Best Designed Gen 4 Pokemon

Gen 4 is an interesting one for me, and it has everything to do with how many evolved forms of preexisting pokemon were added, providing more potential for them in the process.
The Top Ten
1 Lucario Lucario is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Lucario first appeared as a central character in the film Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and later appeared in the video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and subsequent sequels, also appearing... read more

Lucario is the best-designed pokemon of all time in my opinion. First of all, I like pokemon that look like canidae, and Lucario is no exception. Second, Lucario is just the best canid pokemon. In my opinion, Lucario isn't just the pokemon with the best design, it's the best pokemon of all time in my opinion.

Absolutely awesome looking in every way, it only misses out on a higher spot to me because of how good I find this generation of pokemon.

2 Darkrai Darkrai, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Easily one of the coolest looking pokemon of all time, and one of the most terrifying. It truly deserves to be the pokemon of nightmares.

3 Giratina Giratina is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Giratina first appeared in the video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but gained prominence in the sister game, Pokémon Platinum, which it was made the mascot of.

What else can you say other than it's an absolutely monstrous looking shadow dragon?

4 Regigigas Regigigas, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

I must say, they really went all out when designing the legendaries of this generation. This one just looks awesome in every way, shame that it isn't actually a good pokemon.

5 Torterra Torterra, known in Japan as Dodaitose, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
6 Dialga Dialga, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

The dragon of time is another awesome looking legendary pokemon that looks as formidable as its title would suggest.

7 Dusknoir Dusknoir, known in Japan as Yonoir, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

The ghost types in these games are generally cool looking, and this one is probably my favourite thanks to how creepy it looks without seeming ugly.

8 Luxray Luxray, known in Japan as Rentorar, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

It looks extremely fearsome and cool.

9 Mismagius

I like this one's design due to it looking kinda creepy while also being kinda cute.

10 Garchomp Garchomp, known in Japan as Gaburias, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Awesome pokemon with a cool design. I mean, who couldn't love such a cool looking land shark?

Come on. It's a flying Shark-Dragon.

The Contenders
11 Gallade Gallade, known in Japan as Erureido, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Better than Gardevoir in my opinion (I hope I spelled that right).

12 Skuntank Skuntank (Japanese: スカタンク Skutank) is a dual-type Poison/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation IV of the Pokémon series. It is categorized as the Skunk Pokémon and it evolves from Stunky. Skuntank is known for its noxious fluid which smells dreadful. It can spray this fluid over 160 feet, and the longer it allows the liquid to ferment within its body, the more powerful the smell. It sprays this fluid by opening its tail tip and shooting from it, and it also fires projectiles from moves such as Acid Spray from its tail.

Skuntank is a great looking skunk Pokémon. The fact that it has a cat like face (even though I don't really like cats) is a neat reference to skunks being called polecats. Also, its simple purple, tan, and orange coloring is another good design choice.

13 Glaceon Glaceon, known in Japan as Glacia, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

It's really cute and it's one of my favorite Pokemon

14 Palkia Palkia, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
15 Infernape Infernape, known in Japan as Goukazaru, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
16 Froslass Froslass, known in Japan as Yukimenoko, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
17 Spiritomb Spiritomb, known in Japan as Mikaruge, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
18 Leafeon Leafeon, known in Japan as Leafia, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Leafeon is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV, and is one of the eight evolutionary forms of Eevee.
19 Staraptor Staraptor, known in Japan as Mukuhawk, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.
