Pokémon The 10 Ugliest Grass-Type Pokémon Ranked

There are plenty of grass-type Pokémon to choose from, but most people avoid these ten because they are so ugly. It's rare that Grass-type Pokémon aren't nice-looking. They are, after all, typically modeled after flowers, plants, trees, and other beautiful parts of the natural world. These things are inherently beautiful, and the Pokémon that are based on them usually are, too. But, every so often, a Grass-type Pokémon bucks this trend. There are a few exceptions to this natural beauty — those Pokémon that aren't so nice to see. Some of them are pretty ugly, in fact, or poorly-designed. This isn't to say that they don't have some appeal either aesthetically or otherwise, but they're just not as visually appealing as many others. Here are the Grass-type Pokémon that aren't so pretty. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

Shiftry

This entire evolutionary family is actually a bit tough on the eyes. Seedot is a weird eyeless acorn with no arms. Nuzleaf has strange-looking thighs and unnecessary nipples. And Shiftry is perhaps the worst of the bunch. This Dark/Grass-type is not the most beautiful thing you'll find in the forest. Shiftry are evil-looking, and they're supposed to be, but it doesn't lend them any favors. The strange nose, the leaves for fingers, the built-in geta sandals, the mouth that takes up its entire torso — it's not a nice-looking Pokémon.

Thwackey

It seems like the Generation VIII starters each suffer from an awkward middle-evolution stage. This is typical with starters, as that are stuck halfway between the cute base stage and fierce final forms. Thwackey is no exception here, and might actually be one of the best examples of this. Grookey is cute, Rillaboom is big and cool, but Thwackey looks like an awkward blend of the two of them. The weird coloring, the strange lack of distinction between its torso and legs, and the worried, uncomfortable look on its face are just the beginning of the problems with this thing.

Weepinbell

It probably comes as a surprise to few that Weepinbell is on this list. The Grass/Poison-type Pokémon from Generation I has long been held as an example of an ugly Pokémon. Its huge mouth that never seems to close, strangely-shaped body, and disproportionately-small leaf-arms are all weird-looking. It's no wonder many people think this thing is ugly. At least it can still evolve into something cool, which many terrible Pokémon don't get to do.

Hoppip

Why does Game Freak love designing otherwise-cute Pokémon with horrifying, soulless, blank, single-color eyes? This happened to Litwick, it happened to Snorunt, and it happened to Hoppip. This small Pokémon suffers not just from these weird eyes, though, but also from an ugly color scheme. Pink and green are not known for complementing one another at all. Jumpluff and Skiploom, the other members of this evolutionary family, are pretty alright. The design across all three is clear. But, Hoppip is just a pink blob with some grass on its head. It's just not the best.

Dhelmise

This seafaring anchor Pokémon isn't just hideous; it's also confusing and terrifying. It's unclear which parts of this design are the actual Pokémon and which are not. Is Dhelmise the anchor, wheel, and seaweed, or just the seaweed? The Pokédex implies both are true, with the seaweed being its true body but the ship pieces being part of it as well, so we may never know. Regardless, it's ugly. It's meant to be a bunch of possessed ship wreckage, which could never really be attractive anyway. Throw in the fact that this thing , and you've got a real horror on your hands.

Shroomish

Poor Shroomish. Its evolution, Breloom, is widely-beloved and has a super-cool design. Both are based on mushrooms, with Breloom integrating them into its design flawlessly. Shroomish, on the other hand, is not so lucky. This thing is squat, miserable, weird-looking, and features a terrible color-scheme. Beige and faded green design aside, why is Shroomish so angry? Its body can release toxic spores that kill all the plants around it, so maybe it's angry that nobody wants to be its friend. Or, maybe it's angry because it's ugly. We can never know.

Simisage

The three "elemental monkeys," as they're called, might be some of the most hated Pokémon in the series' history. Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, and their evolutions are widely-despised. This is probably in part due to their terrible designs, but also because they're somewhat forced on the player early in Black and White as a way to make the first gym easier. Many believe the three monkeys look like the same Pokémon made into three with a quick color-swap, which doesn't help their case. Whatever the truth is behind the scenes, the three are terrible and pretty ugly. Simisage does not escape this.

Quilladin

If you thought Thwackey was terribly-designed and awkward-looking, you're going to hate Quilladin. is terrible. While the pre-evolution was a cute starter option, it evolves into this weirdly-round and yet pointy rodent-looking monstrosity. It looks like a green balloon animal with arms and a nose sticking out of it. Quilladin might arguably be the worst starter of any type or evolution level. It really is just terrible to look at. It could have been swapped for its final form, Chesnaught, which is also terrible. But, Chesnaught is at least a useable Pokémon. Poor Quilladin is just bad.

Maractus

Maractus is often cited by fans as one of the most forgettable Pokémon in existence. This is in part because it doesn't really bring anything to the series or stand out in any way, but also because it's pretty terrible looking. This Grass-type, introduced in Generation V, is obviously based on a cactus. But, didn't Cacnea and Cacturne already fill that role pretty well? Plus, it has those terrible yellow disks for eyes that Game Freak loves so much (remember Hoppip?). This Pokémon could cease to exist and a number of people wouldn't even notice.

Amoonguss

Ah, the worst of the worst. Amoonguss is truly regrettable as a Pokémon design. It seems to be ripping off Voltorb and Electrode's Pokéball motif, but not in a good way. Both Amoonguss and its pre-evolution also feature the Pokéball pattern, but not for an obvious reason like their Electric-type inspirations. These two are just unnecessary. Like Maractus, Amoonguss is attempting to fill a role that was already filled. We already had mushroom Pokémon in the form of the Paras and Shroomish lines. Maybe a
