Top 10 Stupidest Pokemon Names

1. Purugly

   

   What is this name? The first time I heard it, I knew it was ugly. I was like, "What does it look like? Is it ugly?" My classmate said, "The ugliest cat you've ever met." Ooh, let me see. When I saw it, I almost threw up. It evolves from a not-so-ugly Pokémon, but it evolves into the almost ugliest Pokémon I've ever seen!

   I really thought Purugly would have more supporters, actually. Although the name is stupid, who doesn't love a territorial fat cat who wants all the attention? I personally love the design and concept.

   Well, I had a Glameow, and I nicknamed it Meow. But then it evolved into Purugly. It was so ugly, I changed its nickname to Pure Ugly. Then I gave it to my friend.

2. Seel

   

   Yeah, I can relate to this name. I'm quite surprised Krabby didn't get on this list. I mean, it's like the creators were running out of animals to base names off of, and one person was like, Wait, I've got an amazing idea! Let's call it 'Crabby' but with a K! And everyone agreed!

   Namer: We're closing down. We need a quick name for a seal Pokémon!

   Guy: I know! How about we just change a letter?

   Namer: Yo, that is the greatest idea ever!

   Oh wow, you misspelled a real animal and made it the name of a Pokémon!

3. Trubbish

   

   It's literally "trash" and "rubbish" combined. Duh.

   Trash, rubbish. He is literally a garbage bag!

4. Lickilicky

   

   It is really stupid-looking. They also gave it a stupid name: Lickylicky. It should never have existed.

   This name is totally inappropriate. And the Pokémon is stupid. Nobody ever used Lickitung anyway.

5. Nosepass

   

   Nosepass, known in Japan by the same name, is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It evolves into Probopass when leveled up in a magnetic field, such as Mt. Coronet or Chargestone Cave. Nosepass is inspired by the Moai statues of Easter Island.

6. Weezing

   

   I'm assuming this Pokémon sneezes... a lot.

7. Foongus

   

   Foongus, known in Japan as Tamagetake, is a dual-type Grass and Poison Pokémon. It resembles a mushroom with a cap that mimics the appearance of a Poké Ball. Foongus evolves into Amoonguss starting at level 39.

   Back away, it is poisonous.

   Wait until there's a brown mushroom Pokémon, then Nosepass plus Foongus plus Squirtle is Mario.

8. Voltorb

   

   Voltorb is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon franchise's first generation. Resembling a Poké Ball, Voltorb often surprises trainers by self-destructing in battles. It is known for its unpredictability and is often found in power plants and other industrial locations.

   Ah, well. Volt orb. NOT GOOD!

   Creator 1: Quick! We need a name for an electric ball!

   Creator 2: Idea! Let's call it Voltorb!

   Creator 1: WOW! I'm speechless! You're the best!

9. Drowzee

   

   Drowzee, known in Japan as Sleepe, is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves into Hypno starting at level 26. Drowzee is inspired by the mythical creature called the baku, which is said to devour dreams.

   This reminds me of how some weird parents give their kid a word name, for example, "Paisley," then they ruin it by changing the spelling to something ridiculous like "Payzlee." Who spells "Drowsy" like that? And who wants a Pokémon whose main attribute is being tired?

   He makes you drowsy, so call him Drowzee!

10. Geodude

    

    When I heard this name, I felt like I was about to fly to outer space because it's too funny! At school, we usually call geography geo. So when I heard the name Geodude, I started to think about a geography dude! The person who said Geodude is part of the earth is correct. Rocks! Minerals! See? It's just a perfect part of our earth!

    Wait a minute! Geodude is a geo dude! Geo dude means a dude that is related to or part of the earth.

    Spiritomb

    

    Spiritomb, known in Japan as Mikaruge, is a dual-type Ghost and Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It is composed of 108 spirits and is known for its unusual method of being obtained by interacting with the Odd Keystone. Spiritomb does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon.

    "Woah, I want to catch this Pokemon next! What is it?"

    "A spirit."

    "Okayyy, where do I find it?"

    "In a tomb."

    I feel like Pokemon ran out of ideas, but I guess it's okay.

12. ?

    Krabby

    

    Were the people who named it feeling crabby, and wanted this Pokémon to suffer the same as them, so they gave it a horrible name?

    I sure would be crabby if I was called that.

    Probably named that because it's feeling crabby! Oh, how I love to make bad puns.

    I would like one more Krabby Patty, please.

The Contenders

13. Ninetales

    

    Ninetales, known in Japan as Kyūkon, is a Fire-type Pokémon species introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Vulpix when exposed to a Fire Stone. Ninetales is recognized for its long, flowing tails and mystical powers, which are said to grant it supernatural abilities.

    Why does such a gorgeous Pokémon have the dumbest name ever? It has 9 tails, so let's just call it Ninetales!

    Excellent design, but it has the single stupidest name! It's just the number of tails it has!

    Really creative, Game Freak. You have really outdone yourselves this time.

    Muk, known in Japan as Betbeton, is a Poison-type Pokémon that evolves from Grimer starting at level 38. It first appeared in the original Pokémon Red and Blue games. Muk is known for its sludge-like, amorphous body and its extremely foul odor, which it uses to repel enemies.... read more

    "What should we call the muck Pokémon?"

    "I know, Muk."

    "You are a genius. Where in the world do you come up with these great names?"

    Wow! Creative name! And guess what? It's spelled backward. That's right. It's kill me right now.

    What's Muk spelled backward? And let's be honest here, he doesn't look too far from it.

15. Igglybuff

    

    Igglybuff, known in Japan as Pupurin, is a Normal and Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It evolves into Jigglypuff when it reaches a high level of friendship. Jigglypuff can then evolve into Wigglytuff when exposed to a Moon Stone.

    Probably because it's really buff.

It is a dual-type Psychic and Fairy Pokémon, though it was originally only Psychic-type before Generation VI. Mr. Mime is known for using mime-like gestures to... read more

    Mr. Mime's name is another one of those that felt like Gamefreak couldn't think of a name for it, so they just slapped Mr. in front of the Pokémon's concept.

    It's called Sawk because it's a sock puppet. Ahahahaha! *runs before tomatoes hit me*

20. Mewtwo

    It's Mew number two, which equals Mewtwo. Nothing bad about it, actually.

Despite its fearsome appearance, Granbull is often described as timid and easily scared. Its strong jaw enables powerful biting moves, making... read more

    It is exactly granny and bulldog mixed together. Plus, it looks so plain.

22. Ekans

    

    Real original. No one will ever figure this out.

23. Baltoy

    

24. Pineco

    

    Wow, it's a pine cone. Just take the last two letters off the name and give it eyes, and now it's a Pokémon.

    It's just a pinecone with eyes, so take the last two letters off of pinecone to make a Pokémon name!

25. Litten
