Pokémon's reputation for child-friendly content is well-established, with its core games consistently receiving an "E for Everyone" rating. However, beneath the surface of Pikachu and Eevee's cheerful demeanor lies a surprisingly dark undercurrent. Several Pokémon entries within the Pokédex hint at unsettling narratives involving abductions and even violent deaths. Beyond these documented instances, other chilling tales occasionally emerge.
IGN has compiled a list of five particularly disturbing Pokédex entries, though this is far from exhaustive. Notable omissions include Mimikyu, a Pokémon whose terrifying appearance compels it to disguise itself as Pikachu; Haunter, known for its sinister habit of stalking individuals and inflicting a fatal, shaking affliction; and Hypno, whose history of hypnotizing and kidnapping children to feed on their dreams is even depicted in the Pokémon cartoon.
AnswerSee ResultsDrifloon
A young girl from Floaroma Town, excited for a weekend of flower picking, encounters a seemingly innocent purple balloon. Drawn in by its allure, she grasps the string, unaware of the balloon's sinister nature. The balloon, with its unsettling features, subtly pulls her higher and further, ultimately leading to her disappearance. While some Pokédex entries describe Drifloon as formed from spirits, others explicitly detail its habit of abducting children. Its appearance in the games, limited to Fridays at the Valley Windworks, adds to its mysterious and unsettling aura.
Banette
A boy's deteriorating health leads his parents on a desperate search for a specific toy: a discarded, ragged doll with glowing red eyes. The doll's rediscovery coincides with the boy's improvement, suggesting a connection between the doll and his illness. Pokédex entries reveal Banette's origin as an abandoned doll fueled by resentment, seeking revenge on the child who discarded it. Its method of inflicting harm involves self-inflicted injury, using pins as a form of vengeful effigy.
Sandygast
On Melemele Island, a child engrossed in building a sandcastle unwittingly encounters Sandygast, a Pokémon resembling a sandcastle with a gaping maw. The child's interaction results in his being consumed by the creature. Pokédex entries warn against leaving unfinished sandcastles, implying they can become possessed. The horrifying truth is revealed upon Sandygast's evolution into Palossand, which is described as a "Beach Nightmare" that drains the life force from its victims.
Frillish
An elderly woman, enjoying a solitary swim, encounters Frillish, a Pokémon that appears to offer assistance. However, this seemingly benevolent interaction leads to her paralysis and subsequent drowning. Pokédex entries describe Frillish's use of venomous stingers to paralyze its prey before dragging them to its underwater lair, leaving them to suffocate in the depths.
Froslass
A man venturing out during a blizzard to aid a distressed woman stumbles upon Froslass's lair. He discovers numerous frozen bodies, becoming another victim of the icy Pokémon. Pokédex entries link Froslass to the legend of Yuki-onna, a snow woman who lures victims to their demise. Froslass is described as targeting handsome men, freezing them and using their bodies as decorations within its icy domain.
