Pokemon's Most Disturbing Pokédex Entries

Beneath the exterior of a fun collectathon lies the terrifying reality of the Pokémon world. The game rarely touches on it, but hidden within the short text in the Pokedex are haunting stories of death, reincarnation, kidnapping, and worse.

Pokédex entries vary from game to game for many of the same Pokémon. Some content in the Crimson Pokédex may be completely different than in the classic game. Either way, there's something scary hiding inside.

We've combed through hundreds of entries in the series, from the classic Red and Blue to the latest releases, to reveal the Pokemon you might want to avoid – unless you're looking for a reason to never sleep again.
