At first glance, the world ofPokemonis a paradise.

Unhappy about which starter Pokemon were selected for Legends: Z-A?

While dangerous Pokemon come in various shapes and sizes, the most lethal ones all share frightening Pokedex entries.

What can be more dangerous than mistaking an innocent cup of matcha for a haunted Pokemon?

We’d rather not consider what could happen if you accidentally drank the possessed matcha.

20Ceruledge

“An old set of armor stepped in grudges caused this Pokemon’s evolution.

The Latias & Latios GX and Gengar & Mimikyu GX Alternate Full Arts in Team Up from the Pokemon TCG.

Ceruledge cuts its enemies to pieces without mercy.”

This Pokemon is quite literally fueled by negative emotions.

Pokemon battles are often presented as training or dispute resolutions between Pokemon and trainers alike.

Palossand has already been established as a horrifying Pokemon.

However, Scarlet and Violet just had to add to this Pokemon’s dex entry.

The folds along the rim of its head are a popular delicacy."

Gardevoir, Toxicroak, Mimikyu, Inteleon, Gengar and Wigglytuff.

Most are plant-like so many believe that they use photosynthesis to ‘eat’.

Unlike the average mushroom, however, Toedscuel prefers their next meal to be alive and squirming.

17Chien-Pao

“This Pokemon can control 100 tons of fallen snow.

Poltchageist floating in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

It plays around innocently by leaping in and out of avalanches it has caused.”

There are plenty of amazing Team Up alternate arts to go along with the iconic Latias & Latios GX.

To Chien-Pao, causing an avalanche is fun.

It sucks the life-force out of scoundrels who attempt to steal the treasure."

This cute little gremlin guards its wealth of coins with more ferocity than a Kangaskhan would its young.

Where most animals would simply attack when threatened, Gimmighoul takes things a little too far.

Like any self-respecting Ghost key in, Gimmighoul of course targets the soul when defending its coins.

Regardless, the next time you see a random chest lying around, stay away from it.

14Guzzlord

“It has gobbled mountains and swallowed whole buildings, according to reports.

In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, Toedscruel opens its mouth to yell at an approaching foe.

It’s one of the Ultra Beasts.”

(Sun)

The Ultra Beastsare an interesting set of Pokemon.

One such similarity is that they’re incredibly dangerous, none more so than the monstrosity known as Guzzlord.

As the Pokedex says, Guzzlord has an insatiable hunger.

Everything in its path is nothing more than sustenance for the massive Ultra Beast.

The Eeveelutions are a rather unassuming bunch.

They have rather cute designs, taking away from the power these Pokemon possess.

Dark-types are known for their sneaky battle tactics and Umbreon is no exception.

12Trevenant

“It can control trees at will.

It will trap people who harm the forest, so they can never leave.”

While ghost-types areinfamous for their violent tendenciesand innate maliciousness.

Most seem to relish the chance of causing strife and fear, but Trevenant is different.

It’s not an inherently violent Pokemon.

In fact, it acts as a guardian to whatever forest it resides in.

The danger of this Pokemon comes in how it deals with those who harm its forests.

What it deems to be a threat and what it deems as protection differs from what a human would.
