Yes, folks. I’m back with yet another Pokémon article. We all love Pokémon, you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t. Now, we all have our favorites and have wonderful memories thanks to this incredible franchise, but I’m here to get into the nitty-gritty. Over the years and across the gens, the Pokédex has spouted some interesting information regarding the features of various Pokémon. From the obvious to the ridiculous, the handy device has given us some crazy facts regarding Pokémons’ bodies and abilities. Of course, over time certain things have been changed or outright retconned as the story developed. However, the Internet never forgets, and you can find every Pokédex entry that has ever been on there. This means that every weird fact about Pokémon is available to scrutinize, laugh at, or൲ critique.

Whether it’s talk of eating entire mountains, having a bias against certain kids, or being able to digest literally anything, Pokémon are unique creatures that apparently have a lot going on. There are hundreds of them at this point, so of course, there is gonna be some wild stuff going on with some of them. I mean, this is a world where multiple element-controlling gods walking the earth but we can’t imagine some of them having multiple organs or something? As if, come on, people. But what are some of the wildest things we have ever been told about Pokémon anatomy? What were your favorite on🐈es? Did we miss any other crazy Pokédex entries?

26 Metapod Has Guts…For Now 💦𓂃

Ah, Metapod, you are truly useless. All Metapod does is sit around and harden. That being said, there is supposedly a reason for Metapod’s habits. In Pokémon Sun, the Pokédex entry states that ‘Its shell is filled with soft inna🦂rds. It doesn’t move much because of the risk it might carelessly spill its innards out.’ E🐻xcuse me, what?? That is the worst evolution tactic I have ever heard of. That being said, it takes a lot of guts to stay motionless to protect yourself, unable to move away from danger for fear of injuring yourself.

25 Yveltal Is The Bringer Of🦩 The Apocalypse

When thinking about the apocalypse, people like to imagine all kinds of gross things; zombies, epidemics, nuclear attacks. But what if I told you that the end of all life on earth will depend on the survival of one red bird? In Pokémon Y, the dex states that ‘when its life comes to an end, it absorbs the life energy of every living thing and turns into a cocoon once more.’ Cool, so this bird that can be defeated by a literal child is what staꦉnds between us and the end of the world.

24 ♛ 𒐪 Yamask Has Some Identity Issues

So, many religions, people, and texts claim to know what happens after we lose our lives. Whether it is heading to an afterlife or simply nothing, there are many theories floating around. However, we do know a spooky version of this that happens to some humans in the Pokémon universe. Apparently, the mask Yamask carries around is a mask of꧟ its old human fa💯ce from when it was alive. As if to rub salt into the wound of an already intense sentence, the dex adds ‘Sometimes they look at it and cry.’

23 Spoink Bounces Into Action,ไ Forever 🎐

Do you know how certain animals like sharks have to swim non-stop their entire lives or else they will go into cardiac arrest? Well, there are Pokémon that have the same issue too. It turns out that Spoink also has to boun🅘ce continuously throughout its life or face potentially life-threatening consequences. This means that whenever you defeat one and it ꧋faints, it could lose its life because of you. Bet that feels nice to know, doesn’t it?

22 ♊ Lampent Will Use You To Fuel Its Fire

Turns out that the typical items used to fuel a fire aren’t enough for Lampent. Wood, newspaper, dried foliage; none of the♐se is good enough for a supernatur🌟al fire. No, instead Lampent prefers to just wait outside hospitals for people to pass on and then steals their souls. That is so freaking dark and spooky. Imagine waking up in a hospital and seeing a gang of these guys hanging outside your window staring at you while they wait for your end.

21 ♒Kadabra’s Incorrect Origin Story

We all have imagined waking up to an entirely different existence; being a new person, with a new job, a new life. Maybe you wanted to wake up as the princess of Genovia, or a hunter in a faraway land, or a superhero, perhaps even a wizard. Imagine this kid's surprise then when he woke up as a completely different species. In the FireRed Pokédex entry, it states ‘it happened one morning – a boy with extrasensory powers awoke🌜 in bed transformed into Kadabra.’ This is a lie, since he is an evolution, but whatever.

20 ♕ Magcargo Is Too Hot For You

There are so many low hanging fruit jokes just waiting for me here, but I’m gonna just sidestep those. Do you🧜 remember the highest fever you ever had? Or the hottest place you ever lived in or visited? Well, Magcargo has all of us beat. Apparently, this guy has a body temperature of over 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 9982 degrees Celsius). For context, the sun is 9941 degrees Fahrenheit or 5505 degrees Celsius. How does he not burn his way through everything? Will his Pokéball get hot or even melt if you catch him?

19 ಞ Larvitar Has A Mountain Of An Appetite

I know that I have said that I was so hungry I could eat a horse, then d❀evoured as much food as I wanted until I had a food baby going on. However, even the greatest competitive eaters in the world have nothing over Larvitar. This bad boy can, and I quote, ‘it feeds on soil. After it has eaten a large mountain, it will fall asleep so it can grow.’ I know people say they ate a mountain of food but this is taking it too far.

18 🌟 Bewear Loves You A Little🀅 Too Much

Bear hugs sound super cuddly and can be comforti🃏ng, but cuddling an actual bear is a no-no. Perhaps the Pokémon universe you can hug them. I mean, if you trained and took care of a Bewear it might be fine, right? Wrong. This cute looking monster will destroy your spine if you cuddle it and many trainers have lost their lives after being enveloped in a Bewear hug. At least now we know why its name is similar to beware.

17 Metang Is Two Bedlums In A Metal Trღench Coat

So, although Metang is aꦛn evolution, it is literally two Bedlums stuck together. This is not the crazy fact, but it meant I could use the trench coat joke so it was worth it. The crazy fact is that Metang could literally smack headfirst into a jet and emerge unscathed. An actual military jet could hit it and Metang would be fine. That is actually insane. No existing creature could do that. Pokémon are freaking wild, man.
