Not all Pocket Monsters are cute. Or, at least, are seen as such. A recent Japanese poll ranked which Pokémon people thought were the ugliest of them all.




Data research site Goo Ranking polled 500 men and women (250 of each) with their ages ranging from 20 to 39 about which Pokémon they thought were unattractive. Keep in mind that this is entirely subjective, as polls of this sort are, but here are the ten that were voted ugliest of them all.
