There are just so many Pokémon that would obviously make greatಌ pets. They're adorable, loveable, and would clearly make for great friends to 🥀spend your time with. Then there is Xatu, a Pokémon that is paralyzed with fear because of the visions it sees of the future. Literally same, rt.
There are 💎just as many Pokémon that would make bad pets. Bad vibes? Hungy? The threat of death? Who cares. There are all sorts of reasons that certain Pokémon might make bad pets, and here we've found ten of the worst. Let's get into it.
10 Parasect
Parasect would not be♏ a great pet to have around because... that isn't Parasect. After Paras evolves into Parasect, the mushroom on its body has completely taken over, and there's no more soul in there. That's all mushroom now. This is already just... unnerving, but it also just means that your beloved Pokémon... is gone. There's nothing left of the Pokémon that you nurtured as a Paras. At this point, it's a parasite, and that's the worst part about it all.
9 Xatu
Xatu, as we mentioned earlier, is just a mess and a half. Xatu barely ever moves because of the horrifying things that it sees coming in the future. That... that isn't something that any number of years in Pokémon therapy can heal. If you actually want Xatu as a pet, well that's astounding. You have to be ready for anything and nothing at the same time, you have to be one of the most patient people out there. Maybe there's a great guy under the mess that is Xatu. That's up for a ༒kind trainer to find out.
8 Wailord
Look, no one here is claiming to know... every single Wailord. There's probably a ton of them that are absolutely wonderful. Good with kids, not messy around the house, a great pet. They're all just quite ... l a r g e.
Wailord is not a pet that you can really own unless you also have an entire ocean or incredibly large lake that is also in your possession. It would be wrong to Wailord and also incredi💃bly impractical in just about every single way𒆙 imaginable.
7 Guzzlord
Guzzlord is quite the little tossup. He's terrifying, sure, that is not something that anybody is really denying. Hi💃s Pokédex entries, though, are somewhat vague. Guzzlord is just kind of... violent in our world. Violent toward whom? Us? Other Pokémon? We don't know. Maybe Guzzlord isn't that bad. Maybe if Guzꦗzlord just receives some love, everything will be okay. He can't be that bad. Maybe... maybe Guzzlord shouldn't even be on this list.
Wait, no. That's it. Guzzlord is not a Pokémon that should ever be kept as a pet under any🐎 cꦬircumstance. Need proof? it is.
6 Primeape
Remember when Ash literally just abandoned his Primeape in the anime and never came back? Well, that's probably what a lot of us would do if we had a Primeape. These things are just... they're very intense little men. Like, they have a permanent angry sღcowl on their face. Primeape would just be too aggressive to have around as a pet. They're just too mad. Truly, the fact that any trainer tries to take on these Pokémon is pretty impressive. They're not even that good, so there's no reason to even try and have them as a pet. It's a lose/lose all around.
5 Morpeko
J- H- What? What even is Morpeko? What at first seems like a very basic Pikachu clone quickly turns into a MONSTER because he is hangry. While that is, al☂l in all, an incredibly strong mood, it is still not something that you would෴ want to have as a pet in the slightest. He looks like a gremlin that is ready to attack at any moment.
Granted, living with any Pokémon seem🍒s to be a somewhat dangerous thing to do. They're all basically magical beings with immense powers. Morpeko just seems... ൲off the hinge, so to speak.
4 Snorlax
Snorlax is just, impractical to have as a pet. Snorlax never stops eating, ever. You just can't get him enough food, so trying to own a Snorlax is just something that isn't going to work. Even if you can somehow find a way to get Snorlax all of the food he needs without devoting your entire life to it, how are you going to afford it? Unless ♉you're a celebrity with a massive amount of money and assistants at your disposal, trying to own a Snorlax is ju💞st not something that you should even try to do. They shouldn't do either, honestly.
3 Drifloon
When children around the neighborhood start to go missing, whose house are they going to go to first? Yours, the idiot who owns a Drifloon. Drifloon, you know Drifloon. He's the Pokémon that is known for carrying children away in꧒to the afterlife! Yeah, that's the one. You simply can't own a Drifloon because of the massive implications that it has. Children go missing, you're responsible. Sorry, Dr🔜ifloon.
2 𒅌 Cofagrigus ⭕
Thi🔯s one... this makes sense right? We all get this, right? Do you need more explanation? Having Cofagrigus as a pet is literally just inviting a living coffin into your home. Look at Cofagrigus. You really want that? If you're really interested in having Cofagrigus as a pet, then you deserve each other. More power to you. Don't come crying when you wake up the entire house screaming when you see this thing staring at you in the middle of the night. Just get a .
1 Yveltal
Having Yveltal as a pet is having a Pokémon that is responsible for basically all death in the♌ world as a pet. That is kind of rad, sure, but like, owning Yveltal will probably lead to your death at some point in your life. Who even knows how? It just will. Being near a Pokémon with that much destructive power all the time is sure to lead to some problems, sooner rather🌄 than later. Yveltal is probably the worst Pokémon that you could own as a pet.
