I think UBs are my favorite for being a horror trope that isn't ghost type. They're odd, uncanny, frightfully alien, and the best part? All those things listed are what THEY think of YOU. Their fear leads them to being very dangerous. An invasive species on crack that can really screw up environments, and actively a danger to themselves and others. And yet? You can still befriend one and see the Pokemon inside that scary exterior.
@@itsturniptime3699 Mr Mime feels like a person who had a bizarre accident and his face is perpetually damaged and so they put make up on to try covering it
I forgot how awesome rude and badass Garchomp is Thanks for reminding me oh and by the way I’m glad that in Pokémon shield Mr. mime is a Pokémon and he doesn’t feel like a threat anymore in that game
When I evolved my Baltoy into Claydol As s kid on Ruby I remember getting this intense feeling of Deja Vu like this pokemon had appeared to me in a dream before. I had not actually seen any pokemon other than in the game 😳
@@joshmiller1264 I think you might have misunderstood my comment. I was referring to 5:30 where he casually lists mimes along with aliens, interdimensional beings, and sentient plants as a creature which doesnt exist in the real world. I know that this is meant to be about the Pokémon world, but Ron is referring to the real world in this particular sentence. Mimes are obviously real even in our world, so I thought it was funny.
I don't know how many people pay attention to this, but I actually think Claydol's beak-looking yellow bits combined with each pair of eyes make it look like a looping series of cute winking owl faces! With the little round body, arms, stubby legs, and pointy head, Claydol's just a silly little guy. I love it.
I've never thought of it like that before, but I can see where you're coming from. Does not make Claydol any less of an abomination in my books, but does make it a slightly more endearing one I suppose, just knowing that there are people out there who genuinely think it's cute/silly, lol
I’m never gonna unsee this now! 😂 Prior to this I would always see it’s weird horizontal dashes as ambivalent, uninterested, closed eyes and then the other eye things with dots in the middle were like it’s surprised little mouth. Kinda this vibe >>> (-.-)
I literally came up with a Pokémon fan character centered around this exact specific thing. She specializes in Pokémon that a person would likely be scared of, and it’s her goal to try and help people get over those fears, or rather, to “master their fears” and that’s why she calls herself a “Pokémon Fear Master”
@@truegreen7 you should read the creepypasta about duskull he is more creepy than you could think i am not afraid of anything and duskull makes me feel uneasy from the moment i read it
I also have a fear of spiders (Id rather find a snake in my home than a hugh spider), so it amazes me how I like all spider mons designs - ariados, galvantula and araquanid
Im absolutely terrified of spiders but for some reason pokemon spiders don't affect me, I'm sure it would be a different story if they were real though 😂
Hypno is super creepy we all know that, but I love Banette... though in real life it would be really creepy too PS: That Mega Claydol design is so cool
The regis are just.. a terrifying concept- regardless of it they use their anime or game cries, it's still fucking horrifying. These huge, expressionless golems of the elements that are looming in height compared to us, cold and unfeeling, mechanical feeling, yet some are quite quick, and they typically glide toward you, making these unnatural, but mechanical movements. As a kid, I was terrified of all of the regis because of the way they moved and sounded as well as their size. Their designs are just damn creepy and it's cool
This past week, a friend of mine was playing that Friday Nigh Funkin story with Hypno. Needless to say, I’m still confused as to why Hypno wasn’t given the Dark Type yet.
No yeah. I am aware of that Dex entry, and it’s really sweet of Hypno, but that’s mainly for people IN NEED. Almost every other Dex entry states how dangerous it is
This really shows how personal our fears are, since I love Banette and Centiskorch! Great video though, I liked hearing your explanations and getting a peek into your perspective on these Pokémon!
I have a strange relationship with my thalassaphobia, i get freaked out and have to have my back against a wall every time i see deep sea images or play/watch games like Subnautica... but at the same time, i love it! I freaking love the ocean and the thought of those horrifying sea monsters existing. I watch videos on them all the time, and i even plan to get a massive shoulder tattoo of a giant pacific octopus, and to match that, on my other shoulder, i intend to get a horror style tattoo of Cthulhu
I’m personally pretty afraid of Gothitelle and really it’s entire evolutionary line. The black and white color scheme and especially the faces are both super unsettling to me
Nuuummberr Fifteeen...Naganadelll 3:46 I love the ironically monotonous voice haha. Reminds me of the Calm Mind Podcast: "Numberr 10: The Death of the First Bornnn"
My number one here is probably Black Kyurem because I played Black 2 as a kid and the opening in that game used to creep the heck out of me. The music gave off vibes that there was a monster coming to rip you to shreds and Black Kyurem shows up looking EXACTLY like it would do that. This was probably the only Pokémon who gave me jumpscares.
Back in Pokemon White, my first pokemon game, I was incredibly unnerved by the giant chasm because of the lore of Lacunosa Town. When I reached that small pond, I was in for a fright when that blizzard happened. Kyurem by itself didn’t scare me, but the build up sure did.
This is probably one of the more typically scary pokemon but I was scared shitless by Yamask when I was younger, I lost sleep over it and I'm pretty sure I cried a few times just from thinking about it. I'm not sure if it was just the design, the fact that it used to be human, or the possession thing, but something about it was absolutely terrifying to me. I think it's kind of cool now, though.
there is one Pokémon that singlehandedly made me afraid of the ocean. I'm TERRIFIED of seeing something like this pokémon in the ocean, even though it's incredibly rare even by Pokémon standards: Kyogre it's massive, it has sharp teeth, menacing eyes, and it rules over the entire ocean 7.8/10 stop giving me nightmares, please
I remember encountering a wild Araquanid for the first time in Sun and Moon and being totally freaked out by it, and I'm not even scared of spiders normally. It took me a long time to be able to look at it without feeling creeped out. Definitely my scariest Pokemon for sure.
Your videos are making me realize that I have the opposite of megalophobia. Guzzlord is one of my favourite Pokemon and I just want to snuggle him. Then again, I've always enjoyed feeling small, tucked away and safe.
You know. The Mr. Mime thing gave me an idea. The story of a Mime Jr. Being all cute and friendly. Just dreams of growing up into a big string Mr. Mine and Mr. Ryme one day. But it’s owner is creeped out by its older evolutions and constantly keeps it from evolving. And since pokemon do age regardless of evolution. It’s stuck as a grown, old Pokémon as it ages in a babies body. It grows resentful over the years till it finally manages to evolve and kills its owner in anger and revenge
There is something creepy about Golurk too if you know about the mythology that its design references. Like its not really a conscious being, its just animated clay that has no feelings or free will of its own.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Dragalge. It spits acid that can dissolve steel, so imagine the gruesome injuries it would cause to humans or Pokémon.
I have an intense fear of ceramic dolls or those extremely thin non human like mannequins. And while Claydol or Baltoy don’t really creep me out I’d love to see more of those possessed toy type Pokémon. Something that looks vaguely human but with longer limbs, thinner Frame, and an empty face.
Two Pokémon that just freaked me out the minute I saw them were Spiritomb and Galarian Meowth. I’ve grown more fond of Spiritomb over the years, but when I was younger, I was unsettled by its warped, abstract face that looked like it jumped out of a Picasso painting. And Galarian Meowth looks outright feral compared to its other regional cousins, with its giant, yellow eyes and Cheshire grin.
The pokemon that scares me the most is Spoink. Its existence is an existential nightmare. With every game it appears in I wish its pokedex entries change from "it bounces to make its heart beat" to "its heartbeat causes it to bounce on its tail"
Definitely agree with you about Steelix. Something about its face and worm like movements make to an instant nope! Also Glalie is unsettling even before its mega-form. WHY GIVE IT AN OPEN MOUTH?!
Uuuugh fucking Deoxys. I was TERRIFIED of aliens as a child, like a full blown phobia, and that thing was peak nightmare fuel for me in my younger years. I’m just glad I grew out of it before UBs became a thing because Nihilego and whatever the fuck it did to Lusamine when it fused with her would have literally kept me from playing the game/watching the anime.
I actually have all of those fears as well! I am actually a little scared of Registeel because of the creepy robot machine sounds it made when chasing Ash and the gang in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
I have a legit phobia of Alligators/crocodiles (not enough a difference to me), but 2 of my favorite Pokémon are Feraligator (I refuse not to add the “o”) and Krookadile. Idk if I’m scared of any Pokémon. I don’t like a lot of them design wise, like Ambipom, but none I’m downright scared of Mr. Mime weirds me out ngl but I’m not scared of it. I also didn’t know Nagenadel was based off the Xenomorph. That makes it even cooler to me.
It's kind of ironic that I had never paid much attention to Claydol at all before this video but when I saw the 3d model moving around in the video while he talked about how creepy it is I was just thinking "was this thing always this cute? I don't remember it being this cute" lol I like the big round eyes. It's not very different from Magnemite, Unown or Beldum to me. And I think those are all adorable, so yeah. On that note, I thought he was gonna at least mention Magnezone with where this video was going. Huge ufo like mechanical thing with that one big red eye. Tho I guess the fact it still has the other magnemite stuck to it as it's "arms" kinda make a little more goofy.
I can feel you in many ways. Deoxys frightened me at first when I encountered it back in Emerald! The Dex Entry didn't made it better. It made me felt uncomfortable to enter his Dungeon in Team Red. It was just illusions of itself you had to beat one at every floor. Even the look at his sprite which appears every time hit said something was unsettling. But the more I used it in Battle and at contests I started to like it more and more... Now I'm obsessed with it's design since it has one of my two favorite types I love ~ The Ultra Beasts are really creepy. I can't stand needles I hate them so much and what on earth are Guzzlord and Celesteela existing? god are they terrifying. Giantamax Pokémon made me afraid too. I didn't know that a huge Eevee with this "Eeeeeevooooiiii!" would made me feel uncomfortable Grimmsnarl is... I dunno why I sort of like the design but... Why is that so perfecty ugly? My best friend is arachnophobic she and an other friend both said that Araquanid kind of make them remember of a spider And I'm just afraid of Pinsir because Ash had bad thoughts about how a Pinsir would cut his Metapod in two pieces damn...
I have no idea why I personally find Naganadel kinda cute, lol. Though it doesn't hurt that it seems like it would actually be rather friendly, given that Poipole is at least liked enough to be a starter in its own world, as I think most starters do tend to be friendly.
Looking at Stackatacka again, it really reminds me of the Guardians from Breath of the Wild. Maybe that's why its always been unsettling to me, just a look at it and the intense piano theme starts playing... (or maybe because I have a general fear of eyes). Still, I like that the Ultra Beasts have a common theme of being unnerving since it emphasises their alien origins
Pinsir is terrifying because I watched a Pokemon video that was pretty disturbing and the teeth and it's sharp horns just make it more creepy I would never use that thing on my team and I would just never get any Pokemon cards of it
"well hopefully this video can make your day" Yeah sure, ''a comprehensive and thorough explanation about how terrifying a cute monster from a children's video game actually is'' would absolutely make me feel better.
This is sort of not in the spirit of the video, since it's more leaning on the Pokedex entry than the visual design, but I've always been really terrified of Shedinja. One of my greatest recurring fears in life is some seemingly inocuous act leading to dire consequences that spiral out of control and ruin my life, in ways that sound goofy but feel real - I didn't hold the elevator doors open for my boss, so they're mad at me, so I get fired, I can't find a job, I become homeless, I die of cold and starvation - that sort of ridiculous thing. The idea that the innocent act of looking into the hole on its back for a split second could suck my soul out and leave me an unfeeling husk absolutely plays on that paranoia, it's the ultimate way a tiny lapse in judgement can horribly backfrie immediately.
This was honestly interesting. I also don't think you're a wimp. Everyone is afraid of something. I'm still afraid of the dark as an adult. Also funnily enough Banette is one of my favourite ghost types.
My main phobias are arachnophobia (spiders), entomophobia (insects), pyrophobia (fire), and kamilopardaliphobia (giraffes). So any 'mon with an open flame (really most fire types if I stop and think about it), 'mons based off spiders or insects (basically bug types) and girafarig and its new evo are just an immediate "nope. Nuh. Nuh-uh." to me. It's a shame because there are certain designs I think are cute *as pokèmon* (like Ledian or Cyndaquil) but if they were real I'd freeze in place and wet myself. I'm also kind of creeped out by 'mons with big mouths like Victreebel, but that doesn't feed into a specific phobia.
and here i am with 0 phobias anything scary, usually facinates me the scariest thing for me, is when a butterfly or moth flies to close to my face, if it is at arm distance or behind glass, i like it, but have one right in front of me or in my room, i wanna catch & release it under a cup also, Naganadel is part of my main team in SwSh (in SV, if it can be traded over)
Guzzlord is a scary Pokémon... Until you see its sword/shield idle animation when its walking with you, it uses it's tiny arms to give itself a scratch pulling an adorable dopey face while doing so, how terrifying.😂
I haven't played as many of the games and boy golly, I don't think I want to play the one with the ultra beasts. Many of them really are spooky. Also glad to know I'm not the only one afraid of some of these psychic types.
I can respect a man going on screen and talking about how he’s scared of cute children’s cartoons for 13 minutes. I don’t relate at all, but I do respect it lol.
I thought a List Video would feel nostalgic and cozy during the spoopy season. So enjoy.
Keep up the good work, Ron! 👍
Going for the old style thumbnail as well
When is the next part of best regions in Pokemon areas coming
I actually thought this was a video from a few years ago because of the old "top 10 ___ pokemon" style of thumbnail lol
Do top 20 Pokémon you would eat
Man, I feel nostalgic watching these "Top X" list of Pokemon. Does anyone else feel the same way? Also, Happy Halloween!
Your not alone lol
Yeah these are enjoyable
The thumbnail is what’s nostalgic
I can relate

It feels more like a caricature of a person rather than just, a person like Mr. Mime

Hi
When I evolved my Baltoy into Claydol As s kid on Ruby I remember getting this intense feeling of Deja Vu like this pokemon had appeared to me in a dream before. I had not actually seen any pokemon other than in the game 😳
i love that ron includes mimes in his list of creatures that obviously do not exist in the actual world
I was looking for this comment
Pokemon do exist. That's literally the whole point of this video because he's pointing out which ones are the creepiest but on their world

@@joshmiller1264 ok!
I like how personal your reasons were in this video. Your descriptions and jokes made this video one of my favorites as a long-time viewer!
I don't know how many people pay attention to this, but I actually think Claydol's beak-looking yellow bits combined with each pair of eyes make it look like a looping series of cute winking owl faces!
With the little round body, arms, stubby legs, and pointy head, Claydol's just a silly little guy. I love it.
I've never thought of it like that before, but I can see where you're coming from. Does not make Claydol any less of an abomination in my books, but does make it a slightly more endearing one I suppose, just knowing that there are people out there who genuinely think it's cute/silly, lol
Oh I see it now and it’s instantly cuter!
I’m never gonna unsee this now! 😂 Prior to this I would always see it’s weird horizontal dashes as ambivalent, uninterested, closed eyes and then the other eye things with dots in the middle were like it’s surprised little mouth. Kinda this vibe >>> (-.-)
When I saw Claydol for the first time, I immediately thought of owls

She specializes in Pokémon that a person would likely be scared of, and it’s her goal to try and help people get over those fears, or rather, to “master their fears” and that’s why she calls herself a “Pokémon Fear Master”
Another good Name is the “Fear Trainer” because it’s a Pokémon trainer that deals with fear and also trains you on Fear
I love how the postproduction sneaked in the Banette in the background while Ron was talking about Banette following him home at night! 🤣
I AM the postproduction XD
That was the only thing that creeped me out except for Hypno
@@truegreen7 you should read the creepypasta about duskull he is more creepy than you could think i am not afraid of anything and duskull makes me feel uneasy from the moment i read it
I think in my opinion pokemon that are scary or has an unsettling pokedex are perfect for breaking the cute and fluffy and goofy pokemon world
I also have a fear of spiders (Id rather find a snake in my home than a hugh spider), so it amazes me how I like all spider mons designs - ariados, galvantula and araquanid
Im absolutely terrified of spiders but for some reason pokemon spiders don't affect me, I'm sure it would be a different story if they were real though 😂
Ok honestly I absolutely love snakes but am terrified of spiders so I completely agree with you
I’m not a fan of spiders but I love all of these guys
Well technically none of the spider pokrmon are actually spiders. None of them have 8 legs
@@zeroattentiongaming820 they are inspired by them but dont want to unlock arachnophobia
I haven't seen a truegreen7 title and thumbnail like that since 2015. Ahh the memories
Being attacked by greasy hair sounds terrifying to me. After this list, Grimmsnarl gives me "the girl from The Ring" vibes.
Hypno is super creepy we all know that, but I love Banette... though in real life it would be really creepy too
PS: That Mega Claydol design is so cool
The regis are just.. a terrifying concept- regardless of it they use their anime or game cries, it's still fucking horrifying.

The "I still wanna slap em tho!" at 2:02 was hilarious 🤣. Great video as always and happy spooky season!
This past week, a friend of mine was playing that Friday Nigh Funkin story with Hypno. Needless to say, I’m still confused as to why Hypno wasn’t given the Dark Type yet.
Maybe an evolution... or an evilution
Because Hypno isn't malicious, people misinterpret Hypno way too much due to the creepypasta, and it's ridiculous.
They aren’t really evil. In USUM it even says it helps people in the hospital go to bed and that it rarely harms people
Yeah, but there could still be a dark evolution
No yeah. I am aware of that Dex entry, and it’s really sweet of Hypno, but that’s mainly for people IN NEED. Almost every other Dex entry states how dangerous it is
9:00 If this came out in 2023 Halloween, Tarountula and it's evolution would be number 1 considering they have 8 legs.
Claydol personally doesn’t scare me personally, but I can definitely see why it would be disturbing or unsettling to look at
I didn't think that I was afraid of Carnivine until a wild one chased me in Pokemon Arceus. I was genuinely freaked out. 😅
What's scarier is when a horde of paras get the jump on you and steal your wallet.

Design wise, Garchomp is a creature from Monster Hunter, trapped in Pokémon aesthetics. XD
Yeah it’s literally a cephadrome (I think that’s what it’s called)
I love the "Number 15, Naganadel"
Same👍
3:46 bro really did the chills voice 💀
Did you say "Number 15" intentionally like Chills, or is it just something that comes out when doing spooky lists? 😂
That's what I was saying lol

I always appreciate how you don't show images based on the phobia you're talking about since we share the same ones lol
5:30 Ah yes ! My favourite fantasy beast MIMES
Well… a mime with powers.
Love the unique takes on the list. I would definitely add malamar though, the lore and visuals are both super creepy.

But it’s owner is creeped out by its older evolutions and constantly keeps it from evolving. And since pokemon do age regardless of evolution. It’s stuck as a grown, old Pokémon as it ages in a babies body.
It grows resentful over the years till it finally manages to evolve and kills its owner in anger and revenge
Ron:Ultra Beast aren't cute.
Poipole: Am I a joke to you?
There is something creepy about Golurk too if you know about the mythology that its design references. Like its not really a conscious being, its just animated clay that has no feelings or free will of its own.
The Golem of the Hebrew Mythology.

Maybe that's why its always been unsettling to me, just a look at it and the intense piano theme starts playing... (or maybe because I have a general fear of eyes). Still, I like that the Ultra Beasts have a common theme of being unnerving since it emphasises their alien origins
Just imagine a big spider, with holes, in the deep sea. that would definetly scare me
"I love Grimmsnarl, he came to my bar mitzvah." I'm dying XD
"Do you know the dread you would feel, looking into a black hole?"
Top 10 Reasons why Looker from Pokemon needs actual therapy
i love your commentary! always so entertaining :)
I loled at the Ambipom, but deep down I understand, monkeys make me uncomfortable too
Who's gonna tell Ron that Mimes are real?
"WhY DoEs RoN WaNt tO aSsAuLt A PuRpLe MoNkEy"
Pinsir is terrifying because I watched a Pokemon video that was pretty disturbing and the teeth and it's sharp horns just make it more creepy I would never use that thing on my team and I would just never get any Pokemon cards of it
"well hopefully this video can make your day"
Yeah sure, ''a comprehensive and thorough explanation about how terrifying a cute monster from a children's video game actually is'' would absolutely make me feel better.
This is sort of not in the spirit of the video, since it's more leaning on the Pokedex entry than the visual design, but I've always been really terrified of Shedinja. One of my greatest recurring fears in life is some seemingly inocuous act leading to dire consequences that spiral out of control and ruin my life, in ways that sound goofy but feel real - I didn't hold the elevator doors open for my boss, so they're mad at me, so I get fired, I can't find a job, I become homeless, I die of cold and starvation - that sort of ridiculous thing. The idea that the innocent act of looking into the hole on its back for a split second could suck my soul out and leave me an unfeeling husk absolutely plays on that paranoia, it's the ultimate way a tiny lapse in judgement can horribly backfrie immediately.
A Halloween related vid, yay
Edit: Also Happy Halloween, Ron
I legitimately thought this was a Jwittz video so I did a double take when I heard the intro 😅
I saw that Banette in the background. 👀
This was honestly interesting. I also don't think you're a wimp. Everyone is afraid of something. I'm still afraid of the dark as an adult. Also funnily enough Banette is one of my favourite ghost types.
*sigh* gone and reported.
I love Cacturne. I had ono during an Omega Ruby playthrough and it was a monster
My main phobias are arachnophobia (spiders), entomophobia (insects), pyrophobia (fire), and kamilopardaliphobia (giraffes). So any 'mon with an open flame (really most fire types if I stop and think about it), 'mons based off spiders or insects (basically bug types) and girafarig and its new evo are just an immediate "nope. Nuh. Nuh-uh." to me.
It's a shame because there are certain designs I think are cute *as pokèmon* (like Ledian or Cyndaquil) but if they were real I'd freeze in place and wet myself.
I'm also kind of creeped out by 'mons with big mouths like Victreebel, but that doesn't feed into a specific phobia.
"truly chilling"... you just couldn't help yourself 🤣
Useless video?
Truegreen7: Yes.
Happy Halloween Ron!
Normal people when they see a banette behind the: 😱
Me patiently waiting for a banette to appear to add it to my team: 🙂
and here i am with 0 phobias
anything scary, usually facinates me
the scariest thing for me, is when a butterfly or moth flies to close to my face, if it is at arm distance or behind glass, i like it, but have one right in front of me or in my room, i wanna catch & release it under a cup
also, Naganadel is part of my main team in SwSh (in SV, if it can be traded over)
Haven’t watched Ron’s channel in a while, glad to be back
When is your next part of best areas in Pokemon region coming
Don't know why.... but the eyes of Sylveon and Alolan Raichu creep me out, they look dead
If you have seen the live action "Detective Pikachu" movie, I do not blame anyone for having a fear of Mr. Mime
“He’s invited to my wedding,” has to be the funniest phrase in this video
3:56 nice chills voice!
I like the pokemons Garchomp, stakatakataka and Araquinid
the first one is common but the other ones are hot takes
And Bannet should be one or atleast 2
Happy halloween Truegreen7. I hope you have a wonderful day.🎃👻💀
Nice try!😏
Just the humor man made this list based video all the more entertaining
Guzzlord is a scary Pokémon... Until you see its sword/shield idle animation when its walking with you, it uses it's tiny arms to give itself a scratch pulling an adorable dopey face while doing so, how terrifying.😂
I haven't played as many of the games and boy golly, I don't think I want to play the one with the ultra beasts. Many of them really are spooky. Also glad to know I'm not the only one afraid of some of these psychic types.
the thumbnail feels like old school ron
I can respect a man going on screen and talking about how he’s scared of cute children’s cartoons for 13 minutes.
I don’t relate at all, but I do respect it lol.
