the process bringing about another Darkest Day and nearly leading to the destruction of the entire region. Bonus points for being one of the most classically Lovecraftian Pokemon in the series; it's not evil or malevolent, it's just something that absolutely, positively does not belong in this world, and is utterly ignorant of and apathetic towards the damage its presence causes.]]

* [[TheMissingno Missingno.]] and its [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Glitch_Pokemon glitchy ilk]] are [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation 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.

** It’s possible that the Unown are the metaphorical “1,000 arms” or Arceus mentioned above.

* Darkrai is the living embodiment of nightmares and able to induce nightmares on hapless victims. Interestingly, the event where you can find Cresselia (Darkrai's "good dreams" counterpart) involves interacting with an [=NPC=] named Mr. Eldritch, whose son has fallen victims to Darkrai's endless nightmares. Its morality is also subject to flip-flops; in the mainline games it is depicted as a good-natured monster with a severe case of PowerIncontinence, and as such it lives under self-imposed exile to avoid wreaking havoc. In the ''[[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers Mystery Dungeon: Explorers]]'' games, it is a textbook [[TheSociopath sociopath]] and an OmnicidalManiac that wants to plunge the world into an eternal nightmare. Its ''VideoGame/PokePark'' self is instead [[WellIntentionedExtremist somewhere in between]].

* The adorable Pikachu imitator known as Mimikyu may be one, as to its true form underneath its Pikachu cloak is so horrifying that [[BrownNote seeing it can cause death from fright]]. In the anime, Meowth of Team Rocket ''temporarily died'' as a result of seeing it, ''twice''. The viewer only ever sees a shadow with glowing eyes, which may imply that YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm.

** [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Female_symbol The glitch Pokémon]] whose name is only represented as a female symbol gets a special mention. It has an endless cry that actually sounds like a bizarre twisted song, its base stats are second only to [[CrystalDragonJesus Arceus]], it looks like [[VideoGame/EarthBound Giygas]], and finally, it ''weighs 3 tons and is 80 feet tall''. This Pokémon is so eldritch that if sent to battle, even the battle menu will be covered by a black glitch screen.

** Absorption ([[spoiler:Buzzwole]]) and Beauty ([[spoiler:Pheromosa]]) resemble [[PettingZooPeople sexy humanoid insects]], the former resembling a [[TestosteronePoisoning hilariously muscular and masculine]] mosquito, and the latter a [[NoodlePeople skeletal]] and feminine cockroach. 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]] and because sexy humanoid insects are [[OurMonstersAreWeird a very bizarre and rarely seen creature design]] even by the standards of most other works that have a lot of weird monsters. Absorption's native environment is a jungle with impossibly large, vaguely humanoid trees. Beauty's native environment is a desert with strange crystal rocks.

** Unown's resemblance to written language, and the fact Arcues was able to create another Dialga/Palkia for you from Unown, seems to imply that Unown are the underlying source code ''that writes reality itself.''

* Arceus itself, who despite being widely thought as the ''Pokémon'' equivalent of God (who has [[EldritchAbomination/MythologyAndReligion His own extensive entry]]) is actually closer to [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Azathoth]], considering it created the universe "with its 1000 arms" then went to sleep for a few billion years.
* Dialga and Palkia, Arceus' first creations, are Space and Time personified as dragons (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 another one of Arceus' "children" 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.

** Their Eldritch status is played up for all its worth in the third Pokémon movie, “Spell of the Unown”. Unlike most of the other legendaries seen in the series, which at least follow SOME sense of logic, the Unown seem to be... well, unknowable. Their motivations for doing what they do throughout the movie are all a big mystery from beginning to end, and that’s assuming they even HAVE motivations for what they do. These are beings that have reality warping powers nearing that of Arceus itself, but unlike Arceus, they don’t appear to possess anything even resembling humanity, or even sapience.

** 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''.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', the three legendary dragons, Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem were all once a single dragon that may have come from outer space via a meteor. It split itself into three beings with Reshiram coming from its yang, Zekrom its yin and Kyurem being the remaining husk.

** Symbiont ([[spoiler:Nihilego]]) is a giant shape-shifting, emotionless jellyfish monster made of a glass like material whose movements resemble those of a young girl. It produces venom that can [[HatePlague cause insanity in people touched by it]], [[spoiler:which is what happened to the BigBad of Sun and Moon, Lusamine. During the final battle, Lusamine [[FusionDance fuses with a Nihilego]] turning them into [[OneWingedAngel an even more eldritch form]].]] And strangely, despite its jellyfish like appearance, it is [[spoiler: a Rock/Poison type and can't even learn any water type moves.]] Its native environment is an EldritchLocation that resembles the dark depths of the ocean except that it isn't underwater.
** Absorption ([[spoiler:Buzzwole]]) and Beauty ([[spoiler:Pheromosa]]) resemble [[PettingZooPeople sexy humanoid insects]], the former resembling a [[TestosteronePoisoning hilariously muscular and masculine]] mosquito, and the latter a [[NoodlePeople skeletal]] and feminine cockroach.

Absorption's native environment is a jungle with impossibly large, vaguely humanoid trees. Beauty's native environment is a desert with strange crystal rocks.
** 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 [[TheBlank no face.]] And as the Ultra remakes reveal, [[spoiler:the ones you fight and catch are implied to be mere babies, with the fully grown ones being the size of skyscrapers (making them theoretically the largest Pokémon to exist), as its home world appears to be entirely covered in Xurkitree of varying sizes.]]
** Blaster ([[spoiler:Celesteela]]) looks like a cross between a woman and a spacecraft, with giant rockets for arms [[FloatingLimbs that are not visibly connected to its body]]. It also is said to have plant-like biology even though it looks almost nothing like a plant. [[spoiler: When you catch it, it turns out to be a Steel/Flying type, but it learns a lot of Grass type moves and almost no Flying type moves.]] Its native environment is an alien world covered in craters.

** Glutton ([[spoiler:Guzzlord]]) is a demonic and draconic {{Cephalothorax}} with an enormous mouth and two tongues that [[TooManyMouths also have mouths on them]] and [[NestedMouths another mouth in the back of its main mouth]] and also a smaller head on top of its head with NoMouth. Like a black hole, it is a BigEater and an ExtremeOmnivore, and the entirety of the matter it consumes is converted to energy so it never poops. In the Ultra remakes, the player can find them in an [[AnotherDimension alternate dimension]] that appears to be [[spoiler:[[AfterTheEnd a postapocalyptic]] [[AlternateUniverse version of Hau'oli City]] where the planet has mostly been evacuated. The only person you meet there says Guzzlord has been around since long before they were born, implying they're native to that universe, and that they tried bringing them to other worlds when they were evacuating Earth but their massive appetites made it impossible.]]

* Necrozma is an alien being made out of black crystal that constantly fires lasers by focusing light through its body. 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 ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', it can be randomly encountered at Ten Carat Hill: Farthest Hollow after the player has [[spoiler: captured all of the Ultra Beasts]], without any [[GuideDangIt clues or foreshadowing]] aside from a cryptic hint from Looker, making it also a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere. In ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'' it is revealed to have the ability to [[FusionDance merge with]] either Solgaleo or Lunala, to become Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma, respectively. It also becomes the very first Pokémon to be the main villain of a main series Pokémon game (not counting the postgame). It wants to steal the world's light, bringing about TheNightThatNeverEnds, which it already has done to the [[AnotherDimension alternate world]] of the Ultramegalopolis, so that [[spoiler:[[OneWingedAngel it can regain its true form, Ultra Necrozma,]] which resembles resembles both [[OurDragonsAreDifferent a dragon]] and [[OurAngelsAreDifferent an angel]].]] It is described as a TorturedMonster because stealing the world's light also causes it pain, driving it into a rampage. [[spoiler:[[DefeatMeansFriendship But after it is defeated it can still be caught and befriended by the player like any other wild Pokémon.]]]] It is also revealed that Necrozma is the source of [[spoiler: Z-Crystals and Totem Pokémon.]]

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.]]

** Adhesive ([[spoiler:Poipole]]) is a small alien creature with a large insectoid head with three horns on a tiny reptilian body. It evolves into Stinger ([[spoiler:Naganadel]]), which resembles a cross between a dragon and a wasp with three giant syringes for stingers, and [[BizarreAlienBiology houses its brain within its "abdomen" (instead of its head)]] which said stingers are directly connected to.

** Burst ([[spoiler:Blacephalon]]) resembles a MonsterClown with a [[TheBlank faceless spherical head]] that [[LosingYourHead isn't connected to its body]] and that it is able to throw and [[YourHeadAsplode detonate like a grenade]] and [[GoodThingYouCanHeal regenerate]] at the cost of [[CastFromHitpoints half its health]].
