The Pok\u00e9mon<\/em><\/a> franchise started in the 1990s and has been massively popular in the world of gaming ever since then. This series has the players travel around the world of the game and collect a variety of different creatures known as\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon. These creatures are then used to battle with other\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon trainers and collect gym badges after winning in battles against expert trainers.<\/p>\n

The way that the game tracks the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon that a player has encountered or caught is with the\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex. The\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex is a sophisticated and complex\u00a0device that keeps a log of every single\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon species that the player has caught, even if they’ve traded it away or don’t currently have a member of said species in their possession. The\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries about each\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon have a description of them, their type, and other useful information. Along with that, they give information about their behavior and\u00a0gives insight into the lore of the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0<\/em>world. Some of them can be a little strange, to say the least.<\/p>\n

Updated January 5th, 2021, by Reyadh Rahaman:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries vary a lot. Not only between\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon species, but between each generation of the franchise as well. There are quirky inconsistencies such as real-world animals being referenced despite not existing in the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon world, haunting implications about the reality of certain ghostly existences, and even some nightmare-fuel in the form of the biological doom pertaining to a few unfortunate pocket monsters. It is never explained who writes these\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries, which further adds to the mysterious and unusual nature for many of them.<\/p>\n

15 <\/span>Raichu<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The majority of encyclopedic information that players are given about Raichu usually only mentions their powerful electrical attacks in some way or another, however, this species’\u00a0FireRed<\/em>\u00a0and Sun\u00a0<\/em>version\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries state something very out of place that\u00a0can shatter one’s immersion.<\/p>\n

They\u00a0say that Raichu’s electrical power of 100’000 volts is strong enough to knock out an Indian Elephant. There is no explanation or mention of this being confirmed outside of these crazy\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries. There isn’t even a reasonable assumption that can be made, as all elephant-like\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon are Ground-type and there is no mention of India in the rest of the games at all. These entries are likely a reference to an old, cruel scientific experiment once conducted on a real elephant.<\/a><\/p>\n

14 <\/span>Spoink<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

These adorably bouncy\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon occupy the part of one’s mind more concerned with enjoying their cuteness. However, Spoink unexpectedly has some of the darkest\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries in the series. In the\u00a0FireRed & LeafGreen<\/em>\u00a0games, as well as\u00a0Black & White 2<\/em>\u00a0ones, Pok\u00e9dex entries mention that this pink and grey piglet has a fatal flaw.<\/p>\n

Apparently, if a Spoink ever stops bouncing it dies. Its heart seems to rely on the continuous kinetic energy from all the bouncing to keep beating, though this appears to be both biologically unsound and inaccurate, as Spoinks have been seen in the games and anime being motionless and, thankfully, comfortably alive.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Charmander<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Charmander is another species that has a very significant biological flaw, though this Fire-type’s biology<\/a> makes a great deal more sense than Spoink’s. Essentially every\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entry from the games, and even some from the anime, mention that Charmander’s tail flame is linked to its life force as well as its emotions.<\/p>\n

When the flame goes out, the Charmander will allegedly die. A very sad, but understandable, trait for a Fire-type. Thankfully, it takes quite a lot to put out this flaming pocket monster’s tail, as Charmanders have been seen in rain and among other water hazards without losing their life, albeit sometimes it is a close call.<\/p>\n

12 <\/span>Spiritomb<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ghost-type and Dark-type Pok\u00e9mon, on average, have the most unusual\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries. Many are creepy, some are spooky, and others are downright terrifying. Many of Spiritomb’s\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries since it was introduced in Generation\u00a0IV pertain to it being a malevolent ethereal force that was sealed away into an Odd Keystone.<\/p>\n

It is also mentioned to be the amalgamation of 108 different spirits that somehow fused and formed a single, mighty being. It is never explained who or what these spirits were prior to becoming a Spiritomb. Not even if their origin was Pok\u00e9mon, human, both, or neither.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Cubone<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In a horrendous bit of lore that probably should not be in an E-rated game, Cubone’s\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries across the franchise all tell of this species’ tragic lifestyle<\/a>. Since\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries refer to traits about entire species instead of individual members, it is implied that all Cubones suffer this same melancholy occurrence. Although, this can just be an oversight on the part of the games’ writers.<\/p>\n

The skulls Cubones wear on their heads are the skulls of their dead mothers. These poor orphans are also mentioned to almost incessantly cry over this loss, to the point of staining their helmet skulls with their rivers of tears. There is so much unexplained about this phenomenon that there was probably content surrounding it that was cut from the games long ago. Hints of this exist in bits and pieces around the internet, but without any official statements from Game Freak, the mystery will likely persist indefinitely.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Drifloon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Drifloon is a dual-type Ghost\/Flying\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon that was introduced with Generation IV of the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> franchise. This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon looks like a balloon with its round body and long, string-like limbs. Being a Ghost-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, you know this\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon has got to have something creepy going on with it, right?<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0HeartGold<\/em> and\u00a0SoulSilver<\/em> versions of the\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex, this\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon has a particularly creepy\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entry<\/a>. It reads, “It is whispered that any child who mistakes Drifloon for a balloon and holds on to it could wind up missing.”<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Banette<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Banette is a Ghost-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon that was introduced in Generation III. It\u00a0evolves from Shuppet starting at level 37 and can Mega Evolve with the use of a Banettite. This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon has zippers at its mouth, face, and all over its body, which definitely gives it a strange and unique appearance.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon doesn’t have just one weird\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entry, it has many. All of them seem to focus on this\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon having once been a plush toy that was abandoned. The\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entry from\u00a0Ultra Sun<\/em> says, “It’s a stuffed toy that was thrown away and became possessed, ever searching for the one who threw it away so it can exact its revenge.”<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Phantump<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Phantump is a dual-type Ghost\/Grass\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon that was introduced in Generation VI of the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> franchise. This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon is said to be created when a ghost possesses a tree stump, which makes sense considering this\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon’s appearance.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon makes some creepy noises and since it’s a Ghost-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon with such a creepy backstory, we know that it’s definitely going to have a strange\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entry.\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/em>\u00a0Y<\/em><\/a>‘s\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex says, “According to old tales, these Pok\u00e9mon are stumps possessed by the spirits of children who died while lost in the forest.” Meanwhile,\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Ultra Sun<\/em> says, “By imitating the voice of a child, it causes people to get hopelessly lost deep in the forest. It’s trying to make friends with them.”<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Froslass<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Froslass is a dual-type Ice\/Ghost\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon that was added to the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> franchise in Generation IV. This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon is one of Snorunt’s two final forms and evolves up<\/a> from that\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon when it becomes exposed to a Dawn Stone.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Awesome Creature Collecting Games That Aren’t Pok\u00e9mon<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon is one that has multiple terrifying\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries.\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Sun<\/em>‘s\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex says, “When it finds humans or Pok\u00e9mon it likes, it freezes them and takes them to its chilly den, where they become decorations.” An even creepier one is\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Ultra Moon<\/em><\/a> where the\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex says, “It’s said that on nights of terrible blizzards, it comes down to human settlements. If you hear it knocking at your door, do not open it!”<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Lampent<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Introduced in Generation V of the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> franchise, Lampent is a dual-type Ghost\/Fire\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon. It’s the middle evolution between Litwick and Chandelure and evolves into its final form after being exposed to a Dusk Stone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the different\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries about this\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, it’s definitely not a good thing to see\u00a0it out in public. Most\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries focus on this\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon’s relationship with death. For instance,\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Shield<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>says, “It lurks in cities, pretending to be a lamp. Once it finds someone whose death is near, it will trail quietly after them.”<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Yamask<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Yamask is a Ghost-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon that was introduced in Generation V. It evolves up into Cofagrigus when it reaches level 34. This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon has a special form in the Galar region where it instead evolves up to Runerigus when the player takes their Yamask under the bridge in Dusty Bowl after Yamask has lost 49 HP.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon’s\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries are all sad and a little strange. For instance,\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Shield<\/em>‘s\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex says, “The spirit of a person from a bygone age became this Pok\u00e9mon. It rambles through ruins, searching for someone who knows its face.”<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Darumaka<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Darumaka is a Fire-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon that was introduced in Generation V. In\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Sword & Shield<\/em>, this\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon has a Galarian form that changes it from being a Fire-type to being an Ice-type.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon: 10 Things You Never Knew About Fire Red & Leaf Green<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon White<\/em><\/a>, this\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon has a pretty unusual and hilarious\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entry. It says, “Darumaka’s droppings are hot, so people used to put them in their clothes to keep themselves warm.” While some strange\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries are creepy, this one is just funny.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Cacturne<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Introduced in Generation III, Cacturne is a dual-type Grass\/Dark\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon. This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon evolves up from Cacnea when it reaches level 32. Cacturne looks a lot like a humanoid cactus, which is what a lot of the\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entries throughout the different games in the franchise focus on.<\/p>\n

A lot of them put a pretty weird twist on this cactus-like\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon. For instance,\u00a0Emerald<\/em> says, “After spending thousands of years in harsh deserts, its blood transformed into the same substances as sand. It is nocturnal, so it hunts at night.” Meanwhile,\u00a0HeartGold\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0SoulSilver<\/em> say, “Packs of them follow travelers through the desert until the travelers can no longer move.”<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Gourgeist<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Gourgeist is a\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon that was introduced in Generation VI. It’s a dual-type Ghost\/Grass\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon and it looks similar to a carved pumpkin. Since it’s a Ghost-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon with such a spooky appearance<\/a>, it’s no surprise that it has a weird\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entry.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Omega Ruby<\/em><\/a>\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex is a particularly creepy one. In that game, Gourgeist’s\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entry says, “Singing in eerie voices, they wander town streets on the night of the new moon. Anyone who hears their song is cursed.”<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Shiinotic<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

First introduced in Generation VII<\/a>, Shiinotic is a dual-type Grass\/Fairy\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon. This\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon looks similar to a mushroom and has a bright, glowing head. Fairy-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon are always unique and this one is no different.<\/p>\n

Even though this\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon may look fun and harmless, it’s definitely a dangerous one. According to the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Sun<\/em>\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex entry about it, “Forests where Shiinotic live are treacherous to enter at night. People confused by its strange lights can never find their way home again.”<\/p>\n
