Top 10 Scariest Pokemon

#4 - Gourgeist

Next we have Gourgeist, the Pumpkin Pokemon. Gourgeist might not seem so scary; it might even seem a little silly. Much like Yamask, you need to read Gourgeist's Pokedex Entries before you know its true horror.

Gourgeist's Pokedex Entry from Pokemon X reads, "Singing in eerie voices, they wander town streets on the night of the new moon. Anyone who hears their song is cursed." As you can see, this description doesn't seem like much. Yeah, you would be cursed (which can seem a little scary), but that's it. The thing is, this description doesn't do Gourgeist that scary justice. It's the description given to it in Pokemon Y, the brother/sister game to Pokemon X. It states, "It enwraps its prey in its hairlike arms. It sings joyfully as it observes the suffering of its prey." Yeah... Stuff just got real...

Once Gourgeist has decided upon its prey, it drapes its victim in its hairlike arms. From there it eats it, but it might kill its prey first by suffocation. Sounds a lot like Honedge, right? But it doesn't stop there. While it's slowly killing you, it will sing joyfully as it sees you suffer (much like Haunter would). The creepiness scale has just hit ten... Seriously...

Gourgeist is like three of the top ten scariest Pokemon that have made this list wrapped up in one Pokemon: Honedge, since it will enwrap you before/as it kills you; Haunter, since it finds enjoyment from its act of murder; and finally, Drifloon, since you wouldn't expect it.

Any Pokemon on this list should bring fear to your heart, and there is no exception to that for Gourgeist.
