Pokémon Every Villain Should Catch Pt. II
Today I present a follow up to my "Pokémon Every Villain Should Catch in Pokémon Go!" post with nine villainous nextgen Pokémon. These Pokémon, I think, are even more mischievous than the first bunch and would be terrifically hard to defeat should you encounter them in the real world. The descriptions come to us courtesy of the official Pokédex.
Disclaimer: These Pokémon are not yet in Pokémon Go but I am sure they will claw their way into the game some time soon.
HOUNDOOM
In a Houndoom pack, the one with its horns raked sharply toward the back serves a leadership role. These Pokémon choose their leader by fighting among themselves.
Type | Dark, Fire
Weakness | Fighting, Ground, Rock, Water
HYDREIGON
The heads on their arms do not have brains. They use all three heads to consume and destroy everything.
Type | Dark, Dragon
Weakness | Ice, Fighting, Bug, Dragon, Fairy
ZEKROM
This legendary Pokémon can scorch the world with lightning. It assists those who want to build an ideal world.
Type | Electric, Dragon
Weakness | Ice, Ground, Dragon, Fairy
DARKRAI
It chases people and Pokémon from its territory by causing them to experience deep, nightmarish slumbers.
Type | Dark
Weakness | Fighting, Bug, Fairy
TYRANTRUM
Thanks to its gargantuan jaws, which could shred thick metal plates as if they were paper, it was invincible in the ancient world it once inhabited.
Type | Rock, Dragon
Weakness | Steel, Ice, Dragon, Fighting, Fairy, Ground
AGGRON
Aggron claims an entire mountain as its own territory. It mercilessly beats up anything that violates its environment. This Pokémon vigilantly patrols its territory at all times.
Type | Rock, Steel
Weakness | Water, Fighting, Ground
ZEBSTRIKA
When this ill-tempered Pokémon runs wild, it shoots lightning from its mane in all directions.
Type | Electric
Weakness | Ground
SHARPEDO
Nicknamed “the bully of the sea," Sharpedo is widely feared. Its cruel fangs grow back immediately if they snap off. Just one of these Pokémon can thoroughly tear apart a supertanker.
Type | Water, Dark
Weakness | Bug, Electric, Fighting, Grass, Fairy
MIGHTYENA
Mightyena gives obvious signals when it is preparing to attack. It starts to growl deeply and then flattens its body. This Pokémon will bite savagely with its sharply pointed fangs.
Type | Dark
Weakness | Fighting, Fairy, Bug
If you're interested in the dark side of Pokémon you should definitely check out the independent game Pokémon: Insurgence. The game, by Canadian developer Wyatt Verchere (thesuzerain), tells the story of a murderous cult who is trying to use their Pokémon to take over the region. I've just started playing it and already my character has witnessed Pokémon used for mortal violence like in no other Pokémon game. It's awesome.
