Most Dangerous Common Pokemon

Sees several wild animals in a given day: insects, squirrels, birds, dogs, cats, and so on. Now imagine being in the Pokemon world and replacing them with their Pokemon counterparts. Swaps out seagulls for Wingull and squirrels for Skwovet, for example. What kind of commonly-seen Pokemon do you think would be a huge menace? (Lets you determine what "common" is. Varies by location, after all.)
________

Hopes to never stumble across a colony of Durant. Produced no other ant Pokemon in memory. Weighs 72.8 pounds (33 kilograms) each. Eats through rock. Likely proves big enough of a problem to be largely exterminated near populated areas, however.

Would be a little scared of Fletchlings too. Only takes one Ember to start a big blaze.

Expects Combee/Cutiefly over Beedrill for bees, which would not be too bad. Nopes out if it is the latter, though. Measures 3 feet 3 inches (1 meter) long. Puts the average murder hornet (1.5 - 2 inches) to shame.
 
The majority of bug Pokemon would be fucking terrifying. Even the smallest ones are still bigger one than the largest real life insects and arachnids. Like, we call murder hornets murder hornets, but can you imagine getting stung by a Beedrill? Or having a Centiskorch show up, they're like 9 feet long and can use fire =(

And if they ever make a mosquito Pokemon....
 
I'm sure there are worse, but Slugma/Magcargo.

From Sapphire:
"MAGCARGO's body temperature is approximately 18,000 degrees F. Water is vaporized on contact. If this POKéMON is caught in the rain, the raindrops instantly turn into steam, cloaking the area in a thick fog."

18,000 degrees F = 9982.2222 degrees C.
On a snail.
I know this is evidence that they probably smoke crack while coming up with Pokémon ideas and Pokédex entries, but it's just laughably high temperatures.

Similarly, any/all Alakazam would be running the world. "Its IQ exceeds 5,000." There is no way any Alakazam would respect a human enough to be its partner, let alone its pet.
 
The vast variety of bugs aside...
Rapidash, the original one. A fire horse that runs around is asking for lots of fires.
And if Swanna are anywhere near as aggressive as actual swans I better start avoiding the parks lol
 
A 1.2m Queen bee is the stuff of nightmares. Bug Pokémon would be absolutely horrifying to see in real life.

Also, am I the only one who would be scared of Purrloin? It likes to steal things from people and uses its claws to fight, and I sure as heck cannot fend that off with what I carry on me every day lol. Getting robbed by a cat would be something else.

Its cute act is a ruse. When victims let down their guard, they find their items taken. It attacks with sharp claws.
Opponents that get drawn in by its adorable behavior come away with stinging scratches from its claws and stinging pride from its laughter.
 
The fact that any rock you walk past - Geodude, Roggenrola - could just self-destruct in an explosion at any time, would make them the most dangerous common Pokemon that I can think of.
 
Liepard; as there are wild leopards in the area around me, so it is expected to fear them.

Ursaring as well, for similar reason.



Now some funnier thinking;

Munchlax; I will definitely fear to move around with foods in my hand, if this Pokémon is around !

Ditto; who's who if it has transformed?
 
Essentially any Electric Pokemon (eg: Pikachu, Shinx, Electrike) would be incredibly dangerous. 1 amp of electrical current is more then enough to shut down your heart, and from what's shown in the anime, that can be easily outputted by even the weakest Electric types.
