    Yes, it's our little potted ghost fiendly friend, Spiritomb.

    I've noticed several and many people lately refuse to use Spiritomb because of it's appearance and how "Ugly" it is. Now my debate starts with, what do you expect? It's a potted ghost of 108 dead souls. Is it suppose to look like Wal-Marts smilie face? God no. Ken purposely made it ugly to fit a ghost/dark type, and I've noticed members of here and SPP complaining about it's appearance. I'm sorry, but that's retarded. Not every Pokemon is as detailed as Milotic.
    Recently also, people refuse to use it for it's Stat and god knows how F****ed up this next thing is, it's Type. 108 is a decent defense state, and offensively it's not bad either. People also whine it's speed is too low, yet Steelix is still used. And it's typing is bad? Bull! It has no super effective weaknesses unless it's against kangaskan or a move that make normal/fighting moves effective.

    This next question is mainly for those who dislike it, but why do you people think Spiritomb sucks because of it's stats, looks and/or typing?
     
    Its typing and decent defense stats are all it's got going for it. Its speed is crap² and its HP is pretty low.
     
    No way, Spiritomb is the best, It has gotten me out of quite a few problems in battles, 1 Calm Mind helps it's Sp.DEF and then I sucker punch, which gets a nice stab and aways goes first if they are attacking!, And even if he doesn't have EVs in attack, it's 92 is decent, Helpful stuff.

    And I reckon he looks awesomely evil. * Goes to get a picture to put in avatar and makes a sig of him*

    I just don't like how it looks, as you said. I Cannot stand using pokemon that utterly repulse me :(
     
    Eh, it is pretty ugly, I'll give 'em that. But there's nothing wrong with it's stats, and it's typing is pretty awesome. I'm strongly considering using it, myself.
     
    People who judge the worthiness of something based on its appearance are shallow in my books. Spiritomb isn't as cute as a Pichu or as pretty as a Milotic. So what? It's still a solid Pokemon, which in itself is probably superior to most of the "cutesy" Pokemon out there. In their own ways, most Pokemon are ugly. If I hated rats, I could say Pichu or Pikachu are hideous and disgusting. =/

    Hey! I take offense to the rat comment! D:

    Kidding, kidding. Buuuut yeah, most Pokemon really are pretty ugly. And I am getting SO sick of the super-cutsie legendaries. Mew was enough, seriously e__e
     
    speaking of which, shaymin looks so cute ingame with the animation, but its call is so pathetic. it has this horrible whimper that makes it hard for me to decide whether i should put it out of its misery or catch one and get it some confidence by winning beauty contests. the first one always sounds better.
     
    I find it ugly lol.. I like using Pokemon that are cute or not creepy.
     
    What are you talking about, it's a purple and green ball of gas.
    It's awesome.
     
    c'mon, you're kidding me, right? you don't want to use a Pokémon because its not "cute"? thats rediculous. look at Tyranitar. its pretty....pretty ugly. but that doesn't stop me from using it because its a freaking TANK! the same as Torterra. i started with Turtwig because it was a SOLID Pokémon. i'd love to get my hands on a Spiritomb because its resistances far outway anything else and, as mentioned before, its a tank. its lack of attack power is made up ten fold with its defenses (though the Champions Spiritomb still can't stand up to my Empoleon's massive power, lol).
     
    I've yet to see a Spiritomb stand up to more than one or two attacks (the Champion's Spiritomb went down so fast it wasn't even funny) OR show promise in the Attack department. That's why I currently have no plans to use it.
     
    I love spiritomb it's so cool looking and it's made of 108 spirits. That being said though gengar is only made of 1 spirit...

    oh hellz yea, floating balls of gren and purple gas ftw! i wanna get one now :P

    aaaannd, this whole new pokemon are getting on my nerves, i bet the guy that makes pokemon fell asleep while watching Jurassic park, on acid -_- seriously, has anyone noticed that? lots'o dinosaur and such related looking pokemon

    PS: no disrespect for the pokemong guy >.>
     
    I've noticed Ghost types dont have great defense/Sp. Defense. It's hard for me to put up them. I cant even get Spiritomb until I get my wi-fi set up, so idk how good it is.
     
    I don't plan on using Spiritomb because it appears to be one of those over-hyped and over-used Pokemon of this version. Too many people seem to be using it for my likes and I hate being another of the crowd (one of the many reasons Poison is my favorite type).
     
    I like Spirtomb alot not because its a Gho/Drk type its because it has a good def and sp.def
