When you encounter a legendary Pokemon in any of the series titles, regardless of generation,
they often leave trainers a bit awestruck; they’re impressive, incredibly powerful,
and of course, you wanna catch em all.
But some of the Pokemon that Game Freak and Nintendo have created over the years aren’t
the most inviting when it comes to their aesthetic.
They can be pretty intense, and combine that with their move sets and overall capabilities,
without a doubt, they’re a handful to behold.
Not all of them are as cute and cuddley as Mew, that’s for damn sure!
So today, we’re returning to our list of the top 10 scariest legendary Pokemon with
a part two!
Part one of the list really covered those legendary pokemon who are terrifying not only
to look at, but also because of the scope of their abilities.
For the most part, this time around, we’re looking at aesthetically scary legendary pokemon,
or rather, the ones that are left that definitely fit the bill for unsettling.
So with that in mind, let’s get to it!
10 Xerneas Xerneas is both majestic and pretty darn freaky
looking.
At 9 feet ten inches, weighing 474 pounds, this fairy pokemon can be found in the Kalos
region, and is said to be able to share eternal life.
Prior to being revived, it slept for a thousand years in the form of a tree.
It’s got a wicked set of antlers on its head, all of which shine in seven different
colours, and when they glow, that’s meant to signify it sharing its immortality.
At the end of it’s life, it releases all of its life energy into all living things
around it and goes back to sleep.
But perhaps the most awesome thing about it, and slightly unnerving, if we’re being honest,
is that it has the power to create life; it’s been known to create forces, making it a benevolent
force in nature.
So really, whether or not Xerneas scares you is really subjective; it’s pretty darn intimidating
though, regardless.
9 Landorus From one force of nature to another, next
up we have Landorus, a ground flying type that is creepy at best, despite it’s somewhat
humanoid hybrid appearance.
The first of the trio of legendary pokemon of the Unova region that we’ll be discussing
on this list, it holds power over the land and the fields.
It resembles a genie, with spikes protruding from its head and a sharp mustache.
But luckily the way it looks is really the only creepy thing about it.
It’s a pokemon that uses the forces of lightning and wind to create energy to give nutrients
to soil, and make land abundant.
8 Tornadus Next up, we have the second in the Unova forces
of nature trio, the cyclone Pokemon Tornadus.
For anyone who absolutely hates torandos or hurricanes and finds them really scary, this
pokemon definitely aint for you.
It rides the winds in Unova, and expels massive energy from its tail in order to create severe
storms, some of which have been known to blow whole houses away.
Talk about a pokemon capable of causing some really traumatizing damage.
It can zoom through the sky at 200 miles per hour, and in every direction it flies, it
creates winds that are so powerful that they blow everything away.
7 Thundurus In terms of aesthetic, Thundurus is by far
the scariest of the trio of Unova legendary Pokemon.
Known as a bolt strike pokemon, this electric flying type has spikes on it’s tail that
discharge immense bolts of lighting.
It’s the stuff of nightmare fuel, people.
As it’s pokedex entry in Pokemon black and white 2 reads, “As if flies around, it shoots
lightning all over the place, causes forest fires.
It is therefore disliked.”
Yeah, I can see why.
It’s Therian Forme is perhaps even scarier; same thing, but slicker, with claws.
6 Moltres Generation one legendary Moltres may not seem
all that scary at first; rather, it’s a flying fire type that, upon a glance, LOOKS
AWESOME.
Right?
It’s only when you consider what Moltres actually is that this pokemon can become unsettling.
It’s a massive FIRE BIRD WITH BURNING WINGS AND FEATHERS.
That’s a whole lot of open flames, people.
Moltres is the largest of the winged legendary Pokemon trio of Kanto, standing at 6 feet
7 inches, weighing 132 pounds, and is typically witnessed near volcanoes or other heat sources.
So yeah, you’re gonna be getting a little hot under the collar when trying to catch
it, for all the wrong reasons, of course.
5 Registeel There’s something very ominous about Registeel.
This steel type iron Pokemon stands at 6 feet 3 inches, and weighs a whopping 451 pounds.
Found in the Hoenn region, it’s been deep underground for thousands of years, with its
metal body hardening under massive amounts of pressure.
The exact kind of metal it’s made out of is a complete mystery.
It’s also got seven little red beatty eyes that make it lack the sort of humanity that
other legendaries sometimes exude, making it feel more robotic and foreign, not dissimilar
to a science fiction antagonist the likes of Hal from 2001 A Space Odyssey.
4 Lunala While Lunala may not be as fierce in size
as some of the other pokemon on this list, it’s aesthetic in terms of fright factor
manages to beat out most.
It looks like it’s some sort of majestic horror film creature, from it’s bat like
wings to it’s sharp eyes and subtle fangs.
It’s known as the beast that calls the moon, and when it spreads its wings, it can absorb
the surrounding light.
Which, to be fair, does make it aesthetically quite stunning, since it will glitter like
a crescent moon.
But, what makes it really scary is that it sometimes summons unknown powers and life
forms to our world from holes that lead to other worlds, and has a third eye that when
activated, allows it to fly to another world itself.
3 Zekrom Zekrom, a dragon electric type, is known as
the deep black pokemon.
It conceals itself in clouds as it roams around the land, make it stealthy AF.
Standing at 9 feet 6 inches and weighing 760 pounds, this pokemon can create electricity
in its tail, and is capable of scorching the world with lightening.
In addition to that, its tail can also emit an anti-gravity field, allowing it to fly
with minimal effects from aerodynamic resistance and gravity.
In other words, it’s a dangerous threat in battle.
It resembles a dragon, and has six pairs of pointed teeth visible when it’s mouth is
open.
Perhaps the most terrifying thing about it though?
It assists those who want to build an ideal world.
Ideal can be very subjective friends.
2 Groudon Groudon is another pokemon on our list who
tip toes the line of appearing totally awesome and utterly terrifying.
Those claws.
Those teeth.
The spikes protruding from it’s body.
And those eyes.
Standing at 11 feet 6 inches and weighing 2,094 pounds, if you were to encounter something
of it’s size in real life, you can bet your butt that you’d be pooping your pants in
terror.
This legendary evaporates water in order to create land, according to mythology, and because
of this, it was once a part of a scheme of Team Magma’s to increase the land mass of
the Hoenn region.
When villainous criminal teams want to use a Pokemon for nefarious reasons, you know
that’s some power that’s to be feared.
In the wrong hands, who knows what Groudon would be capable of.
1 Dialga Dialga has very sharp and jarring features,
standing at 17 feet 9 inches and weighing 1505 pounds.
What makes it really scary though is that it has the ability to control time itself.
Dunno about you guys, but that’s pretty darn frightening, depending on who catches
this legendary.
It uses its power to travel at will through the past and the future.
The steel dragon type from Sinnoh’s pokedex entry in black and white reads that “it
is said that time flows when Dialga’s heart beats.”
What happens if it stops?
Legend has it that time began moving when it was born.
It primarily resides in a different dimension, so not much is known about it, but it has
been known to have particularly violent conflicts with its counterpart, Palkia.
There we have it friends!
