Pokémon as a franchise has become the juggernaut that it currently is thanks to plenty of factors coming together. One of those factors happens to be the variety of the designs and the creativity behind them✤.

Trainers have their preferences for what will make a Pokémon more appealing to them personally, but generally, it's easy to spot the cutest and ugliest of the bunch. Specifically, who are the cutest and ugliest Water-types in the entire franchise, though? Let's now look at the 5 ugliest and 5 cutest 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Water-type Pokémon through 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon.

10 Cute: Chewtle 🧜 ꦜ

Have you ever come across something that is the perfect amount of ugly that it 🐟makes it cute? That's exactly where Chewtle falls into on this list. It happens to sport a large overbite consisting of a big pair of buckteeth.

It doesn't easily communic💞ate that it's cute, because it really isn't. The unibrow and stumpy legs give it an ugly charm that drops it in the bucket of cute. If cute and ugly were the opposite ends of a spectrum, Chewtle would fall perfectly in the middle and be described as either ugly cute, or cutely 💦ugly.

9 🦹 ꦕ Ugly: Barbaracle

Barbaracle is a perfect example of a Pokémon who is a neat concept, but the execution of its design leaves a lot to be desired. Brown and orange are never a good pairing ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚof colors for a creature unless they're Autumn or Halloween themed at their core.

Barbaracle, who's meant to mimic barnacles, had a wide range of colors at its disposal and the designers chose orange and brown. Its face also being a hand also does♛n't help it any, which is only made worse by the fact that each of its four hands has an eye in their palm.

8 🌃 Cute: Horsea ꧒

Horsea is a Kanto Pokémon that's often forgotten about simply because that region was home to so many 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Water-types. Among them though it happens to be one of the cutest and m🐓ost desirable due to its small size and child-like appearance.

Thanks to its large eyes and tiny little wings on its back i💮t comes across as a little fairy of a creature. Humans also tend to care for things th♏at look vulnerable and Horsea's lack of limbs makes it come across as a baby creature that needs protection.

7 Ugly: Omastar ♛

If you've ever seen The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring then you're familiar with a scene in that movie that gave children nightmares. The scene in question is when Bilbo Baggins reaches for the ring around Frodo's neck out of jealousy and his face transforms into a🤡 terri🌜fying and fear-inducing monstrous gaze.

Omastar happens to be a Pokémon that wears that face permanently. Its mouth is made up of sh🌠arp teeth similar to that of squid, and its tentacles and eyes add up t🌜o make the world's most frightening snail.

6 𓆉 Cute: Mudkipඣ

Many 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon fans consider Mudkip to be one of the franchise's cutest designs regardless of typing. The argume🗹nt over who's cuter between it and Squirtle is just a matter of preference.

The fact that Mudkip is quadrupedal has its design read even more like a cat or a dog, animals humans are naturally welcoming too. Mudkip's bright orange seashell-like cheeks give it a pop of personality and uniqueness as well. Do yourself a favor and snag a Mudkip plush if you're look💟ing for an ideal snuggle buddy.

5 🎐 Ugly: Relicanth

The only thing Relicanth is guilty of is being old. It is known as the Lo🌳ngevity Pokémon which is quite fitting considering it is ba🍌sed on one of Earth's longest-living real-life creatures. Its design isn't overbearingly ugly, but being comprised of mostly browns and tans make it quite unappealing.

Relicanth also doesn't evolve from or into something so its power in terms of scale is pretty lackluster. Fans are hoping that one day Relicanth gets a glow-up via a sea monster inspir🦄ed final evolution♒ary form.

4 C♒ute: Mantyke

Ever since the passing of Steve Erwin, manta rays have had a tough go in terꦡms of public reception. They were responsible for the loss of an incredible entertainer and e👍ducator. Mantyke, the pre-evolution of Mantine, should be the face of the entire species as it is the friendliest a manta ray has ever looked.

This tiny thing happens to p෴air its large puppy eyes with some༒ under the eyelashes that make it even more endearing. It doesn't hurt that it sports a large smile and happens to have a squishy body.

3 Ugly: Qwilfish 💮

When most people think of puffer-fish their minds likely land on a bright yellow ball with spikes, but the creature almost always is more welcoming than it is off-putting. Q๊wilfish is the antithౠesis of that train of thought and it's likely due to its Poison-typing.

Instead of opting for a bright yellow, the Balloon Pokémon is partially a green shade of yellow, and a green tint of blue. Qwilfish's eyes are very aggressive and its mouth seems oddlyꦕ dangerous. It communicates through its design that you should avoid it at all costs.

2 🌸 Cute: Squirtle

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Charmander may have been the most populaℱr Kanto starter, but Squirtle was a close second. The episode in the anime where Ash comes across a squad of prankster Squirtles is one of the most iconic and memorable episodes in the entire show.

Squirtle is generally very friendly and welcoming and seems like an easy Pokémon to train and level up. It essentially reads visually as a bipedal turtle, but the designers did a great job at making it cu🍰ter than any turtle in ex𝕴istence. It doesn't hurt that it has large puppy dog eyes.

1 💞 Ugly: Feebas

Most fans of Pokémon would consider Magikarp to be an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ugly creature. Well, Feebas is what Magikarp would look like if it was actually ugly. Thankfully you're not stuck with it and can evolve it into Milotic, one of the franchise's most beautiful Pokémon. F💖eebas itself looks ancient and like it's on its last dying breath.

It resembles most of the underwater life researchers find in the depths of the ocean. Its patchy brown spots and sunken in eyes don't do much to make it appealing, but the bea♏uty of Feebas lays in its potential.
