Top 10 Pokemon You Wouldn’t Want to Meet in a Dark Alley
Palkia
Legendary Pokemon tend to be a who’s who of imposing figures, so singling any of them out becomes a practice of ‘yes, but why?’ Palkia seems a logical candidate, with its ability to distort the very fabric of space and the fact that it’s over 13 feet tall, but there’s something else, something that we can’t quite put our finger on…
Perchance it’s the fact that it can appear wherever it pleases at any time? Per HeartGold and SoulSilver, “its total control over the boundaries of space enable it to transport itself to faraway places or even other dimensions.” It definitely wouldn’t be the sort of thing you’d want randomly materializing in your living room. At the very least, it would really throw off your feng shui.
Its signature ability, Spacial Rend, tears its victim along with the space around it. What that means, exactly, is a little unclear, but it sure does sound painful. And rather existential, to boot. Even Harold Pinter would find it a bit queer.
…Oh, hang on. It’s the fact that it looks like an enormous sex toy. Yep, that’s definitely it.
