What makes a Pokémon truly terrifying? Is it the one lurking in the shadows of the Pokédex lore, the one that broke your competitive win streak, or the one that genuinely terrified you the first time you ran into it?

Did a certain ghost-type give you nightmares as a kid? Is there an ability or strategy that still haunts your nightmares in tournament play? What makes a design genuinely unsettling, and which Pokémon cross the line from cute pocket monster to pure psychological horror?

This week on PUCL, Sharkfinnagen joins, Clod9, and R. Sigma, while Thatch's internet is down and they dive deep into the realm of the spooky to rank and dissect the scariest Pokémon across lore, competitive play, and the games themselves.
