Earlier this month, Togepi also received a spooky makeover. These recent alternate versions are prompting fans to speculate on how more variants should be available.

Since the first games hit shelves, The Pokemon Company has come up with even more creepy Pokemon that seem to have been pulled straight out of horror films.
