Many Pokémon designs are classic and memorable and are appealing to look at. However, the Pokémon world has its fair share of uglies, as some characters are ugly to the point of being unsettling.
Top ugliest Pokémon ever
Pokémon is a franchise that runs purely on creativity, and one of its crucial roles is coming up with attractive characters. We know that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder but many people have said some designs look awful and you would not want them at your party. So, according to public votes on Ranker, here are some of the ugliest Pokémon characters:

Jynx is one of the ugliest legendary Pokémon, with a design almost as bad as its troubled history. It is also one of the most controversial pocket monsters ever.

Probopass is a dual-type rock/steel Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It has a big red hat-like magnet on its head and exudes strong magnetism from its body.
Probopass is one of the weirdest-looking Pokémon due to its small round eyes, red nose, and bushy black moustache, which consists of iron sand. It was meant to be like a compass with a pointer for a nose.
3. Dracovish

Dracovish is a dual-type water/dragon fossil Pokémon. It was introduced in Generation VIII after being resurrected by combining a fossilized fish and a fossilized drake.
Dracovish is said to have been the apex predator of its time due to its powerful legs, jaws, and ability to run at high speed. It is one of the dumbest-looking Pokémon, as its colour palette is awful, its jagged teeth are terrifying, and its mismatched body is unsettling.
4. Flapple

Lileep is a plant-like Pokémon based on a Crinoid with eight dark-tipped, pink, petal-like tentacles. It disguises itself as seaweed by making its tentacles sway, and when unsuspecting prey come too close, they are swallowed whole. The head is connected to the body through a yellow stem.

Feebas is a shabby, old-looking, fishlike Pokémon with a light brown body covered in dark, irregular spots. It is the definition of an ugly Pokémon. Although unattractive and unpopular, its marvellous vitality has made it a research subject.
Feebas is famous for its shabby appearance and is considered the shabbiest Pokémon. Its poor appearance makes it ignored by predators. It eats anything, making it suitable for adapting to polluted streams and lakes.
9. Garbodor

Garbador looks like a pile of trash spilling out of a large, torn garbage bag. It has one finger on its left hand and three on the other.
Not only must Garbador smell horrible, but this poison-type monster looks like its life is in pain. It clenches opponents with its left arm and finishes them off with foul-smelling poison gas emitted from its mouth.
10. Crabominable

Crabominable is a crustacean Pokémon that resembles a crab covered in white fur, and its fluffy fur enables it to combat the icy cold of its mountain home. The fur is absent on its face, and the tips of its legs and arms are heavily fluffier around its mouth, shoulders and claws. Its face has white eyes and a large mouth where two blunt teeth are visible.
Crabominable’s main ugly features are in the face, adding on goofy teeth with crazy eyes. Its design combines the worst parts of a king crab and the abominable snowman. In desperation, it can lop off its pincers and fire them like rockets.
11. Natu

Natu is an ugly bird Pokémon with a nearly spherical body covered in green, red, yellow, and black accents. Its wings are tiny and not fully grown, making it unable to fly; however, it can hop and climb tree trunks. Its face is its entire body, and its eyes are thin and large. Its wings are useless since it cannot fly.
What is the weirdest Pokémon?
Trubbish and its descendant, Garbodor, are considered strange and odd. Its rudimentary eyes and lips indicate that its author was leaning towards the absurdity of its design.
Above are the top 11 ugliest Pokémon that are not your typical cuties. They are the kind of creatures that make you want to look away because their designs are downright hideous. Despite not being so appealing, they have enough abilities to go toe-to-toe with legendaries.
