Psychic-type Pokémon have some of the scariest abilities in the entire franchise. They can use their abilities to manipulate humans and Pokémon into doing their bidding and can easily freak out other creatures to the point that they will lose the battle.

10 Deoxys
This creature isn’t just a Pokémon it’s also an alien from outer space. This is one of the reasons that this creature is so terrifying because fans aren’t sure of its true origin in space.
This Pokémon is so mysterious and creepy but despite that fans have loved catching it ever since generation 3 when it was introduced. Despite being one of the most creepy Pokémon of all time fans absolutely adore this creature!
9 Mega Alakazam
Alakazam was always a scary Pokémon to some extent because it has extremely strong psychic abilities. Being able to mess with other people’s heads isn’t something to scoff at and this Pokémon can do that and more especially in its Mega form.
It was one of the first Psychic-types in the franchise so it was one of the first Pokémon fans were ever be afraid of. Although its pre-evolution is adorable this Pokémon is quite the scary creature!
8 Malamar
This generation 6 Pokémon is a giant squid and any person wouldn’t want to be near it without a powerful Pokémon to fend off its attacks. It’s not worth attempting to battle or catch this Pokémon unless the trainer in question likes to catch the most horrifying creatures in the franchise.
The reason this Pokémon is so scary is that it can use its powerful tentacles to pull anything underwater and fans are scared of its dangerous abilities. Combine that with its psychic abilities that can easily manipulate a human and fans get one of the most terrifying Pokémon in the franchise!
7 Mega Gallade
This is yet another Mega evolution on this list and it is terrifying because it can combine its Fighting and Psychic-type powers for both physical and mental distress.
Being able the damage both the mental and physical state of a person is terrifying and although this Pokémon is a good partner for any trainer that catches it everybody else should be wary when trying to go up against one. Gallade can easily defeat Pokémon of lots of different typings because of its dual typing and because of this fans should be scared to ever have to encounter one.
6 Lugia
Lugia is a legendary from generation 2 and it’s one of the most powerful creatures in the entire region. Its psychic abilities are some of the strongest in the franchise due to its legendary status and most fans want to catch one of these so that they can use it competitively.
Although this Pokémon is desirable to trainers other Pokémon and humans stay away from this creature because of how terrifyingly powerful it is. It’s only worth only battling if a trainer is truly strong enough to take it on.
5 Metagross
This powerful metal creature can decimate opponents mentally and physically. Fans are terrified of its giant claws that could easily cut through any Pokémon or person and it’s no surprise because its design is quite terrifying.
Trainers that are weak against the most powerful creatures won’t want to battle this one because its stats are some of the highest in all of generation 3 and even its pre-evolutions are strong. This Pokémons appearance matched with its high stats makes it one of the scariest around.
4 Orbeetle
This beetle was introduced in generation 8 and its terrifying appearance is enough to scare any trainer away. A lot of trainers don’t understand what it will evolve into when they catch it’s cuter looking form so they end up catching it expecting a beautiful butterfly Pokémon or something similar.
However, that is not what they get and they instead get a scary-looking beetle creature that is extremely powerful and hard to control. Pokémon trainers should be wary of trying to fight one of these because they won’t go down easily!
3 Mewtwo
This legendary from generation one is a clone of Mew and its psychic abilities are matched by few other Pokémon. It also can talk so while it is destroying its opponents Pokémon will be able to mock the trainer as well.
Running into one of these creatures can be a death sentence for any person or Pokémon. If the trainer angers the powerful Psychic-Type. Trainers should stay away from this legendary Pokémon.
2 Hypno
This Pokémon is terrifying because it is known to lure children away which is horrifying. Most Pokémon are friendly and nice to humans however this creature is the exception.
If these Pokémon were real it would probably be illegal to own and its psychic abilities would be used to commit crimes without a doubt. This is the kind of Pokémon that makes fans glad that these creatures aren’t real!
1 Necrozma
This Ultra Beast is one of the strongest Pokémon the entire franchise. Its design is terrifying and scares away Pokémon just by looking at it because its body shape and face are so scary looking!
Unfortunately, it’s intimidating look isn’t the worst of it because it is a powerful creature that can destroy most other Pokémon with its psychic abilities and its move set is extremely large and powerful. Luckily it’s easy to stay away from this Pokémon because it’s an Ultra Beast and isn’t too common however if a trainer happens to run into it in another dimension they should try to get away quickly!
