in the spirit of halloween, i wanted to ask people what they think the creepiest pokemon/pokédex entry is.

pokemon definitely has some creepy entries and pokemon, but my vote would go to cacturne; its whole gimmick is acting like a regular cactus but it silently follows you, waiting to eat you once you collapse…makes me think of a weeping angel. super creepy. all of its dex entries from various games talk about how it patiently bides its time to consume its prey which in my opinion is more creepy than an outright monster.

also this beta design is terrifying. what is that. that is infinitely creepier than cacturne’s current design.
