History NightmareFuel / Pokedex

* A walking volcano is a terrifying thought, right? Well, meet Volcanion, a [[PerpetualFrowner nigh-perpetually pissed off]] creature with enough power to blow up an entire mountain. And if its personality in [[Anime/PokemonVolcanionAndTheIngeniousMagearna its movie]] is reflective of its personality in the games, it doesn't like humans one bit. Thankfully, it keeps to itself within mountains away from mankind, but it's not hard to imagine what it'd do to a human settlement if it was pissed off with one.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7ZV8AN-lJ0 Mr. Mime's laugh]] in ''Pokémon Stadium''.

** [[http://www.suruga-ya.jp/database/pics/game/978006477.jpg This promotional photo]] for ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie''. Notable in that it depicts Mewtwo with his mouth open (and Pikachu with no mouth), despite the fact that he never does so in the actual movie. Which, to be honest, makes the image all the creepier.

* Tyranitar is strong enough to make entire mountains crumble: after one goes on a rampage, "maps have to be redrawn to account for the damage".
** About the map changes, Tyranitar pre-evolutions (Larvitar and Pupitar) are found in the wild in Mt. Silver, near the Victory Road. A zone whose geography has severely changed from Gen I to Gen II, disappearing a whole route. A very transitated route, leading to the Pokémon League.
** Larvitar's Pokedex entry describes it as "A Pokémon that eats soil. Once it has eaten a large mountain, it goes to sleep so it can grow."

* Beautifly is a three feet tall swallowtail butterfly whose multiple Pokédex entries say to be savage, and has few qualms about stabbing things with its proboscis and - like Gorebyss from further up - draining all their fluids.
* Cascoon's Pokédex entries state: "Encased within its tough cocoon, it endures attacks. It never forgets the appearance of its foes.", and in Platinum, "It never forgets any attack it endured while in the cocoon. After evolution, it seeks payback".
** Dustox, Cascoon's three-foot-eleven and Psybeam-firing evolved form, is a moth, and as such, it's only active at night, hunting people down while they sleep. And both this and Silcoon/Beautifly come from the same extremely common worm Pokémon, Wurmple.

** And now as of Gen VI, Gardevoir is also Fairy-type. If that seems to lessen the effect, [[TheFairFolk remember that fairies weren't always cute little winged harmless things.]] It's a good thing it wants to protect you rather than play nasty pranks or worse.

* Cacturne. It's a four-foot-tall-desert-crawling-cactus-turned-scarecrow that apparently stalks travellers (not Pokémon, not people, just "travellers") until they can no longer move, then it drains them dry.
** It's also subtly implied that the whole "drains them dry" bit is preceded by a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, so don't expect it to be quick or painless.

** However, it is also said to guide lost spirits home. Furthermore, in its first anime appearance, it actually ''protected'' Ash and co. from being dragged into the ghost world.

* Froslass, Glalie's evolution counterpart, is based on the yuki-onna, a type of ghost in Japanese folklore that appears during snowstorms and takes the form of a beautiful young woman without feet coming into being when a regular, foot-having young woman freezes to death in the mountains during frigid weather. Depending on the disposition of the ghost, which varies from story to story, it will either guide you to safety or get you hopelessly lost so that you suffer the same fate as she did.
** Not to mention what you have to do in game to get a Froslass -- they evolve from Snorunt, which is an Ice type. Upon exposure to a Dawn Stone, they become Froslass, an Ice/Ghost. Meaning she melted.
** To top this off, because Froslass is based on a Yuki-Onna, this implies Froslass is not above having sex with her victims before said actions (or it would, if this wasn't a children's video game).
** Not to mention its Pokedex entry...
--> '''Pokédex:''' "It freezes prey by blowing its -58 degree F breath. It is said to then secretly display its prey."

* Giratina's overworld sprite in Lost Cave (moreso than in Distortion World) because it's there and you can be walked around. If it equated to actual size, and considering proportions to the player, Giratina is about six times taller than the player and just looks like some sort of EldritchAbomination centipede/dragon/ghost... thing. It doesn't help how purely roar-like its ID cry is.
** Speaking of Giratina, according to its Pokedex entries, it was banished to [[{{Hell}} another dimension]] for its extremely violent nature by [[{{God}} Arceus.]] During its time in that dimension, its presence reformed the dimension into the [[MirrorUniverse Distortion/Reverse World.]] In its home world, Giratina "silently gazed upon the old world" through [[ParanoiaFuel reflective objects, such as mirrors and still pools of water.]] Until recently, he can be seen appearing in an ancient cemetery, said cemetery being the entrance to his home dimension. So there you have it, a violent, 22'08" tall SatanicArchetype can appear anytime into the real world when it's not grudgingly watching you from its [[EldritchLocation home dimension.]] There's no way of killing it since it's already [[{{Dracolich}} dead (Ghost-Type).]]

** Taking one of these to the Ruins of Alph results in the most [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAxqSFRTmDc out-of-place, trippy cutscene ever;]] afterwards, Cynthia points out that "this is what happens every time an egg is created". As in, what always happens at the Day Care. According to WordOfGod, the images you see are actually Arceus recreating the universe from scratch just to give that egg.

** It clasps its prey with the claws on its neck until it stops moving. Then it finishes it off with deadly poison.

* Cofagrigus is a sarcophagus with a malicious grin on its face and ghostly hands peeking out of the inside of the coffin. Its ability, Mummy, gives the same ability to anyone hitting him: in other words, ZombieApocalypse.
** According to its Pokédex entry, it pretends to be a fancy coffin so it can punish grave robbers. And also, its pre-evolution was apparently born from the spirit of someone buried in an ancient grave, and it still remembers its past.
** Yamask's Black Pokédex entry says that the mask on its sprite is actually its former human face, and the Pokémon weeps over memories of being alive.
** Ghetsis has a Cofagrigus. The best it can hope for is [[PragmaticVillainy for Ghetsis to treat it well so that it's a powerful ally.]] [[FridgeHorror But considering who he is...]] [[UpToEleven and that's not even getting into]] [[AndIMustScream what Cipher would do.]]

** Jellicent's (Frillish's evolved form) line from its Black Pokédex is disturbing: "The fate of the ships and crew that wander into Jellicent's habitat: all sunken, all lost, all vanished." The white Pokédex mentions that "life energy" is its favorite food. In ''Black 2 and White 2'', the Pokedex states that it has an undersea castle made from the remnants of the ships that it attacked.
** This might be a bit problematic for the Unova region, given that Jellicent can be found readily in most bodies of seawater. No wonder they're so big on trains.
* Eelektross is an enormous lamprey that is also a living dynamo. It hunts by slipping out of the ocean, grabbing its prey, shocking them, and chowing down. And [[OverlyLongGag Ghetsis has one.]]
** It also has no weaknesses in the games. Its type's only weakness, Ground, is canceled out by its ability, Levitate.

** Litwick is a cute little Fire/Ghost candle, but the Pokedex says "It burns brighter when it absorbs a human soul", and that "It tricks people into thinking it's a helpful guiding light before doing so". It's made even creepier in Black 2 and White 2, where a young girl challenges you in the Celestial Tower with one. After losing, she says that losing battles makes her tired. In other words, ''it's leeching off her life force'', and she has no idea what's going on. That's right, kids - even ''your own'' Litwick will leech off your soul, so being its owner doesn't even make you safe! Made better by the fact that she goes to the Pokémon Center afterwards to rest, but it's still creepy.

* The Dark/Dragon line of Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon is a dragon that starts with one head, grows a second one when he becomes Zweilous, and gains a third one as Hydreigon; while two of them become hands. The creepiness comes from the dex entries: It says that Zweilous's heads fight over food, which means that both of them are intelligent. According to Hydreigon's dex entry, "The heads on its arms lack brains." [[FridgeHorror One of the heads loses its ''brain.'']] Alternatively, its brains merge and it's driven insane, accounting for its "brutal" nature.
** Hydreigon is also one of the few Pokémon who appears to be explicitly malevolent and destructive in nature. It's even called the Brutal Pokémon. And to make things worse, it's another creepy Pokémon that Ghetsis has in his possession. It's the cornerstone of his team.
** Even better, wild ones will SWOOP AT YOU FROM OUT OF NOWHERE on the Kalos Victory Road.

** It gets worse in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2''. You know its {{Badass}} new formes of Black/White Kyurem? They're caused by Kyurem [[AndIMustScream turning Reshiram/Zekrom back into the Light/Dark Stone]] and [[TheAssimilator using them as mere powerups]] [[FusionDance for itself]]. Particularly scary if you watch the fusion cutscene, and makes you shed a tear or two for N's poor dragon. AND it makes you [[YouBastard feel guilty afterwards]] if you yourself capture N's dragon and Kyurem and want to recreate Kyurem's new forme. Slightly subverted in that Kyurem and the other two dragons were once one being, and Kyurem is just trying to become whole again.
*** That AndIMustScream bit is even worse that it sounds. It turns out that the fusion isn't even a complete one, since N outright says he can hear his dragon trying to speak to him. Plus, this makes one wonder if absorbing both Zekrom and Reshiram would actually allow it to be complete again (''thankfully'' we never find this out).
* Genesect was feared as the ultimate hunter 300 million years ago, long before humans, when there were mostly small lizards, amphibians, and bugs. A four-foot tall bipedal insect would be an overpowered monstrosity by comparison, and it could have easily wiped out all life on the planet. And there wasn't just one of them, it was an entire species. It's a good thing it went extinct... and then Team Plasma revived one, gave it cybernetic enhancements and put a giant cannon on it, making it even ''more'' powerful. Oh, and they did this to make the strongest Pokémon ever, because that guy's attempt over at Cinnabar went so well for him, didn't it?

* Then there is Honedge, a possessed sword. Looks like an EquippableAlly, right? Wrong! In fact, it is an ArtifactOfDeath that punishes those who try to invoke it and wield Honedge like a sword will find its tassel wrapped around them and sucking their life force dry. [[FridgeHorror Now]] ''[[FridgeHorror how]]'' [[FridgeHorror would Kalos' residents know this fact]]? It's a good thing that Aegislash, its final evo, is more benevolent. Except not in ''X'', in which it's a mind-control tool for ruthless leaders.
** Many Pokemon have spots they don't like to be touched in Pokémon-amie. Honedge is fine with its hilt being rubbed, but if you touch its scarf-arm it bristles furiously and makes as if to unsheath itself. But you're its Trainer, so it settles back down. Doublade is much more easygoing.

** In the anime, one traps and kidnaps Ash. While, it was only trying to get Ash to rescue a Bonsly and Sudowoodo trapped in a cage by Team Rocket, just imagine what it would do to someone who damages the forest.

* Porygon-Z. It's a glitched version of Porygon2 evolved using a mysterious disc that was not approved by Silph Co., as a jarring [[TakeThat metaphor for software piracy]]: "Porygon-Z can sometimes be seen shaking rapidly for a short time. Whether this is intentional or a glitch is unknown.".
* Learning that Cubone's headgear is the skull of its dead mother is illogical [[GameplayAndStorySegregation (and proven false by in-game Cubone breeding)]], but nevertheless a very disturbing implication.
* Cacturne. It's a four-foot-tall-desert-crawling-cactus-turned-scarecrow that apparently stalks travellers (not Pokémon, not people, just "travellers") until they can no longer move, then it drains them dry.
** It's also subtly implied that the whole "drains them dry" bit is preceded by a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, so don't expect it to be quick or painless.
* Banette, while creepy enough in appearance (a maliciously grinning, red-eyed, ghost-creature with a zipper for a mouth), are explained in the in-game Pokédex as being possessed dolls seeking revenge on the children that threw them away.
* According to legend, Shedinja, which looks like a cicada skin, will steal the souls of those looking in its back. Too bad it's seen from the back when it's one belonging to the player.
* Drifloon, a cutesy balloon Pokémon, [[http://debureturns.deviantart.com/art/Drifloon-106464127 apparently]] tries to drag people to the underworld ([[NightmareRetardant but is so weak that it gets dragged along like a common balloon you see at birthday parties]]). Drifblim, its evolution, is more successful at carrying kids off into the land of the dead.
* Dusknoir is a huge cycloptic ghost with no legs, weird markings, and a rather haunting body, with a reputation of dragging people to the spirit world. The markings on its chest are actually a second mouth.
** However, it is also said to guide lost spirits home. Furthermore, in its first anime appearance, it actually ''protected'' Ash and co. from being dragged into the ghost world.
** It's a rather minor thing, but when you look at its ''X/Y'' sprite, its one eye is positioned in such a way that whatever direction you're looking at it from, it will always look like it's staring directly at you.
* Gengar, who appears at every full moon and scares people by pretending to be their shadow.
** Haunter, in the manga, had a tendency to use its Dream Eater attack to steal people's souls.
*** When combined, Haunter's Pokedex entries imply he's an EldritchAbomination slowly killing whoever it wants to kill.
** Gastly. This adorably goofy-looking ghost head is cute, but also over four feet tall. And since it's made of gas, it can "sneak into any place it desires", according to several Pokédex entries, and can "envelop an opponent of any size and cause suffocation" as well.
* Darkrai. The Pokémon that locks a small child in a perpetual nightmare until players find a [=MacGuffin=]. Its in-game ability is acting as literal Nightmare Fuel. However, Darkrai doesn't do it on purpose or out of malice; it's a defense mechanism that it can't control.
** To capture Darkrai, players must go into the previously locked Harbor Inn, where a 'hotel manager' says that he has been waiting for them, only to force them into a bed afterwards; the player character falls asleep, where he's transported to Newmoon Island. He or she will have to defeat or capture Darkrai to escape. When waking up, the man is nowhere to be seen, and out of the inn, a sailor will say to you that "you were asleep for a long time", and mention that no one's lived in that inn for 50 years.

* Mewtwo. He's essentially a genetically mutated feline created for the sole purpose of being the strongest Pokémon to ever exist, and given the state of his old home, [[GoneHorriblyRight he lived up to that purpose]]. While all Mewtwo wants is to be left alone in peace, making him angry is still never a good idea.
** ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'' shows him using horrendously powerful telekinesis to all but murder everyone around him.
--> ''[[ForScience "We dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon...]] [[GoneHorriblyRight and we succeeded."]]''
** The games still have the implications, even if they don't outright say it like the movies do. Seeing the burnt out Pokémon Mansion and reading the journals of Mewtwo's birth (in which the scientist says they couldn't curb its viciousness) is enough to be creepy.
*** Even worse - said scientist is implied to be Dr. Fuji, as seen in pictures in the Pokémon Lab and Blaine's Gym. Dr. Fuji, meanwhile, is implied to be [[spoiler:''Mr.'' Fuji. Yes, that sweet old man in Lavender Town who cares for orphaned Pokémon? It's very possible that once upon a time, ''he performed horrible DNA experiments to create Mewtwo'']]. and the TruerToTheText ''Anime/PokemonOrigins'' ''confirms'' all that. This is perhaps even worse for him than in the regular animé, since unlike there, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he lives with the knowledge of what he's created]].
** The Pokédex entries are none too reassuring. Putting them all together yields the picture that Mewtwo has been subjected to horrors [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil and became violent as a result]]:
--> '''Red and Blue''': ''It was created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments.''
--> '''Emerald''': ''[...] even though the scientific power of humans made its body, they failed to give it a warm heart.''
--> '''Heart Gold''': ''Because its battle abilities were raised to the ultimate level, [[BloodKnight it thinks only of defeating its foes]].''
** [[http://www.suruga-ya.jp/database/pics/game/978006477.jpg This promotional photo]] for ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie''. Notable in that it depicts Mewtwo with his mouth open (and Pikachu with no mouth), despite the fact that he never does so in the actual movie. Which, to be honest, makes the image all the creepier.
* Hypno, a Child[[spoiler:'s Dream]]-Eating Pokémon. It leads children away by hypnotizing them and they're never seen again. The child abduction/molestation undertones are rampant (even the anime did an episode about it. It was toned down, of course, but that doesn't make it any better). There [[http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l302/Chris_Lv255/hypno062608.png is an official shirt that plays on this, featuring a photorealistic Hypno leading away silhouettes of actual children]]. And a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT_ZpHgiIKo song]], courtesy of {{Creepypasta}}.
** Just to make your day worse, have you ever heard of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Erlk%C3%B6nig Der Erlkönig]][[note]]The elf-king or alder-king, depending on how far back your etymology goes[[/note]]? It's a poem by Goethe that depicts a father racing through the forest to get his sick child home; as they ride, the child relates how he's being tormented by the elf-king, which only he can see, and his father attempts to convince him he's only imagining things. When he gets home, however, the child dies nonetheless. To supplement this: the one time you ever fight a Hypno in the wild by way of story-event? It's the one ''preying on Lostelle in the Berry Forest''.

** Pokédex entry: "It happened one morning - a boy with extrasensory powers awoke in bed transformed into Kadabra."

* Hitmonlee: Karate King of the UncannyValley, with mutated, short arms, no mouth or nose, just eyes that stare, and wicked toes that can rip flesh to shreds.

* Gorebyss: despite its beautiful looks, "it consumes its prey by sucking out the victim's body fluids". Or to quote Gorebyss's Pokédex entry from Emerald, "Its light pink body color turns vivid when it finishes feeding." Its name is a portmanteau of the words "gore" and "abyss".
* Golbat. From the Pokédex, we learn that Golbat "feasts upon the blood of both people and Pokémon and does not stop until it is full", and Golbat is 1.6m tall and weighs 55 kilograms (5 feet, 3 inches, and 121 pounds). In caves and at night, they can be found everywhere.
** Its evolved form, Crobat, is rather creepy itself, being a 5 feet, 11 inches tall, 165-pound blood-sucking bat. ''Thank Arceus'' they can't be found in the wild... until Generation V...
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Ekans, Arbok, and Seviper,]] [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent which are pretty much giant, poisonous snakes.]]
* Grimer and Muk leak "horribly germ-infested fluid".
** A single drop of Muk's fluid can turn a pool stagnant and rancid. Touching causes a fever and its footsteps leave behind poison ground that nothing will grow on for three years. Grimer, while less powerful, is more dangerous indirectly as it leaks more fluid than Muk which may eventually become more grimers. Grimer's germ-infested fluid can kill off all flora (including weeds) and make the land unfit for future plant life, touching it can either cause a horrible flu or fatally poison the victim. Basically, the "facts" imply a rampaging Muk is the Poké-verse equivalent to Chernobyl.
* Gulpin and Swalot play on the PrimalFear of getting eaten. Swalot can swallow just about anything (the Pokédex says a car tire is the largest thing it can eat), except its own stomach. And a Swalot has no teeth, so whatever (or, Arceus forbid, whoever) it swallows goes down whole and gets broken down by its stomach acid, said to be powerful enough to melt iron.
* Gligar looks like an UglyCute cross between a scorpion and a bat, but the Pokedex states it "swoops in silently, latches onto your face, and injects you full of poison". Basically, it's a flying facehugger Pokémon.
* Bug Pokémon. While Misty's phobia of bug Pokémon is PlayedForLaughs in the anime, the fact of the matter is that they are often at least the size of car tires.
** Beedrill are said to attack in big swarms, are as aggressive as hornets, have stingers for hands, and are 3-foot tall.
** Scyther is a bug the size of a person which is apparently permanently pissed off. It also has scythes instead of hands. Which, according to one of its Pokédex entries, get sharper as it cuts things, meaning it gets deadlier the more it kills.
** Its evolution Scizor is pretty much the same, but is coated in metal armor and has ''metal pincers for hands''. Ouch.
** Beautifly is a three feet tall swallowtail butterfly whose multiple Pokédex entries say to be savage, and has few qualms about stabbing things with its proboscis and - like Gorebyss from further up - draining all their fluids.
** One of the largest Bug-types out there is Yanmega, based on an actual prehistoric giant dragonfly, it is over six feet long, can dislodge trees when taking off, is capable of lifting a grown human off the ground, can shred its enemies' internal organs from the shockwaves created by its wings, and is known for "biting apart foes midflight". Its appearance is scary by itself as well.
** Cascoon's Pokédex entries state: "Encased within its tough cocoon, it endures attacks. It never forgets the appearance of its foes.", and in Platinum, "It never forgets any attack it endured while in the cocoon. After evolution, it seeks payback".
** Dustox, Cascoon's three-foot-eleven and Psybeam-firing evolved form, is a moth, and as such, it's only active at night, hunting people down while they sleep. And both this and Silcoon/Beautifly come from the same extremely common worm Pokémon, Wurmple.
** Scolipede is an eight-foot-tall (not long, tall) centipede (beating out Yanmega's 6 feet) that "clasps its prey with the claws on its neck until it stops moving." Then, as if that wasn't enough, poisons them. And in case ''that'' didn't do the trick, it learns Steamroller, which essentially flattens the opponent just like the construction machine of the same name.
** Combee are [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter really cute]], but being swarmed by a bunch of them would be frightening, which is what [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Vespiquen]] forces them to do. The Combee fly out of the honeycomb at the bottom of Vespiquen's skirt-like abdomen, which is exactly why it's shown lifting up its abdomen in its [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:416Vespiquen.png official artwork]].
* Nidorino's horn is "strong enough to pierce diamonds", and he's a Poison-type.

** There are apparently some things Pinsir ''can't'' crush. So it just hurls them away instead.
* Houndoom is basically a Hellhound, with a little skull pendant and a call that the ancients once imagined to be the call of Death itself. And to make matters worse, if left untreated, their fire attacks ''[[{{Hellfire}} will never stop hurting]]'' if they hit you. And yet they're still capable of becoming the player character's loyal and trusted friend. They probably have the same problems as Rottweilers do in RealLife.
** Downplayed by [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP180 one particular episode]] where a Houndoom went out of its way to help Misty's Togepi find its way back to Ash and company, protecting it and developing a bond with it on the way.
* Latios and Latias are found in the game carrying the item Soul Dew, which increases their stats. In the movie ''Anime/PokemonHeroes'', it's discovered that the Soul Dew is actually made from the soul of a dead Lati. So the Lati seen in the games [[SoulJar is carrying around a trapped soul to make it stronger]].
* Vileplume is a carnivore. It spreads hyper-allergenic pollen that's also toxic, then chews on those who are immobilized by it.
* Spiritomb. It's a Ghost/Dark-type that was sealed away for 500 years as punishment for misdeeds, made from 108 souls. Additionally, Ghost/Dark types were the only combination that's not weak to any attack until Fairy-type was introduced.

* The [[FeatheredFiend flying-type birds]] are the counterparts of pidgeons, sparrows, starlings, and crows; yet in the Pokémon world, they're all big and pretty aggressive, attacking in flocks. In the anime, a swarm of Spearow were going to actually kill Ash and Pikachu as soon as the first episode. Alfred Hitchcock's "TheBirds" inevitably comes to mind. Then there are bigger evolved form of said birds: pelicans that can launch tidal waves, the eagles that know kung fu, and even GiantFlyer ones.
* [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Machoke_(Pokémon) Machoke's arms]]. "The skin has stretched apart because it can barely contain its huge muscles". Whether those lines are exposed muscles, veins, or stretch marks is never explained, and yet, Machoke somehow manages to smile about it. Manliness alone fails to justify it.
** The Timburr line is pretty much 60% veins. Its muscular veins extend across it, which is pretty disturbing when you take a good look at it.
** Machamp in general is also creepy. He grows extra arms out of nowhere, and his evolution before has no sign of 2 extra arms coming in from the back of his very spine.
* Froslass is based on the yuki-onna, a type of ghost in Japanese folklore that appears during snowstorms and takes the form of a beautiful young woman without feet coming into being when a regular, foot-having young woman freezes to death in the mountains during frigid weather. Depending on the disposition of the ghost, which varies from story to story, it will either guide you to safety or get you hopelessly lost so that you suffer the same fate as she did.
** Not to mention what you have to do in game to get a Froslass -- they evolve from Snorunt, which is an Ice type. Upon exposure to a Dawn Stone, they become Froslass, an Ice/Ghost. Meaning she melted.
** To top this off, because Froslass is based on a Yuki-Onna, this implies Froslass is not above having sex with her victims before said actions (or it would, if this wasn't a children's video game).
** Not to mention its Pokedex entry...
--> '''Pokédex:''' "It freezes prey by blowing its -58 degree F breath. It is said to then secretly display its prey."
** You think Froslass is bad? Just look at its evolution counterpart. Glalie freezes its victim, not unlike Froslass, but instead of being displayed like a trophy of some sort, the poor creature is ''eaten''. And to top it off, some of Glalie's entries state that it does such in "a leisurely fashion", possibly implying that either Glalie does this even when it isn't feeling particularly peckish or doesn't experience hunger at all and just does this for kicks and giggles.

* Kirlia and Gardevoir: apparently Kirlia can distort reality and create a rip in dimensions whenever they use their psychic powers. Gardevoir can do that, but are stronger to the point they can create black holes to protect their trainer. They also have more biologically in common with ghosts, walking sludge, and a ''floating electric viper-lamprey'' [[HumanoidAbomination than other humanoid Pokémon]].
** And now as of Gen VI, Gardevoir is also Fairy-type. If that seems to lessen the effect, [[TheFairFolk remember that fairies weren't always cute little winged harmless things.]] It's a good thing it wants to protect you rather than play nasty pranks or worse.

** Aggron (a fellow beastly-looking Pokémon who's a bipedal metal Triceratops) lives around mountains and will savagely protect its territory from all comers, and repairs any damage to its home. [[CoolVsAwesome What if a Tyranitar rampaged around an Aggron's mountain home?]]

*** This is made all the more humorous, considering that X and Y made the two {{Foil}}s to each other.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7ZV8AN-lJ0 Mr. Mime's laugh]] in ''Pokémon Stadium''.
* Unown are a HiveMind of EldritchAbomination [[RealityWarper Reality Warpers]] shaped like Alphabet characters (plus Question and Exclamation marks).
* Bellsprout's Generation I [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/86/Spr_1b_069.png sprite]] looks like a skull on a plant.
** Victreebel is implied to be a man-eating plant: one of the Pokédexes mentions that "any and all explorers who have found Victreebel's secret society in the jungle never come back".
** According to Weepinbell's Pokédex entries, it: a) is full of acid, b) catches prey by dousing it with a poisonous powder, then acid, c) has razor sharp leaves, which it uses to slice up prey, and d) apprently ''leaves nothing remaining''. Oh, and ''it's a metre tall''.
* A fair few of the Gen I sprites are scary-looking, in fact, due to being very OffModel in comparison to their official art: see [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/d2/Spr_1b_103.png Exeggutor's Red and Blue sprite,]] [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/21/Spr_1g_031.png Nidoqueen's Green sprite,]] [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/23/Spr_1b_042.png Golbat,]][[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/38/Spr_1g_151.png Mew's original sprite]] in the Japanese games, [[http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/e5/Spr_1b_093.png Haunter's sprite.]]
* Giratina's overworld sprite in Lost Cave (moreso than in Distortion World) because it's there and you can be walked around. If it equated to actual size, and considering proportions to the player, Giratina is about six times taller than the player and just looks like some sort of EldritchAbomination centipede/dragon/ghost... thing. It doesn't help how purely roar-like its ID cry is.
** Speaking of Giratina, according to its Pokedex entries, it was banished to [[{{Hell}} another dimension]] for its extremely violent nature by [[{{God}} Arceus.]] During its time in that dimension, its presence reformed the dimension into the [[MirrorUniverse Distortion/Reverse World.]] In its home world, Giratina "silently gazed upon the old world" through [[ParanoiaFuel reflective objects, such as mirrors and still pools of water.]] Until recently, he can be seen appearing in an ancient cemetery, said cemetery being the entrance to his home dimension. So there you have it, a violent, 22'08" tall SatanicArchetype can appear anytime into the real world when it's not grudgingly watching you from its [[EldritchLocation home dimension.]] There's no way of killing it since it's already [[{{Dracolich}} dead (Ghost-Type).]]
* Wobbuffet and Wynaut are cute, funny, [[LethalJokeCharacter and surprisingly awesome]]. But the first is that they're usually banned in tournaments, due to their ability, Shadow Tag, which prevents the opposing Pokémon from switching out. Also, its tail: it's mentioned in the Pokédex that there's a secret about them, and that Wobuffet are oddly protective of their tails. Someone figured this out when looking at how Wobuffet looks and acts like an inflatable punching bag, because it actually is (and in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' games it acts exactly as such). The 'eye spots' on Wobuffet's tails may well be its real eyes, and the tail might well, in fact, be the actual Pokémon: the entire body is merely a protective decoy.

* Xatu is a clairvoyant Psychic/Flying Pokémon that the R/S Pokédex describes as silent and unmoving because "shocked by the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt terrible things it sees in the future]]". In other words, Xatu is a Pokémon that spends most of its life paralyzed in fear from having visions of a bad future.
* [[http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/060.shtml Poliwag's]] cute spiral is, in fact, its [[{{Squick}} internal organs]], which can be seen though its skin (much like actual tadpoles). However, when evolving, the swirl changes direction.
* Tentacool and Tentacruel are based on jellyfish. Jellyfish have tentacles lined with millions of tiny stinging structures designed to inject venom that, depending on the species, can cause incredible pain or death in humans (also mentioned in its Pokédex description). What makes this worse is Tentacool's status as GoddamnedBats in the water areas seen in the games.
* As mentioned before, taking an Arceus (provided players own one) to the Ruins of Alph results in the most [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAxqSFRTmDc out-of-place, trippy cutscene ever;]] afterwards, Cynthia points out that "this is what happens every time an egg is created". As in, what always happens at the Day Care. According to WordOfGod, the images you see are actually Arceus recreating the universe from scratch just to give that egg.
* Gen V Pokémon Musharna, with pink smoke protruding from its head, who seems to be perpetually sleeping: this has the unfortunate effect of making it look as though it's suffered a grievous head injury.
* Another GV Pokémon, Cofagrigus, is a sarcophagus with a malicious grin on its face and ghostly hands peeking out of the inside of the coffin. Its ability, Mummy, gives the same ability to anyone hitting him: in other words, ZombieApocalypse.

* Sableye. According to the Ruby Pokédex, they're thought to steal the spirits of people when their eyes glow in the dark. Their eyes are made of crystals. However, Sableye's eyes turned into gemstones because they EAT gemstones. [[EyeScream Sadly, doing the math is not for the best here.]]
* Magneton: the Pokédex says that 3 Magnemite join together to form one of these. However, GameplayAndStorySegregation makes it worse, as even with three Magnemites in the party, when one evolves, the others are still there, leaving the player wondering where did the others come from.
** Even worse: what happens to the other two when they evolve into Magnezone. They appear to be partially absorbed by the middle one.
* The Dark/Dragon line of Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon is a dragon that starts with one head, grows a second one when he becomes Zweilous, and gains a third one as Hydreigon; while two of them become hands. The creepiness comes from the dex entries: It says that Zweilous's heads fight over food, which means that both of them are intelligent. According to Hydreigon's dex entry, "The heads on its arms lack brains." [[FridgeHorror One of the heads loses its ''brain.'']]
** Alternatively, its brains merge and it's driven insane, accounting for its "brutal" nature.
** Hydreigon is also one of the few Pokémon who appears to be explicitly malevolent and destructive in nature. It's even called the Brutal Pokémon.
** And to make things worse, it's another creepy Pokémon that Ghetsis has in his possession. It's the cornerstone of his team.
** Even better, wild ones will SWOOP AT YOU FROM OUT OF NOWHERE on the Kalos Victory Road.
* Litwick is a cute little Fire/Ghost candle, but the Pokedex says "It burns brighter when it absorbs a human soul", and that "It tricks people into thinking it's a helpful guiding light before doing so". Its evolved form "wanders the streets actively looking for the souls of the dead", as well as "appearing when you're on your deathbed and severing your immortal soul from your body".
** Made even creepier in Black 2 and White 2, where a young girl challenges you in the Celestial Tower with one. After losing, she says that losing battles makes her tired. In other words, ''it's leeching off her life force'', and she has no idea what's going on. Made better by the fact that she goes to the Pokémon Center afterwards to rest, but it's still creepy.
*** That's right, kids - even ''your own'' Litwick will leech off your soul, so being its owner doesn't even make you safe!
*** The White 2 entry outright states that, "Its flame is usually out, but it starts shining when it absorbs life force from people or Pokemon". Its sprite always has the flame lit. So either it's feeding on the Pokemon it faces, or Nate/Rosa are going to end up lethargic...
** Which kinda makes it all sad, too, because it's possible it can't ''help'' but suck out souls with so many living creatures (much like how Pichu can't help but shock itself when it uses its abilities), so the little Hinkypunk-based buddy might be unintentionally [[HarryPotter Dementoring]] its beloved trainer. After all, you can max out your friendship with one just by levelling it up from a Litwick to getting its immediate evolved form Lampent to learn its last attack at level 69. Litwick are found in places where there aren't usually a lot of other living creatures apart from other Litwick, and Litwick is always the most common Pokemon in the area if it's not exactly equal to the rest. It's a toss-up to see if this is because Litwick have killed everything else (which begs the question of how three different Psychic Pokemn can live beside them despite being very weak to them and why they haven't evolved into Lampent or Chandelure), or because they've purposely put themselves away from others so all they have are the souls of the already-deceased to eat (which makes sense as the places they go are haunted) and others joined them because of one thing in another.
* Genesect was feared as the ultimate hunter 300 million years ago, long before humans, when there were mostly small lizards, amphibians, and bugs. A four-foot tall bipedal insect would be an overpowered monstrosity by comparison, and it could have easily wiped out all life on the planet. And there wasn't just one of them, it was an entire species. It's a good thing it went extinct... and then Team Plasma revived one, gave it cybernetic enhancements and put a giant cannon on it, making it even ''more'' powerful. Oh, and they did this to make the strongest Pokémon ever, because that guy's attempt over at Cinnabar went so well for him, didn't it?
** It gets worse when you consider why it might have gone extinct in the first place. Species generally go extinct when the climate changes too much for them to adapt, their food source goes extinct, or something else outcompetes them. That provides two new horrors: either Genesect wiped out the local ecosystem, or something even worse took over.
** Genesect, as a Mythical Pokémon, has no real residence like most Legendaries, so it's not unlikely that it roams the planet. If its instincts and nature haven't changed much post-upgrade[[labelnote:*]]Or have gotten ''worse'', considering the group that revived it[[/labelnote]], woe be to anyone living near wherever it may currently be...
* Seismitoad, another Gen V Pokémon, essentially looks like a Politoed, only blue and with a bunch of orbs around its skin: one of its available abilities, Poison touch, causes anything it touches to be poisoned. Oh, and it's said to spray acid from the orbs on its head. And [[OverlyLongGag Ghetsis has one.]]
* Primeape is a [[IncrediblyLamePun prime offender.]] Pretty much every Pokédex entry mentions its Creator/JoePesci[[HairTriggerTemper -like]] tendencies. As in, it can be pissed off by pretty much anything.

* Jellicent. The line from its Black Pokédex is disturbing: "The fate of the ships and crew that wander into Jellicent's habitat: all sunken, all lost, all vanished." The white Pokédex mentions that "life energy" is its favorite food. In ''Black 2 and White 2'', the Pokedex states that it has an undersea castle made from the remnants of the ships that it attacked.

* Elgyem, the alien Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It and its evolved form, Beheeyem, can completely rewrite a person's memories, and the fact that they're aliens and have seemingly attracted little attention from the scientific community means that they probably do this whenever someone sees them.
* Durant: Ants that are thirty centimetres tall (roughly 11 inches), with steel covered skin that would make it nigh impossible to stomp on them.
** Heatmor's dex entry. It grabs a Durant, blows fire on it until the heat melts its exoskeleton into metallic goo, then delightfully cooks its internal organs and devours them one by one. Of course, given Durant is a bug- and steel-type, it's only logical that his ArchEnemy is a fire-type anteater, akin to the Zangoose/Seviper rivalry and Zangoose's Immunity.

* While Volcarona is mentioned as having been deified as a bringer of light, it still is an enormous (as in, 5 feet tall and weighing a ''hundred pounds'') moth that spreads embers wherever it goes; one flap of its wings is enough to set vast swaths of land ablaze. And it's just one of many.
** One has to wonder what would happen if Volcarona encountered anything WeakenedByTheLight...

* [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile Krookodile's]] entries describe it as being able to "...expand the focus of its eyes, [[BeingWatched enabling it to see objects in the far distance]]..." Plus, "[[SuperPersistentPredator They never allow prey to escape]]".

* Gothorita, the Pokémon that is known far and wide in Unova for hypnotizing people. Sometimes those people are never seen again. Its Dream World Ability is [[YouWillNotEvadeMe Shadow Tag]] and its pre-evolved form is known for obsessively staring at people.
* Ditto. Found where Mew was cloned, with its same colors (both are pink normally, and blue when shiny), and the same weight. Adding the fact that both are the only Pokémon that can learn [[DittoFighter transform]], Ditto might well be a failed clone of Mew (which explains why it's a melted blob).
* Starmie's Pokedex entries suggest that it might be an alien species and that its core sends radio signals into space.
* Some of the sprite animations in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLKbOt89LsA Dusknoir's]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHq9TxD_ySc Magnezone's]] constantly-shifting, "floating" single red eye can be unsettling, though at least Dusknoir doesn't open and close its BellyMouth this time. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhdThARMwRA Bronzong]], meanwhile, floats around in the air with its big flashing eyes.
* The Regi Pokémon: Regirock, Registeel, or Regice. They're giant, faceless stone golems that have been around for apparently an extremely long time, as indicated by Regice's pokedex entry of it being formed during the Ice Age. Not to mention their "boss" Regigigas, who has been rumored to move entire continents.
* Zangoose, while badass, can be scary considering a closer look at its fur suggests the red markings are blood and scars. His paws appear to be blood soaked, too. And it's pissed off all the time.
* Cherubi is a sentient cherry with eyes and a mouth. The fact that it has a second, smaller head it can eat for nourishment is even creepier.
* Lampent hangs around hospitals waiting for people to pass on. ''It does WHAT?''
** Remember, this entire family line is infamous for not only stealing, ''but burning'' any souls it catches.
* Scolipede - It clasps its prey with the claws on its neck until it stops moving. Then it finishes it off with deadly poison.
* Imagine this, a bird. Not that scary, right? Ok, now picture a bird that stands at 17 feet tall. Unnerving, but not that scary. Now, imagine this bird looks like some sort of draconian beast. Not only that, but said bird was once worshipped as a god and (accidentally) caused a terrible storm that burned down the tower it perched on killing three Pokemon inside due to it losing control of its immense power. Also, imagine that a ''single'' flap of its wings is enough to cause devastating hurricanes. Folks, say "hello" to [[http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i214/mountaindoozie/Lugia.jpg Lugia.]]
** And, to make Lugia even scarier? Meet [[http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/tt232/ZeroZilla67/shadow_lugia.jpg Shadow Lugia]]. It's basically a Lugia forcibly turned "evil" by turning into a fighting machine. Did we mention that it's established that "Shadow Pokémon" in general are known to attack humans? Yeah, let that sink in.
** On the bright side, Lugia isn't always Nightmare Fuel, as shown by a three episode story involving a baby Lugia and its parent and [[Anime/{{Pokemon2000}} the second movie]], when another one serves as a guardian to Shamouti island.
* Behold [[http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm241/Pokegal_22/arceus/arceus-4-1.png Arceus]]. Doesn't look too scary, right? Just a weird-looking Kirin horse-thingy Pokemon, right? Nope. For one thing, its signature move "Judgement" is capable of destroying entire cities and taking out weaker Pokemon with ease. Not only that, but its "Multitype" ability allows it to become any of the 17 elemental types of Pokemon available (meaning it can also learn a wide variety of moves). Oh, but it gets better. You see, Arceus isn't just any run of the mill Legendary. It just happens to be the Pokeverse's version of God. Luckily for us, [[FanNickname "God Pony"]] prefers to nap and not interfere with the Pokeverse directly. That is, [[Anime/PokemonArceusAndTheJewelOfLife unless you piss it off, then it will go so far as to destroy the entire world in its rage.]]
* Pawniard and Bisharp. Carnivorous Pokémon that'll hunt their prey down, at which point the Pawniards will imobilize it by clinging to it sinking the blades their bodies are made of into the prey's body, followed by Bisharp making the final blow. And guess what? Ghetsis has one!
* Spoink's Pokédex entries state that if it stops bouncing, its heart will stop and it will die. Its fainting animation in ''Colosseum'' and ''XD: Gale of Darkness'' have it falling onto the ground.

** In the anime, one - A wild one uncontrolled by humans at that - wants to [[ApocalypseHow destroy the entire world with a virus that renders it fit only for Inkay and Malamar to live on.]]

* Then there is Honedge, a possessed sword. Looks like an EquippableAlly, right? Wrong! In fact, it is an ArtifactOfDeath that punishes those who try to invoke it and wield Honedge like a sword will find its tassel wrapped around them and sucking their life force dry. [[FridgeHorror Now]] ''[[FridgeHorror how]]'' [[FridgeHorror would Kalos' residents know this fact]]? It's a good thing that Aegislash, its final evo, is more benevolent. Except not in ''X'', in which it's a mind-control tool for ruthless leaders.
** Many Pokemon have spots they don't like to be touched in Pokémon-amie. Honedge is fine with its hilt being rubbed, but if you touch its scarf-arm it bristles furiously and makes as if to unsheath itself. But you're its Trainer, so it settles back down. Doublade is much more easygoing.
* Gourgeist, the evolution of Pumpkaboo. Its ''Y'' dex entry states it sings joyfully while watching its prey suffer.
* Whiscash looks goofy, but it's an extremely territorial Pokémon that will generate a three-mile-radius earthquake when in danger. It will also eat anything that's alive.
* Amoonguss uses its Poké Ball mimicry to lure prey, but Pokémon aren't usually fooled by it. Humans, on the other hand, might not know better...
* Tyrunt and Tyrantrum are Pokemon based off of T-Rex. And they both have violent tempers. Tyrunt may be cute but it throws tantrums when it does not get its way. And Tyrantrum´s bite is so powerful that it lived as a king in its time because nobody could fight him!
* Igglybuff's unsettling, enormous red eyes add an unnerving edge to an otherwise adorable Pokémon.
* Espurr's ThousandYardStare is pretty creepy. Then you find out ''why'' it's staring like that - it can barely stop its psychic power from leaking out, and is concentrating with all its might to not unleash it accidentally. But it's just a basic-stage Pokemon, how bad can it be? The blast radius of an Espurr that loses control is ''three hundred feet of complete and total destruction''. Oh, and if you've never played with your Espurr in Pokemon-Amie before, you can totally pet its ears - which are what's holding the psychic power back, so a newly-caught Espurr apparently doesn't mind accidentally killing you. Brrr.
* Kakuna may look goofy, but cocoons look just like that.
** They sure didn't look so goofy in "Challenge Of The Samurai", one of the first episodes of the anime, when Ash has to retrieve his Metapod from a nest of them, carefully sneaking past them without alerting them. Seeing their eyes move to Ash was straight-up bone-chilling. [[spoiler:And they end up evolving anyway thanks to Team Rocket.]]
* Victreebel's hunting method is... disturbing. Taken from its Soul Silver entry: "This [[LampshadeHanging horrifying]] plant Pokémon attracts prey with aromatic honey, then melts them in its mouth." Not to mention it's based off of a real plant that hunts with this exact same method.

* Dragalge. The Y and Alpha Sapphire entries state: "Tales are told of ships that wander into seas where Dragalge live, never to return," as if Dragalge territory is the Pokemon equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle.
* Trevanant is based on a kodama, a type of spirit that inhibits trees. Not only does it have menacing looks, but it can trap people who harm the forest so that it can never leave.
** In the anime, one traps and kidnaps Ash. While, it was only trying to get Ash to rescue a Bonsly and Sudowoodo trapped in a cage by Team Rocket, just imagine what it would do to someone who damages the forest.

** You wanna know the worst part? This type of thing [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou happens to real insects.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuKjBIBBAL8 Case and point...]]

* Tentacool and Tentacruel are based on jellyfish. Jellyfish have tentacles lined with millions of tiny stinging structures designed to inject venom that, depending on the species, can cause incredible pain or death in humans (also mentioned in its Pokédex description). What makes this wores is Tentacool's status as GoddamnedBats in the water areas seen in the games.

* Spiritomb. It's a Ghost/Dark-type that was sealed away for 500 years as punishment for misdeeds, made from 108 souls. Additionally, Ghost/Dark types were combination that's not weak to any attack until Fairy-type was introduced.

* Spiritomb. It's a Ghost/Dark-type that was sealed away for 500 years as punishment for misdeeds, made from 108 souls. Additionally, Ghost/Dark types have, so far, the only combination that's not weak to any attack.
** Not true anymore as of Gen VI, as it's weak to Fairy. Still a nasty Pokémon, though.

*** Even worse - said scientist is implied to be Dr. Fuji, as seen in pictures in the Pokémon Lab and Blaine's Gym. Dr. Fuji, meanwhile, is implied to be [[spoiler:''Mr.'' Fuji. Yes, that sweet old man in Lavender Town who cares for orphaned Pokémon? It's very possible that once upon a time, ''he performed horrible DNA experiments to create Mewtwo'']]. and the TruerToTheText''Anime/PokemonOrigins'' ''confirms'' all that. This is perhaps even worse for him than in the regular animé, since unlike there, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he lives with the knowledge of what he's created]].

** Genesect, as a Mythical Pokémon, has no real residence like most Legendaries, so it's not unlikely that it roams the planet. If its instincts and nature haven't changed much post-upgrade[[labelnote*]]Or have gotten ''worse'', considering the group that revived it[[/labelnote]], woe be to anyone living near wherever it may currently be...

* Mewtwo. He's essentially a genetically mutated feline created for the sole purpose of being used for Team Rocket's conquests. While all Mewtwo wants is to be left alone in peace, making him angry is still never a good idea.
** [[Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie The movies]] showed him using horrendously powerful telekinesis to all but murder everyone around him.

** The games still have the implications, even if they don't outright say it like the movies do. Seeing the burnt out Pokémon Mansion and reading the journals of Mewtwo's birth (in which the scientists say they couldn't curb its viciousness) is enough to be creepy.

* Genesect, a Generation V legendary, was feared as the ultimate hunter, and as such, probably locked up somewhere for a really good reason, like Team Plasma boosting its strength to legendary levels.
** It was feared as the ultimate hunter 300 million years ago, long before humans, when there were mostly small lizards, amphibians, and bugs. That overpowered monstrosity could have easily wiped out all life on the planet. And there wasn't just one of them, it was an entire species. So imagine hundreds of five-foot tall bipedal insects with cannons[[note]]Its Pokédex entry only says that Team Plasma powered up its gun[[/note]] running around killing whatever they want to, because their closest competition is some ancient lizards, frogs, and giant dragonflies (Yanmega). It's a good thing it went extinct.
*** It gets worse when you consider why it might have gone extinct. Species generally go extinct when the climate changes too much for them to adapt, their food source goes extinct, or something else outcompetes them. That provides two new horrors: Either Genesect wiped out the local ecosystem, or something even worse took over.
*** As if that wasn't enough, take a close look at Kabutops, an extinct Pokémon that's already creepy enough on it's own. Now look at Genesect again. [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3mrknI24W1rvr3awo1_1280.png Notice anything suspicious?]]

*** In fact, several of Paras' entries identify the fungus as the tochukaso. Be our guest and look it up, but depending on how you feel about BodyHorror, you may want to keep a vomit bag handy.

** You think Froslass is bad? Just look at its evolution counterpart. Glalie freezes its victim, not unlike Froslass, but instead of being displayed like a trophy of some sort, the poor creature is ''eaten''. And to top it off, some of Glalie's entries state that it does such in "a leisurely fashion", possibly implying that either Glalie does this even when it isn't feeling particularly peckish or doesn't experience hunger at all and just does this for shits and giggles.

** The worst thing about this harbinger of destruction is that, counter-intuitively, ''its existence and life are necessary for life on Kalos to continue.'' It's like a Keter-class {{SCP|Foundation}} that you have to preserve at all cost lest it causes even more casualties.

* Hitmonlee: Karate King of the UncannyValley, with mutated, short arms, no mouth or nose, just eyes that stare.

* Kabutops' Soul Silver's Pokédex entry managed to make it outright horrifying. To clarify, Kabutops is a vampiric 4-foot tall bipedal horseshoe crab with scythes for arms.

*** Well, anything the size of an [[MemeticMutation INDIAN ELEPHANT]].

** [[http://www.suruga-ya.jp/database/pics/game/978006477.jpg This promotional photo]] for ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie''. Notable in that it depicts Mewtwo with his mouth open, despite the fact that he never does so in the actual movie. Which, to be honest, makes the image all the creepier.

** [[ItGotWorse Even better,]] wild ones will SWOOP AT YOU FROM OUT OF NOWHERE on the Kalos Victory Road

**** The White 2 entry outright states that, "Its flame is usually out, but it starts shining when it absorbs life force from people or Pokemon". Its sprite always has the flame lit. So either it's feeding on the Pokemon it faces, or Nate/Rosa are going to end up lethargic...
