Being a little more seroius, I have to agree with you on Drapion. Drapion, also based on a scorpion, which is an animal I most definitely don't like, is a Pokémon just scary in itself. Its face is made rather angry, and its pose seems rather threatening, which only adds to its scaryness. Not to mention all the creepy fanart around the internet.

Another Pokémon that lies relatively close to Drapion in a matter of being scary is Victreebel. It pretty much looks like a Pokémon sent from the depths of hell, when you base it off of its facial expression lol.

[miltankRancher]

i see where you are going here, olli.



that shiny sprite is too scary if you ask me. Like he had finished some dastardly business of some sort.

and Victreebel is based off a real-life devil.

[AlexOzzyCake]

Seems Drapion is pretty scary! o.o One Pokemon I think was always suppose to be scary is the Golbat line... But who could really find this scary?



Okay, I admit that picture was a little biased, but even looking at an accurate picture...



I still can't see anything scary about it! The huge gawping mouth just ruins it for me. All these evil organisations need more Pokemon, Golbat isn't scary enough! Does anyone find this Pokemon scary?

[ShadowExcadrill]

Gengar is as scary as <censored>...
Just look at it in real, and you have wet pants xD

This little cute begs to differ! ;D Although based on this gif from the same site...



I'm now terrified too! :D Even so, is this scarier than Drapion? I'm not so sure, that thing is a monster!

[AquaFin]

I think Victreebell is the scariest since its a demonish flower with its mouth wide open with fangs that are ready for dinner--- a trainer.

[Curious.]

That eminds me, check out some Arbok images on google and you'll find some seriously scary fan art. :<

Edit: Can't find any :3 But its there somewhere! ;p

gengar is supposed to be scary since it is a ghost, but he strikes me as more mischievous than scary.

I get that impression from it too, really doesn't seem too scary! As for the scary pictures of Arbok...

Spoiler:

Well... It's terrifyingly adorable? xD

Name: Snivy063
Partner Pokemon: Roselia
Reason for Joining: I actually didn't like Poison types at first, because they are really annoying in battles most especially at times when you don't have any potion left and your Pokemon is poisoned. But I came to love them after I caught myself one which was a Grimer and fell in love with it! And so, I tried catching other poison types too. They're surely a lot of fun. My favorite poison type is Roselia as to which I chose it as my partner. :)

[AlexOzzyCake]

Hi Teezee, welcome to the club! Great to have you here. ^^ I couldn't have recommended a better Poison Pokemon to start with, Grimer is the best in my mind! And Roselia is utterly lovely and a huge pleasure to use; although I can't help but prefer Roserade ^^

New topic: 'If you could transform into a Poison type Pokemon, which would you choose?'

[Curious.]

Definately not swalot xD;

Probably Gengar, because not only is it an extremely strong pokemon when trainer and given the right moves but I love it's ability to move through things. x)

[miltankRancher]

hi there teezee!

anyway, on topic. There are many poison types I would love to transform too, barring Garbodor. I love to transform to Nidoking for sheer awesomeness. To crobat for the power of stealth and speed and flight. For Gengar for a ghsotly experience. To Scolipede for sheer weight.

But srsly, i would go with Crobat.

[Snivy063]

I would love to transform into a Bellsprout, haha

It's so clumsy and weird which makes it really soft and cute, just adorable. N'aaaw <3

[miltankRancher]

remember jeanette fisher's bellsprout from first gen? I would not call that clumsy, but boy, it was strong! It managed to defeat Pikachu!

[Avishka]

Which Poison type do you find scariest?'
Drapion,Arbok and Gengar

Hmm, this is indeed a hard choice. There are so many Pokémon that I would like to become if I actually had the ability to turn into one, even with the few Poison types there are it's still a hard choice.

In the end I think I'd have to go with Grimer/Muk. The handiness of having a liquified body is something I'd like to experience, where it would make it possible to fit through narrow spaces and stuff, and it would just be generally awesome. And when it comes to battles, neither of them are exactly weak, which is a great bonus if you'd have to end up battling :p

[miltankRancher]

I think that's awesome, but flight is speed is a better ability. You make pranks, then you fly as hell breaks loose.

[AlexOzzyCake]

Oo, great choices all around! I'm not sure I'd want to be Grimer/Muk though, or even Bellsprout. Despite all being some of my favourites, they have a huge problem with mobility! They can't even jump D: I think I'd want to be a Scollipede. Think of the sheer power and stature you'd have! Also if you wanted to get around quick, just use Steam Roller :D

New topic: 'Which Poison type move is your favourite and why?'

For me, it's a cross between four moves. Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb, Toxic and Acid Spray. Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb are both very powerful moves often causing great STAB damage and even with a chance to cause poisoning; these seem good in my books! Then there's toxic. An utterly unique move supplying so many useful strategies and coming in useful in almost every situation. It's a shame it doesn't work against Steel types! Then the other move, Acid Spray, is possible the most useful of all. With only 30 base power it isn't exactly a great damaging move, but it sure has a useful secondary effect! Always lowering the foe's special defense by two whole stages whilst also causing damage is invaluable. It means you can really cause some devastation, even with some pretty weak attacks!

[miltankRancher]

On topic:


I think mine would be a triple tie between Sludge Bomb, Cross Poison, and Toxic Spikes.

Sludge Bomb, because it's animation on Gen II is just so good.

Cross Poison because Crobat for the win.

Toxic Spikes because I love them entry hazards.

Hmm, this is hard to say. Back in the first games I really hated Poison type moves and I never had any Poison type Pokémon, so I never really got used to them. I got some Poison type Pokémon in later games though and if I'd have to choose between their moves, it'd probably be either Sludge or Toxic. I know that Sludge in itself is a really strong move and can be a real pain in the butt with its possible effect of poisoning ones Pokémon, so naturally it's a great move to have yourself. Toxic instantly poisons the foe and its damage keeps increasing during every turn it's in effect, so it's great to use against stronger opponents that could take some time to beat, though it's really annoying to be fighting against, naturally. A last move would probably be Poison Jab, though. I don't know very much about the move itself, since I first learned about it while playing PO. It was perfect with my Ursaring, and often damaged my opponents a lot, but I don't really know anything about the move itself. >_<

Poison Jab i actually a really good move on Ursaring (who have a very limited movepool IIRC) I used Poison Jab once on Infernape, and boy, it felt redundant.

Hehe! Poison Jab is also an amazing move for Sandshrew to use (just throwing it out there ;D). It's one of the strongest it gets and after a few attack boosts it really does some good damage! Plus the chance for poisoning is never looked down on ;D

[miltankRancher]

Poison is good! The chance of slowly damaging your opponent is very good! But there are by far, more powerful poison type moves out there than PJ.

That's true! Wasn't there a Poison version of Fire Blast introduced in Gen V for Trubbish/Garbodor? Something like Gunk Shot or Gunk Blast? :s If so, that could be a great move to try out using!
