Top 10 Coolest Looking Pokemon

These are the Pokémon that make you stop and say, "Wow, now that's cool." Maybe it's their fierce design, their otherworldly vibe, or the way they seem like they've walked straight out of a fantasy novel.

Some Pokémon stand out not just because they're strong or iconic but because they look incredible. They might ooze power, mystery, or just straight-up style.

1. Giratina

   

   Giratina is a Legendary Pokémon that first appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It became the mascot of Pokémon Platinum, where it plays a central role in the game's story. Giratina is associated with the Distortion World and represents antimatter in the Pokémon lore.

   Giratina was a Pokemon god! Guys, you have to believe me. Giratina is the second Pokemon living and the first being Arceus. He can create black holes because he is the antimatter god, and he knows Destiny Bond, which kills you when you defeat Giratina.

   (Giratina wouldn't be defeated anyway except if the opponent is Arceus.)

   Giratina is sick for its shiny, and its face is so cool. But I thought Charizard was going to win, but I chose Giratina, which is cooler.

   The gold contrasts the glowing red so nicely, and those beautiful black wings with the grey, and the spikes... It doesn't get much better.

2. Mega Charizard X

   

   Mega Charizard X is one of the two Mega Evolutions of Charizard introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Unlike its counterpart Mega Charizard Y, this evolution changes Charizard's type to Fire and Dragon. Mega Charizard X is known for its black and blue coloration and its increased physical attack strength.

   I thought Charizard couldn't look any cooler, then I saw this guy. Black and blue? Those are my two favorite colors! Blue fire? Burns more than orange flames! Shoulder spikes? Badass as hell! Out to destroy? Scary!

   I'm glad I picked this badass over Yzard.

   I think Mega Charizard X is the better mega of the two, as he does as much damage but doesn't do self-damage like Mega Charizard Y. He also has endless flames coming out of the ends of his mouth, which looks sick!

   He's a jet-black dragon that breathes blue-hot fire, flies, destroys, has horns, is rare, and is powerful as heck! I think that speaks for itself.

3. Mega Rayquaza

   

   Mega Rayquaza is a Legendary Pokémon species. It is the Mega Evolution of Rayquaza, introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Unlike other Pokémon, Mega Rayquaza does not require a Mega Stone to evolve, instead transforming by knowing the move Dragon Ascent.

   It looks so good, so powerful, and doesn't need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve. What could be better than that?

   And how did Mega Charizard X and Mewtwo overtake us?

   Why is this not top 3? Most of the Pokemon "above" Rayquaza look like garbage and have no effort put into their art, just like Gliscor, Scizor, and Weavile.

   He should be top 3, hands down.

   Mega Rayquaza is TOTALLY the best Pokemon ever. They should have put this first.

4. Yveltal

   

   Yveltal is a fictional creature in the Pokémon franchise. Introduced in the sixth generation, Yveltal is a legendary Dark and Flying-type Pokémon and the mascot of Pokémon Y. It is known as the Destruction Pokémon.

   Yveltal can absorb life energy, and when it reaches the end of its life, it draws... read more

   I know how to draw it! I also know how to draw Xerneas, by the way. It's just too cool. I want to draw it out. Come on, dudes! He's just too cool! A life-sucking cool dude that kills the bad, dumb Pikachu!

   (By the way, I hate Xerneas so much I'm going to die because Xerneas makes Pikachu be alive again. Frustrating!)

   Greatest of all time. Should be #1. He's a giant death bird. When I showed Yveltal to my little brother, he just stared at him, mouth drooling, for the next day.

   It's a death bird. You can't get cooler than that. As for Arceus, most who voted for him were basing it off of power and being the alpha.

5. Scizor

   

   Scizor, known in Japan as Hassam, is a dual-type Bug and Steel Pokémon. It evolves from Scyther when traded while holding a Metal Coat. Scizor was first introduced in the Generation II games, Pokémon Gold and Silver, released in 1999.

   Scizor ups everything that's good about Scyther's design. It's one of the most difficult Pokemon to get (as of Gen 7 at least) and a monster when used for battling. Its attack stat often overtakes its HP!

   Man, this Pokemon looks amazing. I think it should be around the top 5 areas because not only does it look cool, but it also has great stats!

   Scizor is my favorite, mainly because of its design and competitive viability. I've never had one on my team, and I really want one.

6. Deoxys

   

   Deoxys, known in Japan by the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon that first became available through special events in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It has four different forms: Normal, Attack, Defense, and Speed. Each form alters Deoxys's stats and appearance, making it a uniquely adaptable Pokémon.

   This guy is amazing! I love his normal, attack, and speed forms. The only form that I don't like is defense, but the other forms totally make up for it!

   Deoxys is my favorite Pokemon ever and should be number one on this list, and NOBODY can change my mind.

   He is the only Pokemon with 4 different forms and he can regenerate himself. Watch the movie and see for yourself.

7. Lucario

   

   Lucario was created by Ken Sugimori and first appeared as a central character in the film Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. It was later introduced in the main series games with Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Lucario has since appeared in numerous sequels, spinoff titles, and a wide range of merchandise... read more

   He may be overrated, but he is still pretty cool! I mean, in ZA, his shiny is really good, and you use his Mega in the first Rogue Mega battle. He is sorta overrated, but for good reason!

   He's the strongest and coolest fighting Pokemon I've ever seen or heard of! He's been my favorite since the beginning and still is today. He's so awesome! Plus, his Mega evolution is amazing!

   He is a boss, being able to sense the aura of other Pokemon and foresee his foes' actions before they happen. Not to mention great stats.

8. Arcanine

   

   Arcanine, known in Japan as Windie, was introduced in Generation I and evolves from Growlithe when exposed to a Fire Stone. It is a Fire-type Pokémon known for its speed and majestic appearance. Arcanine is often described in Pokédex entries as having the nobility and grace of a legendary Pokémon.

   Think about it. He's a fire type, a dog, and is massive! What more could you want?

   Not to mention, his base stats in the game are off the charts for a non-legendary.

   A giant fire dog that can be ridden by humans. Probably known as the most loyal Pokemon and is awesome, not to mention it is the strongest fire Pokemon out of all the games.

   It's a big red dog-type thing. Why wouldn't you like it?! And I don't mean Clifford.

9. Mewtwo

   

   Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon. Designed by Ken Sugimori, it first appeared in Pokémon Red and Blue in 1996.

   Created by Dr. Fuji through gene splicing to clone Mew, Mewtwo is known in game lore as one of the most powerful Pokémon. In later games, it can undergo Mega Evolution into... read more

   Sorry Arceus, (I don't care what anyone thinks) but Mewtwo is still the king of all Pokemon, and every real Pokemon fan knows it! Remember when having a Mewtwo made you the coolest kid in class? Well, there's a reason for that.

   Mewtwo, you're a legend. Literally.

   Nothing can beat the look of white and purple dragon design! Mewtwo is the king of the best-looking Pokemon and a beast of psychic. Because, Mewtwo is a great-looking psychic Saiyan who can make himself Super Saiyan or more powerful forms.

   The first legendary Pokemon. Everything in Pokemon's Generation 1 is badass - Giovanni, Green, Red. And not to mention Mewtwo.

   Can't believe that this monster was born from Mew.

10. Absol

    

    Absol is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is known for its ability to sense disasters, which has led to its reputation as a harbinger of misfortune. Absol gained a Mega Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, as well as in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

    How can you not love it? Its calm, meaningful demeanor combines cool, beautiful, and majestic qualities. Even when the whole world may shun it, it still fights to protect us and in style. It's like an angel. And don't even get me started on its Mega.

    A stunning angel of disaster, that's what I would say to describe this. Regal, yet tough-looking at the same time, who wouldn't love this magnificent beast? Absol's grace and "alpha-wolf" look definitely score it a good spot on this list.

    If you simply gaze into those eyes, you can tell this Pokemon will defend you with their life. They will stay with you through life's hardest times, always understanding how you feel.

    Pikachu

    

    Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ) is a species of Pokémon that appears in video games, animated television shows and movies, trading card games, and comic books licensed by The Pokémon Company. It is the mascot of the Pokémon franchise and is widely considered the most iconic Pokémon. Pikachu is well known for... read more

    Such an amazing look! The idea was cool.

    Talonflame

    

    Talonflame is a dual-type Fire/Flying Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon franchise's sixth generation. It evolves from Fletchinder at level 35, which evolves from Fletchling at level 17. Talonflame's signature move, Brave Bird, showcases its daring and fearless nature in battles. Its fiery plumage and... read more

    I love the colors and everything about it.

    What is not to love about a flame bird?

The Contenders

13. Gliscor

    

    Gliscor, known in Japan as Glion, is a Ground and Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It evolves from Gligar when leveled up at night while holding a Razor Fang. Gliscor has a bat-like appearance and is known for its strong defenses and evasive combat style.

    It's obviously a giant scorpion, and it literally looks like it could grab a steel bar and snap it in seconds. What else do you need me to say?

    I call Gliscor wizard man. I just LOVE Gliscor from the very first time I met him.

    He's a nightmare-bat-crab that could rip your throat out.

14. Weavile

    

    Weavile looks a bit weird. I mean, who has such big ears?

15. Greninja

    

    Greninja is a Water/Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation 6. It evolves from Frogadier and is the final evolution of the Water-type starter Froakie. In addition to the standard Torrent ability shared by Water-type starters, Greninja can have the Protean ability, which changes its type to match the... read more

    Hey! Greninja is cool. In the series, he is badass like Ash's Snivy. This should be included in the top 5, though.

    Greninja should be number one.

    Hello, it has a tongue scarf thingy and has one move that no other Pokemon has: Water Shuriken!

    Greninja all the way. What's not to like about it? It's a ninja that can throw Water Shurikens, and the battle bond...

16. Bisharp

    

    I think it's above Gliscor for sure, but I'm not sure about it being number one.

    This thing should have a good ability that does something like Rough Skin.

    The absolute coolest design in all of Pokemon. There's no contest.

17. Mightyena

    

    Mightyena, known in Japan as Graena, is a Dark-type Pokémon that evolves from Poochyena starting at level 18. It was introduced in Generation III. Mightyena is based on a hyena and is known for its pack behavior and fierce loyalty.

    It's super edgy. Its Shiny is great too. Just wish it didn't suck competitively.

18. Darkrai

    

    Darkrai, known by the same name in Japan, is a Dark-type Legendary Pokémon that debuted in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It is known for its signature ability to induce nightmares in others. Darkrai was also featured in the movie Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai, where it played a central role.

    Use your imagination here. What if you saw one while outside, and then you suddenly felt tired and collapsed? You would definitely die if you encountered one. Also, if you did get nightmares, according to Bulbapedia, it would be attracted to them, and you would keep getting nightmares, then eventually, death.

    Darkrai, even though it isn't obtainable in the games except through cheats, should at least be in the top 10 with its beautiful flowing white hair and eyes of death. With it levitating, it can deal good damage and still have the looks to wow and kill at the same time.

19. Groudon

    

    Groudon is a Legendary Pokémon species introduced in Generation III. It serves as the mascot for the game Pokémon Ruby. Groudon is known for its ability to expand continents and is part of the Weather Trio alongside Kyogre and Rayquaza.

    Definitely the best design with those awesome red and gold lines, controls sunlight as if in the desert, and is the best teammate to double battle with. A legend so good, crybabies complained to GameFreak, causing them to downgrade it. Too overpowering.

    No wonder Team Magma wanted to use it to rule the world.

    My favorite Pokemon. I battled a level 50 Groudon and a level 99 Gengar. Precipice Blades totally killed it in one shot, boom! When it's in its Primal evolution, it even beats a Primal Kyogre. So powerful!

    Groudon is one of those Pokemon that you think of as a later version of Charizard! One of my favorite Pokemon by far!

20. Dialga

    

    Dialga, known in Japan by the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, released in 2006. It represents time and is part of the creation trio alongside Palkia and Giratina. Dialga plays a central role in the lore of the Sinnoh region.

    Blue Temporal Dragon with steel spikes... Yeah, he's a badass. Screw some red lizard with wings and a flame on its tail. This was the first Pokemon I ever saw. Sorry, Pikachu, I saw Diamond before you.

    Why is Dialga number 18? It should be like number 1 or 2!

    Steel Dragon, a first. How could it not be cool?

21. Kabutops

    

    Kabutops, known in Japan by the same name, is a dual-type Rock and Water Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Kabuto starting at level 40. Kabutops is known for its sharp scythe-like arms and swift underwater movement.

    Looks amazing. Deserves to be in the top ten.

22. Charizard

    

    Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species created by Ken Sugimori. It first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and has since appeared in merchandise, spinoff titles, and various adaptations. Shin-ichiro Miki, who voices James in the original Japanese anime, also voices... read more

    Charizard is awesome! And Mega Charizard X has an amazing design! In ZA, I used my Charizard to beat the game, and I've had him on my team since I got him from Mable.

    Coolest hands down, dragon look, most popular, one of the first Pokemon to grace the cover of a game multiple times. Especially since it learned Fly, who wouldn't want to fly on a cool fire Pokemon like Charizard? And it can Mega Evolve? Did I mention Gigantamax? Also, it was given to you in Pokemon Yellow. Who can beat that?

    Finally, it's the only starter in Sword/Shield, featured as the champ's Pokemon. I'm done here.

23. Corviknight

    

24. Decidueye

    

    Decidueye, known in Japan as Junaiper, is the final evolution of Rowlet and was introduced in Generation VII. It is a dual-type Grass and Ghost Pokémon. Decidueye first appeared in Pokémon Sun and Moon and is known for its archer-like design and stealthy behavior.

25. Hawlucha

    

    Hawlucha, known in Japan as Luchabull, was introduced in Generation VI and is a dual-type Fighting/Flying Pokémon. It is notable for its wrestling-inspired design and the unique move Flying Press, which deals both Fighting- and Flying-type damage. Hawlucha's Speed and Attack stats make it a favorite... read more

26. Arceus

    

    Arceus is a Legendary Pokémon that first appeared in the 18th Pokémon movie, "Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life," where it was featured alongside other Legendary Pokémon. In the Pokémon universe, Arceus is referred to as "The Original One" and is believed to have created the entire Pokémon world... read more

    Ok, come on, Arceus is the BEST. It created the Pokemon world! With no Arceus, there would be no other Pokemon! Vote for this Pokemon. It definitely should be first! Woo, I LOVE Arceus! He/She is the best Pokemon!

    God Pokemon! He can just change his type, so he gets super effective on the opponent Pokemon. He's OP in a good way, and he looks cool too.

    Arceus is obviously the best. They created all the awesome Pokemon that are on this list! They deserve to be first!

27. White Kyurem

    

    Some say the design is overdone, but there's a reason for that. And the reason is that it's EPIC!
