Legendary Pokemon are awesome.
They have immense power, rivalled by few, and it takes an experienced and talented trainer
to control one.
The Pokemon franchise has come a long way since it’s early gen one legendary birds
and MewTwo, producing many exceptional creatures over the years that have awestruck and terrified
fans.
So today, we’re going to be counting down a list of legendary Pokemon who have not only
blown our minds, but freaked us out quite a bit by their capabilities and general aesthetic.
This is our list of the top 10 scariest legendary Pokemon.
10 Zapdos While Moltres and Articuno have a majestic
quality to them, Zapdos, with it’s sharp extended talons, it’s long beak and it’s
pointed wings, tail and head looks like the kind of thunder type Pokemon you would never
want to run into on a dark and rainy night.
When Zapdos flaps its wings, it releases electricity that can potentially cause thunderstorms,
as well as massive crackling and snapping nosies.
It sheds lightning bolts, people.
9 MewTwo Now, go ahead and call us gen-oners, but for
many of the fans of the Pokemon franchise who grew up when the series first hit the
scene, MewTwo was one hell of a horrific Pokemon.
For starters, it was a man made legendary Pokemon.
It has a horrible and tragic origin story.
And it boasted a vengeance towards humanity that was unheard of in the Pokemon world.
It was our first taste of how tremendous power doesn’t always mean glory, as far as the
anime and first Pokemon feature film were concerned.
In the games, players find out from the scientific logs at the partially destroyed Pokemon Mansion
on Cinnabar Island what exactly went wrong with MewTwo, along with the horrific gene
splicing experiments that it underwent.
You eventually find it in Cerulean Cave after you are victorious at the Indigo Plateau.
And that’s just Mew Two; it now has two mega forms that are arguably within the top
strongest Pokemon of all time.
And let’s be honest Mega MewTwo Y is utterly terrifying to look at.
Moving on!
8 Solgaleo From generation 1 to generation 7, here we
have Solgaleo, who, quite frankly, is pretty darn bad ass when it comes to aesthetics.
But just like a lion in real life, you wouldn’t want to get to close for fear that it may
bite your head off.
Or another limb.
Anywho, it’s a psychic steel type, this 11 foot 507 pound Pokemon is the emissary
of the sun.
It’s body holds vast amounts of energy, causing it to shine with light when its active.
It’s known as the beast that devours the sun, which, all things considered, really
articulates just how powerful Solgaleo can be.
7 Zygarde Zygarde is the first of a handful of dragon
type Pokemon we have on this list.
It’s also a ground type, which makes sense, considering is snakey aesthetic, or at least
for its 50% form, that is.
Over 16 feet in height and weighing approximately 672 pounds, this Pokemon has multiple forms,
like several other legendary Pokemon on this list do, except Zygarde’s are all based
off of how many of its cells its gathered; the form we’re specifically looking at today
is its 50% form.
Here’s where it gets freaky, though.
According to its Pokemon Y Pokedex entry, “It’s hypothesized that it’s monitoring
those who destroy the ecosystem from deep ink the cave where it lives.”
Then, if that didn’t scare you enough, here’s it’s Pokemon Sun entry: “It wipes out
all those who oppose it, showing not a shred of mercy.”
So that’s swell if you managed to catch Zygarde, but not so much if you’re on the
receiving end of one in a battle.
Yikes.
6 Kyurem Kyurem is a dragon ice Pokemon, whose height
is approximately 9’10 feet, and is generation 5 Pokemon, who is capable of generating a
powerful freezing energy inside of itself.
According to legend, it can be hostile towards both humans and other Pokemon, eating them
if it found them outside at night.
YUP.
Also according to legend, it’s an extraterrestrial Pokemon, and it’s yellow eyes have no pupils,
adding to the whole “I’m going to crap my pants if I ever saw you’ aesthetic.
5 Rayquaza And considering the immense size of Rayquaza,
if you ever saw one in real life, I’m fairly certain you’d probably think the world is
ending and the apocalypse is nigh.
Rayquaza kind of has that effect on people.
At 23 feet tall and 455 pounds, this dragon flying type is from the Hoenn region, and
prefers to spend most of its time high above the ground.
In addition to that, rumour has it that its hundreds of millions of years old.
Something with that kind of longevity, or immortality, rather, is not to be taken lightly.
Plus, it’s mega form is one of the most powerful Pokemon, if not THE most powerful
Pokemon, to ever have existed.
And to be in possession of that kind of power alone, well, that’s pretty freaky.
Those tiny little eyes aren’t helping matters much, either.
4 Type: Null Type Null is a synthetic Pokemon who falls
into the Normal type.
It’s one of the few legendary Pokemon known to evolve as well, evoking into the much less
scary looking Silvally, thanks to when levelled up with a high friendship stat.
Here’s something that should give you shivers; the contraption on it’s head is actually
a piece of equipment to control its latent powers.
According to its Pokemon Moon poked entry, “due to the danger that this synthetic Pokemon
may go on a rampage, it wears a control mask to restrain its power.”
When it was created by the Aether Foundation, it was code named Beast Killer, and was developed
with cells taken from all known Pokemon types.
You’d think by generation 7, scientists would have learned a thing or two about messing
around with the genetics of Pokemon.
3 Giratina Giratina is a ghost dragon type, so obviously,
it made this list.
If there was a horror Pokemon movie, Giratina would star as the terrifying ghost that kills
off a bunch of teenage trainers.
Take one look at it!
Coming in at approximately 1653 pounds, this is one Pokemon you DO NOT want to mess with,
especially considering it was banished to the Distortion World due to its uncontrollable
violence.
Plus, take one look at it’s origin form and try to not see a dragon centipede.
Yup.
The stuff of nightmares, friends.
A generation 4 Pokemon, it is said to have gazed upon our world from the Distortion World,
silently, and can travel through dimensions.
It’s highly aggressive and territorial, and it often appears in cemeteries.
2 Yveltal Yvetal is like the reverse atomic bombs of
Pokemon.
It’s whole schtick is that it has the ability to absorb life energy.
When it reaches the end of its lifespan, it expands its wings, steals all of the life
energy of every single living thing within a certain proximity of it, and then transforms
into a cocoon, sleeping for one thousand years, But that kind of power comes with immense
responsibility.
Being able to put an end to so many lives in just one flap of its wings is a massive
deal; something that Team Flare Tok notice of, and once tried to harness that power and
make it into a devastating weapon.
Standing at 19 feet tall and weighing 447 pounds, its a dark flying type, and aside
from its sheer power, its pretty darn scary in terms of physical qualities; it’s got
those long red wings and tail with black highlights and long claws that curve inwards.
1 Necrozma Necrozma is a prism Pokemon, a psychic type,
that looks like it crawled out of our nightmares.
Out of all the legendary Pokemon, Necrozma is the biggest enigma, found in the Alola
region.
It’s name’s etymology is pretty dark.
It’s a combination of the Ancient Greek word for dead, and word for black, and the
Ancient Greek word for prism.
It’s ultra form is believed to be based on giant stars or supernovae, with its main
form playing on the idea of black holes, black dwarfs, light refraction and neutron stars.
And just like space, Necrozma is straddling the line of downright awesome and absolutely
terrifying.
According to its Pokemon moon poked entry, “light is apparently the source of its energy.
It has an extraordinary vicious disposition and is constantly firing off laser beams.”
Sounds like one hell of a way to get dead real quick.
According to the Ultra Sun entry, “it looks somehow pained as it rages around in search
of light, which serves as its energy.
It’s apparently from another world.”
All in all, pretty creepy.
There we have it friends!
