5 Edible Pokémon (& 5 You Should Stay Away From)

Believe it or not, some Pokémon can in fact be eaten by humans. Meanwhile, certain Pokémon should be avoided at all costs.

You Are Reading :5 Edible Pokémon (& 5 You Should Stay Away From)

Category : Pokemon

To enjoy a franchise like Pokémon, one has to suspend their disbelief and not question how mankind and Pokémon can coexist. Otherwise, questions arise regarding the food chain. It’s a grim thought but when there are Pokémon that look like scoops of ice cream, it’s hard not to imagine what they’d taste like.

That being said, there are also Pokémon that should never be included on any menu whatsoever. Out of all the Pokémon throughout Generation I through VIII, these are the Pokémon that would be the most edible and five that should be avoided. For obvious reasons, mythical and legendary Pokémon won’t be counted.

10 EDIBLE: Polteageist Is Black Tea

It goes without saying that people cannot and should not eat teapots. That being said, the pot Polteageists call their home is not their body but more of a shell made from the item required for its evolution. The Polteageist is the cute purple blob inside and it can offer trainers to sample its tea. One could argue that this is more of a potable Pokémon than an edible one, but there’s no denying it can be consumed without killing it. Until we get a list for the most potable Pokémon, Polteageist remains here.

9 INEDIBLE: Grimer’s Poison Could Be Deadly If Consumed

Has anyone ever looked at Grimer and thought that it looked tasty? Although it looks like a blob of grape jelly, it is advised that absolutely no one should come into contact with Grimer, let alone eat it.

The fact that it can kill plant life and renders the land unable to grow anything should be a dead giveaway. Anyone foolish enough to slurp down on Grimer will have to order a stomach pump right after. Hopefully, there will never be a “Grimer Challenge” anytime soon.

8 EDIBLE: Alchremie Is A Sweet Cream Dessert That Comes In Many Different Flavors

On the one hand, Alcremie is such an adorable creature that anyone would want to scoop this critter up and cuddle. On the other hand, it is made of whipped cream, comes in a variety of flavors, and its Dynamax form is a five-tier cake. Before anyone gets up in arms of this ethical dilemma, it’s worth noting that Alcremie can distribute cream willingly. Meaning that humans can enjoy its creamy goodness without killing Alcremie because it often offers sweets to its owners. Unfortunately, eating the other Pokémon on this list won’t be as easy.

7 INEDIBLE: Garbodor Isn’t Sanitary Enough To Pass The Health Inspection

Who would take a look at Garbodor and think that it looks appetizing? This isn’t a matter of judging a Pokémon by its appearance, but rather by the contents of its diet. Not only does it look like a pile of garbage, but it consumes raw garbage and converts it into poison. If the stench doesn’t make consumers sick, then eating Garbodor will undoubtedly lead to food poisoning no matter how well-prepared. It might be safer for people to eat out of the dumpster than to partake of Garbodor.

6 EDIBLE: Miltank Provides Moomoo Milk & Possibly Burgers

Since Miltanks are basically pink cows, it’s not a stretch to think that they are used as cattle. Without any real animals, humans would have no choice but to pick one of the weaker Pokemon to use for meat.

Moomoo Milk already exists in the game, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out which animal that comes from. If humans already sell Miltank’s milk, then they are likely grilling them up as burgers or steaks. Hopefully, Milktanks are treated more humanely than actual livestock.

5 INEDIBLE: Magcargo Will Burn A Hole Through Anyone’s Stomach

They may not have the most appetizing of appearances, but snails are edible and considered a delicacy in other countries. The exception to that rule would have to be Magcargo. It’s unclear if the Pokédex entry exaggerates its temperature or not, but it is a being made of lava. Anyone that can find a utensil to hold such a scorching creature would die from ingesting the blistering goo before it reached their stomach. If offered this scorching dish, it’s best to forego the Magcargo.

4 EDIBLE: Exeggcute Would Make A Great Omelet

If there was ever a Pokémon that was destined to end up on someone’s plate, it has to be Exeggcute. Exeggcute is a cluster of egg-like Pokémon just begging to be served sunny-side or hard-boiled.

While they are actually seeds and not eggs, that doesn’t excuse the fact that could still be cracked open and consumed. It’s hard not to think about it when there’s always one that has its yolk-like insides showing. One cannot make an omelet without breaking a few Exeggcutes.

3 INEDIBLE: Steelix Would Break A Few Teeth With A Body Harder Than Diamonds

This should be blatantly obvious but Steel-type Pokémon are in no way edible. Someone defiant enough could try and ground them up, but out of all of the Steel-types, Steelix might be the most inedible. That shouldn’t come as a surprise since this is the form Onix takes when it evolves but what is shocking is how much denser it becomes. Onix was already tough considering it was made of boulders but when it evolves into Steelix, its body becomes harder than diamonds! It doesn’t matter how determined someone is because there is no way to eat that.

2 EDIBLE: Magikarp Could Make Some Fantastic Sushi

The series rarely addresses how humans utilize Pokémon for sustenance but the cast has thought about eating Pokémon before. Not cute ones like Pikachu or Squirtle but ones that could be easily fileted like the notoriously inept Magikarp. It’s bad enough that Magikarp has gotten criticized and ridiculed countless times, but Ash and Brock have dreamt of cooking one up. When it reaches the point that the main characters openly contemplate cooking Magikarp up, it’s safe to assume they aren’t the first. Maybe Magikarp will make better sushi than a combatant.

1 INEDIBLE: Palossand Is A Choking Hazard

Anyone with a hint of common sense should realize that Palossand is not meant to be eaten. For crying out loud, it is a pile of living sand with rocks and pebbles embedded into it and a plastic shovel on its head. Ignoring the blatant choking hazards, how could anyone even serve it? It’s not like sand can be cooked, boiled, stewed, or roasted. It’s also practically impossible to kill since every grain of sand has a free will of its own. If there is something that can eat this, it certainly isn’t human.
