In the world of Pokémon, as in life, beauty is only skin deep.
Recommended VideosSo let’s consider the ugliest skins in Pokémon, sort them in ascending order of repulsiveness, and make fun of them for being a bunch of pizza-faced losers who probably took their sisters to prom and practiced kissing on a dirty old leather wallet that they found on the floor of the subway.

Maybe Grimmsnarl doesn’t look like a living nightmare to you. That’s okay, that’s just ignorance. It’ll pass.
See, what makes the final evolution of Impidimp so nauseating is a detail that doesn’t necessarily translate to its animated form. Sure, it looks like it has one of those MCU personal trainers that can double the size of a given Nanjiani with just eight weeks and a nondisclosure agreement, but what you might not know is that all of those muscles are actually its hair. Grimmsnarl’s hair is prehensile, and it uses it to create a 100% hair body suit in the shape of sick gains.
Imagine if Chris Hemsworth started talking to you at a bar, and you suddenly realized that all of his muscles were just a perfectly arranged, multi-layer collection of body hair the color of pale skin. That’s the horror of Grimmsnarl. Okay, pleasant dreams.

“Here’s my idea for a Pokémon. It’s a barnacle, but it’s made out of hands, but its hands are its heads. Also, it gets more hands and heads the bigger it gets. As a gentle reminder before you give feedback, my father does own the company and he said that I can fire any of you for my birthday.”
