Even More Unsettling Pokédex Entries from Pokémon!

- Pokémon range from cute and cuddly to awesome and powerful, but something they can ALL have in common is never knowing what horrible and frightening thing will pop up about them in the Pokédex! This wealth of information provides a peek into a dark and often disturbing aspect of the Pokémon world, so let's see which creatures might actually be too scary to tame...
- Zábava
My headcanon is that the 10 year old trainers themselves wrote these pokedex entries after catching their pokemon which explains some of the ridiculous entries
That could be the case, but the scary thing is sometimes they're right! Their random guesses were true, so what else were they accidentally right about?
Someone saw a Drifblim take their siblings and used the Dex to warn everyone lmao
The professors are just glorified tech guys?
I mean the professors should at least be smart enough to know that slugma is not hotter than the sun
@@emperorcubonewhat song is used in the start of the video near oinkologne?
Cacturne’s Pokédex entry can be pretty unnerving too; I forget which game mentioned it, but groups of them will stalk a traveler crossing the desert, hoping they pass out due to fatigue. That itself is pretty ominous, and makes Asado Desert in Paldea twice as treacherous; you already have to watch out for Bramblin and Brambleghast latching onto your legs, not to mention the aggressive Rufflet and Hippowdon!
this was mentioned in Diamond/Pearl
“Pokemon is for kids”
Also Pokemon: creates entries that explicitly states murder, kidnapping and death
That's why Pokémon the franchise is for all ages. While it can absolutely appeal to the young and often does, that doesn't mean that it doesn't've older audiences, and they seem to know it too. That's why they get stuff like this to remind them that no world can be truly cutesy all the time.
@@GoinGreninja agreed
At the very least we know Drifloon is for kids...
@@emperorcubone lol
While also trying to kill off humans more specifically a grown man trying to impale a teen
I want to point out that Oinkologne's pokedex entry saying it can jump 16 feet likely refers to distance and not height.
Lurantis shooting beams from it's sickles likely refers to Solarbeam and Solar Blade.
Still “WTF” worthy.
9:22 About that, Ghost pokemon can in fact die. The anime famously featured a Mimikyu who was an actual ghost (a key difference being that unlike Ghost pokemon it could not touch living things). Alister's League Card in Pokemon Shield also refers to his ability to see "deceased" Ghost pokemon (as opposed to the living ones everyone can see).
To I see the typing meaning supernatural
Right after the Frostmoth segment, I got an Icebreakers ad. Perfect timing
I hope spheal never gets an unsettling pokedex entry
Game freak: Challenge accepted.
Alright bet "spheal is so round that if it were to just go down a slide the impact of the spheal will have the force of 50g"
NOOOO THE ROUND BOOIII
Alright, let's give it a shot. Something like...
"Spheal is known to clap for actions it finds amusing, the most vigorous applause recorded so far was upon finding frozen hikers who became lost in the tundra."
@@emperorcuboneI remembered someone made a Fanmade Future Paradox Spheal which is like a Wind-Up Toy of sorts. It is described as not just a Toy of the Future, but also a supposed "High Class Weapon"
Love the Seadra section. What a cool overlooked gen 1 Mon
We need to respect Seadra, lest it drown and eat us!
Kingdra's introduction was just a gen l8r to the 1st one, meaning that Seadra (along w Golbat) didn't stay a final stage in its own line for long, becoming a 2nd stage which generally dont get too much attention from both the devs & fans. Misty didnt use it in a mainline game b4 & only in Stadium, whereas she owned a Horsea in the anime, TCG, manga & Stadium, & also opted for Water-types that r more well known, such as Lapras, Psyduck or Blastoise. Players would've batted an eye towards Seadra if it was a, at the time, coveted Dragon type, making it weak to absolutely nthg in Gen1. If u don't know why that is, then look it up, it's crazy that GF let that slip through when even Ghost got Lick in their short arsenal. I guess they couldnt come up w any more Dragon moves & be bothered enuf with it, showing their apparent bias towards other types.
@@lipika2841 It seems like the Dragon-type wasn't added until very late in develpoment, as its at the tail end of the "effectiveness message priority order" list in the code. They probably forgot that they could give it to something other than the Dragonite family and didn't have enough time (or also forgot) to come up with more Dragon-type moves.
But yeah, poor Seadra.
Misdreavus would be a great low maintenance pet Pokemon for me. With my anxiety, it would always be well fed lmao
Glad to see a new unsettling Pokedex Entries this October.
You want dangerous dex entries? Let’s talk about Tinkaton’s and no, I don’t mean the one that talks about its hobby of bullying Corviknight.
“The hammer tops 220 pounds, yet it gets swung around easily by Tinkaton as it steals whatever it pleases and carries its plunder back home.”
From this we can learn 2 things
1. Tinkaton is very physically strong. I’m no expert on the subject, but if someone could lift 220 pounds, that person probably doesn’t need to a giant hammer to be dangerous. As to why it wields one anyway, maybe it finds it more fun to hit rocks into the air as opposed to throwing them.
2. I don’t know about you, but I feel like the phrase “whatever it pleases” has some strong implications. Like imagine you’re walking home after buying, say, a PS5. All of a sudden, a small pink blur darts out of the vegetation, snatching the bag containing the console out of your hand and takes it off to who knows where. You’d attempt to follow it, but given the fact that it’s able to do the necessary calculations to snipe birds out of the air, it probably knows how to cover its tracks properly. Of course, the PS5 was just an example. For all we know, “whatever it pleases” could mean anything. Precious stones? Military equipment? The bones of its enemies? The souls of countless legendaries? Who knows what it feels like taking?
You're not wrong, but just be happy it's not stealing your bones like you were a Bisharp!
What's even more disturbing is Tinkaton's listed weight. Tinkaton is listed as 248.7 pounds (112.8 kg). This implies one of 2 equally horrifying conclusions: either the hammer is included in that listing and Tinkaton weighs 28.7 pounds (12.8kg), or that's Tinkaton's ACTUAL WEIGHT, and the hammer is extra!
I don't know about you, but mine just seems to laze around, sleeping on top of its own hammer while picnicking
Frankly i hate Tinkaton for these entries, OK it's a franchise GF but i think goes too far with some Pokemon, makes some species just disgusting, why the 🤬 they do that.
P.S. please don't treat this opinion as dumb, naive ... I know there are myths and stories that are very dark among humanity, but for that franchise i have some standards; that's a serious question.
Anybody else think so?
The beams in Lurantis' entry is likely referring to Solar Blade which it can learn.
My favorite dex entry is for Rhydon from Emerald: "Once it starts running, it doesn't stop. Its tiny brain makes it so stupid that it can't remember why it started running in the first place."
Poor rhydon 😂 lmao
That just sounds like the Dex is bullying them in gym class!
A lot of these Pokedex entries make sense when you realize Pokémon are basically JRPG monsters that humans figured out how to tame. Back before Poke balls were invented, people probably stayed inside of walled cities and only went outside accompanied by some sort of Pokémon Witcher or hired warrior/mage/cleric bodyguards to fight the Pokémon. Early artificial Pokémon like Golurk and Sygiliph were probably invented in order to protect cities from Pokémon like Gyarados and Hydreigon. It all makes me really interested in the history of the Pokémon World and the possibility of another Legends game.
I mean, Yanmega just hunts like a real dragonfly. But speaking of scary bugs hunting you, Ariados will attach an invisible thread to you and follow it to find your home to eat your friends and/or family.
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu. Zdraví Nogy.
Oshawott looks angry in that picture, not scared
Wouldn't you be at least a little mad if you got flung over a mountain by a tiny Phanpy...?
@@emperorcubonecan you please put a list of the songs used in the description
8:53 Flutter Mane?
Also Seadra having the poison touch ability makes way more sense now.
Poison Point***
I think the beams Lorantis uses are the Solar Blade variety, not unlike beam sabers.
That could be, but Solar Blade is a physical move; "beam" sounds more like strong energy blasts...
@@emperorcubone Solar Beam? It does learn it as well.
I’m gonna pretend I didn’t read that as Beat Sabers and that Lurantis isn’t the ultimate gamer mon
Another amazing video
I like the idea for the video. If I could add something, I would show the text for whatever you’re saying on screen while you read it. I don’t know why but it’s infinitely more satisfying for me, and I noticed that I was missing it after it happened a couple times
Happy Halloween, dude. 🎃
Lurantis:
Fires beams from it’s petals
Can fire beams from it’s claws
Lurantis is a Gundam with a funnel system confirmed
I'd say pokemon world humans aren't quite as out of their depth as they might seem. That is, humans in general in the pokemon world seem to be super durable. There are cases where pokemon kill them, but they're rare and generally humans seem to handle pokemon attacks better than some pokemon do (just look at all the trainers who spar with their pokemon or even just have them attack them during training). Then we have the outright superhumans who develop psychic or magical powers, or superhuman strength. The latter seems to be something powerful trainers develop often. In Sword and Shield we have Mustard, a 70+ year old man who can leap several times his own height and flash-step and, and his wife Honey is noted to be able to fight evenly with creatures as powerful as Gallade. Back in gen 5 we have Alder leaping off a cliff without injury, and many other examples.
That is true. But it's also true that the psychics, aura users and seers that exist for example are also pretty rare compared to the general populace. So it's not exactly the best idea to compare those guys with them. That said, it doesn't mean that can't be tougher than our humans, maybe by twice. But even then, they still have risks of dying since human bodies, even if twice as tough, is still relatively frail compared to most animals and especially some Pokémon, especially fully evolved ones. So while rare, it may not be as rare as some could think.
@@GoinGreninja
Ash was able to take hits from legendaries without so much as an injury. The closest he came to harm from such a thing was being turned to stone when he got hit by both mew and Mewtwo at the same time when he jumped between them mid attack.
@@tanandalynch9441 Then Ash is one of those rare humans who are tougher than the average denizen of the Pokémon world. It's not that impossible since Mustard was one for example and most importantly, Ash can harness aura by himself, making him one of those special people anyways.
Headcanon: every pokedoll you find on your travels are the dolls that were one banettes, but they turned into normal pokedolls after their trainers treated them nicely.
Ayy! I've been to that exact Jaws exhibit. It's over in Universal Studios in Orlando. I got a pic with my head in its mouth as a young teen!
I had honestly just went to Universal only a couple weeks before the video so I wanted to use that specific one.
@@emperorcubone dude. Having been to both, Universal is much better for the cost over Disney. Also try doing Busch Gardens next time you are down in Florida. It's like a zoo and theme park combined. Also, I know it sounds weird, but the best part of Sea World at the time (again, it has been 10ish years) was a huge domestic animal show involving cats, dogs, pigs, and even ferrets. If nothing else, try visiting my hometown of Gatlinburg, Tennessee! It's an insanely touristy counterpart to Orlando but in the mountains, I miss it tbh
I have a running theory that the pokedex writer has an irrational fear of Pokémon and that’s why the entries are absolutely insane
Haha, Lillie wrote the Pokedex confirmed!
And yet everyone hones in on Hypno's dex entry, completely ignoring that it's implied to be an isolated incident
Right? It only did it once but Drifloon gets to do it all the time!
@@emperorcubone And, to rub salt into the wound, even gets to enter Amity Square
Yeah but one’s a cute balloon, the other is a kiddie diddler.
Isolated incident yes, but people judge books by their covers.
Maybe Banette just doesn't WANT to be attached to anyone else, so they actively prevent themself from getting attached
Wow this is wild
So we're gonna ignore Mimikyu's dex entry stating that the one time someone looked at it outright they died?
Why is destroying dump trucks a recurring thing in Pokedex entries, anyway?
I guess they're all looking for Mew underneath?
So, one of Turtonator’s Pokédex entries states “It’s droppings are also dangerously explosive” so basically Turtonator has literal explosive diarrhea.
In terms of gardevoir making black holes, i feel like that was just an interpretation of it using shadow ball.
I like Delfox. It was my second starter. And it is really good.
At least we can prepare ourselves from harm because of these Pokedex entries... what about those who had to learn that the hard way to collect data for the Pokedex development?
6:58 the logic is a bit broken. If people have tried, then the ones it was tried on will no longer be Bannette. The fact that there are others means nothing.
But if these Pokemon are such a bother, you'd think they would spread the news of how to get rid of them, or at least have a few people who's job it is to get rid of them!
Also iirc mega evolution only causes pain if forced as it's stated many times over that mega evolution ca only truly draw out power if the bond between Pokemon and trainer is strong enough. In the anime mega evolution caused pain if forced but wasn't painful to those willing.
Technically, it still causes some pain to those who have a strong bond. The difference is however that they can actually endure the pain for their beloved trainer and because of it, don't try to show it.
1:10 Ash Ketchum: bro, same!
Hm, how very interesting, i wonder if any of these would work as adaptations of some kind.
the emperor is my emperor, go forth
I’m running a call of Cthulhu set in a Pokémon world, and I’m going to make the human entry, which there are a lot of because humans are like the Eevee of apes, very very messed up. I would also give an adult human stats that are comparable to the final stage of a starter.
Video suggestions: Top six Pokemon spinoff game ideas.
Examples:
-Pokemon Researcher
-Gym Leader
-Pokemon Breeder/Ranch
Didn't they already have Pokemon Ranch on the Wii? But man, if I could have a whole game training to be the next Pokemon Professor that'd be so fun!
@@emperorcubone
I'm more interested in the gym leader idea, especially after playing the fan made game This Gym of Mine and I want to see Game Freak take a crack at it since it'll be a breath of fresh for the developers.
Then again they MIGHT be considering adding both gym leader and researcher as career paths for the next gen game.
What about vicious destroyers like Feraligatr or Hydreigon?
Delphox may tragically not get the attention it deserves, especially compared to the overrated ninja frog, but NO ONE talks about Chesnaught.
It definitely does get attention...just not in the most PG way
Who figure it out that Gardvoir opens up a small black hole when its trainers threatened
I'm a simple man, i see oshawott i click it
Chesnaught is definitely NOT appreciated. It's so ugly and Breloom is the better grass fighting type
I love seadra before it even evolved. That best thing of gen 1 pokemon . Theyre monster design are awesome and look ready to battle
Emperor Cubone u cool😎
Banette is the one pkmn whose Dex entry would explain it evolving via Trade, but it doesn't.
And, yes, Yanmega should've been the 1st Bug/Dark pkmn.
Oh that's true! Yet its counterpart was the one to evolve via trade in Gen 4 instead...
Goodmorning everyone.
Good morning, it’s JPR… oh wait.
Its night in here😑
Morning
For everything you said about Tinkatuff... they're no worse than people
yep, humans would see a beautiful animal like the cattle egret, and their first instinct insit to admire it, but to kill it dead, rip it's pretty feathers off and make them into a hat, leaving it's corpse there
Humans might hunt, but we don't use the remains of other sentient beings to build houses...
@@emperorcubone maybe not houses, but bones have been used to make all sorts of things that are far less necessary than houses. Musical instruments, for example.
uhh... did you just imply housing is a luxury item???
Rowlet better not get any dark dex entries for my favorite round ball of leaf owl friendliness
I mean, it does turn into a Ghost, so there's a decent chance...
@@emperorcubone if they mention it loving to spin, it will become the best dex entry. Though I seriously miss the rowlet jumping for joy from legends arceus and spinning animations from the alola and galar games
Here we go for an ideia:
"Because of it being killed by farmers who protect pokemon it would prey upon and deflorestation, Rowlet's population is dwidling everyday, "
"Rowlet's feathers are very sought after Because of their beauty, this unfortantly means they get hunted down for that"
Should have uploaded on holloween
I though about that, but I figured letting it be available for more of the leadup in the spooky season might get people in the mood...
@@emperorcubone nice
Veluxa should be dark type instead of psychic, it acts more like a dark type with the way it actively charges at opponents.
So true, I don't know what makes it Psychic at all...
👍🏾
11:49
this line into "thats only what it prefers to do" had impeccable timing as well as tenor
we knew Emperor Cubone has had incredible voice work, but its the sharpening of his skillset while at the top of his game that sets him above the field for me
Nah bro every over game is way worse (e.g., threats like Ridley ,bowser ect)
Sure the big bads are powerful, but a simple Goomba won't accidentally destroy a town like some cute, tiny Pokemon can!
@@emperorcubonethey aren't destroying towns. There pulling a brambleghast on us and trapping us till their bosses arrive
Im sorry, Delphox is lightyears better than chesnaught XP
