Pokemon sizes that surprise you

Joltik.....have you seen how small! I did expect him to be a little bit small, something like a small starter....but in the Anime.....just WOW....

And FYI, Joltik is the tiniest Pokemon out there...

I was very surprised by Tyranitar,Dragonite,Roserade,Beartic etc You know, ttar is a monster.It should be massive not slightly taller than your dad.This applies to Dnite as well..Roserade,well it is a rose afterall but I don't like its size.And of course Beartic.He is a polar bear.Standing polar bears are huge.He is about 2m and something.

I expected Tyranitar to be larger, especially seeing how large they made Wailord, so it's not like they are limiting themselves lol. Tyranitar could have easily been about 8/9 feet, but he's only 6'7". That's human size, for some.

Another Pokemon with a size that surprised me was Staraptor, it's smaller than I first thought (Final evos are often really big).

A lot of game sizes are awkward; I don't imagine Game Freak put much thought into it.

Game Freak must be not put some thought to this trivia matter. Just look how absurd the pokedex entry really is.
Heck, they even did not give any side character a story or some sort.
I wonder if their writer really do any job at all.

IMO, not all final evos have to be huge in size. Their optimal size are supposed to represent what creature they based on.

Score! I just came here to write it down....i was Ninja'd >.<

But really, Staraptor looks Huge in the Anime, when I checked his height in the in-game Pokedex, :\ it....wasn't really "BIG" .

Another Pokemon I should mention is Yanmega, it's bigger than an average 10-year-old Pokemon Trainer.

It's based on a dragonfly, yet it is actually 6 feet 3 inches tall. That's big for a bug!

Insects millions of years ago used to be much bigger (up to half a metre in size), because there was more oxygen in the atmosphere then which allowed them to survive (they wouldn't get enough of it from today's atmosphere). Given Yanma evolves when knowing AncientPower, it makes sense (the size is still exaggerated, though).

Have any of you seen Scolipede's size, it's huge!

And get this, Gengar is smaller than Haunter!

Or if you see Bellossom, it's smaller than the rest of its evolutionary line (even Oddish!)

Classic Roselia. I thought it would be like, oddish size. That and digglet, the 8-inch thing caught me by suprise.

Roselia is one of the most well-known cases of size discrepancy. It is as tall as an average Pokemon Trainer's legs in the anime, but when you look at it in the games it's smaller than what you think.

Only 1 foot tall, making only just a tiny bit taller than Budew.

Furret: 5'11" that's a big polecat!!

Typlosion 5'7" I thought it would be taller than that, but its an all right size.

Every serpent-ish Pokemon isn't measured by height,rather length,so Scolipede,Arbok,Dunsparce etc. have this as length not height.

I was surprised by how tall Galvantula is when compared to Joltik,it's eight times Joltik's size.
