Top 10 Saddest Pokemon

Cubone

Cubone, known in Japan as Karakara, was introduced in Generation I and is known for wearing the skull of its deceased mother. Cubone evolves into Marowak starting at level 28. It's a Ground-type Pokemon that often wields a small bone as a weapon in battle.

When female Kangaskhan have a baby, it's a little Cubone. When his mother goes to sleep, her baby Cubone sleeps next to her. But Cubone, moonwalking, accidentally kills his mother from sleeping and eats her meat. When Cubone wakes up, he wakes up with his mother's skull on his head and with his mother's bone in hand. He doesn't know that he killed her and never will.

It wears the skull of its deceased mother.

Poor Cubone... I wish I was there to hug him.

Zubat

Zubat, known in Japan by the same name, is a dual-type Poison/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Zubat evolves into Golbat, which can further evolve into Crobat when leveled up with high friendship. It is commonly found in caves and is known for using echolocation in place of eyesight.

It must be sad for them because you're always killing them.

Nobody cares about the poor thing.

Shaymin

Shaymin is a Grass-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV through Diamond and Pearl. It has two forms: Land Forme and Sky Forme, which can be changed using a Gracidea flower.

Shaymin is known for its ability to purify polluted environments, which aligns with its nature-inspired theme... read more

Poor Shaymin. It always has to use Seed Flare and suck up toxic gas.

Azurill

Azurill, known in Japan as Ruriri, is a Normal- and Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It evolves into Marill when it has high friendship. Azurill is known for its bouncy, ball-like tail, which contains nutrients needed for growth.

Nobody gives it credit for being cute!

Charmander

Charmander, known as Hitokage in Japan, was introduced in the original Pokémon Red and Blue games. It is a Fire-type starter Pokémon that evolves into Charmeleon at level 16, which then evolves into Charizard at level 36. Charmander has a flame burning at the tip of its tail, which is said to reflect... read more

Charmander was abandoned by its trainer and told to stay put until he came back. It was left to die in the rain, but it remained loyal to him. This happened in Season 1 of the Pokémon show.

Charmander is a cute Fire type.

Now I feel bad for leaving that Charmander in Let's Go Eevee.

Mimikyu

Mimikyu is a dual-type Ghost and Fairy Pokémon whose ability, Disguise, allows it to avoid damage from an opponent's first attack. The disguise is represented by a rag that resembles Pikachu, which helps Mimikyu hide its true form. This ability gives Mimikyu a strategic advantage in battles by allowing... read more

A lonely Pokémon, it conceals its terrifying appearance beneath an old rag so it can get closer to people and other Pokémon. If its neck is broken or its rag torn during an attack, it works through the night to patch it. It stands in front of a mirror, trying to fix its broken neck as if its life depended on it. It has a hard time getting it right, so it's crying inside.

To hide its scary appearance, Mimikyu hides itself under an old rag that looks like Pikachu so it can be loved. Its story pulls at my heartstrings and, in my opinion, is even sadder than Cubone's story.

Tepig

Tepig, known in Japan as Pokabu, is a Fire-type starter Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It first appeared in Pokémon Black and White. Tepig evolves into Pignite starting at level 17, and Pignite evolves into Emboar starting at level 36.

He got abandoned by a trainer in Unova.

Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff, known in Japan as Purin, is a round, pink Pokémon recognized for its ability to sing lullabies that put others to sleep. Jigglypuff has appeared in various games, anime episodes, and Super Smash Bros. titles. It evolves from Igglybuff and can evolve into Wigglytuff.

Darkrai

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

Imagine you befriended one, and it is time to sleep. It didn't want to give you nightmares, but it did and accidentally killed you. It's like accidental murder.

It must be sad having to give people bad dreams!

Phantump

The species is said to be dead kids. Children who die in the forest become them. It's about as sad as Yanmask.

I would be sad too if I turned into a Pokémon after having such a short life, ending in a forest.

Litten

Litten, known in Japan as Nyabby, is a Fire-type starter Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It evolves into Torracat starting at level 17 and then into Incineroar starting at level 34. Incineroar is a dual-type Fire and Dark Pokémon and is prominently featured in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

I love Meowth. Watch Go West Young Meowth - it's the most emotional episode.
-Galaxy Meowth

I added him because he was rejected and unloved for years when he was in Hollywood.

Eevee, known in Japan as Eievui, was first introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue. It is known as the Evolution Pokémon and has more evolutionary forms than any other species. Eevee can evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon depending on factors such as elemental... read more

Eevee is forced to change by trainers.

Its stats and movepool in competitive play, even in LC, are just sad and lacking.

Jirachi

Jirachi is a Steel and Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III with the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It is easily recognized by the star-shaped protrusions on its head and a third eye on its belly.... read more

How could his life not be psychological torture? He has to be so lonely because he only wakes up for a week every 1,000 years. He can't really form close friendships with humans because he knows how little time he has before he has to sleep for another 1,000 years. That means any human friends he made the last time he woke up will be long dead by the next time he wakes up. His situation, sadly, probably makes it impossible for him to run into any other legendary or mythical Pokemon who are immortal or at least so long-lived they will still be alive the next time he wakes up.

How could his life not be psychological torture? He is probably in constant grief or extremely lonely during the brief periods he spends awake.
This is because he only wakes up for a week every 1,000 years. He can't have any close friends because he knows that once he wakes up, he has only 7 days before he will have to bid them farewell forever. By the time he wakes again, the humans or Pokémon he knew will be long gone.

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

Listen to the first 1 hr and 10 mins, and you will know its backstory. SO SAD in my opinion! P.S. Love us some Cubone.

Gourgeist

Gourgeist is a Pokémon species introduced in the Pokémon franchise's sixth generation. It is a Ghost/Grass-type Pokémon that evolves from Pumpkaboo when traded. Gourgeist's form depends on the size of Pumpkaboo at the time of evolution, resulting in Small, Average, Large, and Super Size variations. It... read more

Spoink

Spoink, known in Japan as Baneboo, was introduced in Generation III as a Psychic-type Pokémon. It uses a spring-like tail to bounce continuously, which is necessary to keep its heart beating. Spoink evolves into Grumpig starting at level 32.

So if it can't stop bouncing, does that mean it can't sleep?

I mean, if it stops bouncing, IT DIES.

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.

It first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Green in Japan, which were released internationally as Pokémon Red and Blue. Magikarp is a Water-type Pokémon that evolves... read more

Some Magikarp only know Splash, and even if they know another move, they're still pretty weak. I'd vote for him or her if I were you.

Gurdurr

It's named after what it's holding, and it gets no credit for itself.

Cascoon

This Pokémon has a sad life.

Vaporeon

Vaporeon, known in Japan as Showers, is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Eevee when exposed to a Water Stone. Vaporeon is known for its mermaid-like appearance and its ability to blend into water because its body has a similar molecular structure.

Vaporeon suffers. That's it.
