Until now, when we think of Pokemon, we often imagine cute creatures that can fight alongside their trainers. However, among the hundreds of Pokémon with various designs, there are some that are quite eerie. With Halloween just around the corner, let’s take a look at the Top 10 spookiest Pokémon currently in the spotlight.
Kadabra
Kadabra is one of the most powerful Psychic-type Pokémon, known for its supernatural strength and was introduced in the first generation. It emits Alpha waves from its body, causing headaches to those nearby. Alpha waves can also affect nearby electronic devices, making them malfunction. People believe that seeing Kadabra can bring bad luck.
Phantump
According to the Pokédex, Phantump is a unique Pokémon that carries the spirits of people who died in the forest. If you’re lucky, you might see Phantump floating in the air, appearing like ghostly figures. Its wooden mask serves to conceal its true face, adding to its eerie presence.
Cubone
Cubone is closely associated with a touching story; it is known to wear the skull of its deceased mother, which constantly reminds it of its grief. Cubone cries daily until it evolves into Marowak, when it finally overcomes its sorrow and becomes stronger.
Parasect
Parasect has a rather disturbing appearance, as it is a combination of a mushroom growing on the back of a bug. Over time, the mushroom absorbs the nutrients from the bug, completely taking over its body. This is why Parasect has a pale white appearance similar to a zombie. Don’t stare at them for too long unless you want to feel haunted.
Litwick
Litwick resembles a candle and has a deceptive habit of leading people and Pokémon into the dark. In reality, this ‘little candle’ is associated with the “Ghost World” and rarely returns. Evolving into Lampent, this Pokémon continues to haunt places like graveyards and hospitals, waiting for souls to use as fuel for its eerie flame.
Cofagrigus
Cofagrigus is a Pokémon that has a menacing appearance right from the moment it is formed from ancient tombs. Cofagrigus will swallow anyone who gets too close and turn them into a mummy.
Drifloon
Drifloon takes the form of a floating balloon, appearing innocent but is actually very sinister. If a child grabs onto it, they will be carried away to the land of the dead. This Pokémon is often underestimated due to its cute appearance.
Gourgeist
Gourgeist has a very spooky appearance, with a pumpkin-like body and a haunting smile. During Halloween nights, Gourgeist often roams around, singing eerie songs that can enchant anyone who hears them. A unique feature of Gourgeist is that it can take many different sizes.
Banette
Banette used to be a discarded doll that became a Pokémon after being filled with resentment. Its mouth resembles a zipper, symbolizing its desire to unleash the anger it carries.
Yamask
Yamask is born from the spirits of the dead, holding onto many memories from its past life. The mask Yamask carries is said to be its true face from when it was human. Often, it gazes at this mask and cries. If you touch the mask and hold it, Yamask will absorb that sadness into itself.
