Welcome to the wild world of Pokémon, where creatures come in all shapes and sizes. Any and all themes of design have been covered over the years – including food!

Since the first generation, Pokémon have been found to mimic or be based on food items, and the list has only grown as more regions have been covered. Here we will run down the best food-themed ‘Mons, judging mostly by aesthetics and source material. This list is not in any order, so there is no specific Pokémon that comes out on top.

9 Sirfetch’d

Introduced in Sword and Shield’s Galar region, Sirfetch’d is an evolution to the Galarian variant of Farfetch’d, one of the oldest Pokémon designs going. This time, it is a white duck holding a giant leek and a shield made of leaves. It still retains the yellow beak and angry, furrowed brow.

The three birds in the Farfetch’d line are all food-related, but this latest addition is the best. It can pack a mighty punch in battle, as it is the only Pokemon that can learn Meteor Assault, a devastating fighting type move.

8 Tropius

Tropius is known as the ‘Fruit Pokémon’ for good reason. Found in the Hoenn region, this leafy lad lives up to its title due to its appearance and Grass typing. It resides in tropical areas and is even used on food production farms in areas like Alola.

The dinosaur-esque Pokémon has big, leaf-like wings which it uses to produce sugar by photosynthesis. But the most interesting part is the fruit it can grow – around its neck, it produces banana-like fruits, that trainers and other Pokémon can harvest and eat. These grew due to Tropius constantly consuming that specific type of fruit in the wild.

7 Vanillish

Vanillish, evolving from Vanillite and evolving into Vanilluxe, is a frosty ice cream cone. Plain and simple. The three in the evolutionary line take the forms of a small cone, a usual-sized cone, and a double cone, with ice shards looking like sprinkles and other decorative pieces. These Pokémon can be found without the ice-cream like snow, which leaves them with a rounded head in the same ice as their ‘cones’.

Appearing in colder climates, the dessert-themed Pokémon are known for their Ice attacks. But it is recommended not to try and eat them, as Vanillish is known to freeze and then shatter enemies.

6 Polteageist

The Galarian region introduced many food-themed Pokémon, possibly due to the British ‘tea and scones’ stereotype. However, it did give players the adorable Polteageist, and its pre-evolution, Sinistea. Born of a lonely spirit inhabiting a leftover cup of tea, there are two forms to this Pokémon: the phony and authentic. These require two different items to evolve into Polteageist.

Polteageist is made from a specific black tea, which is a delightful drink but can cause illness if consumed in excess. Only trusted trainers are allowed to drink it.

5 Alcremie

It’s not hard to see why this particular Pokémon is on the list – Alcremie is literally a large, anthropoid stack of dollops of cream. The Gigantamax form doesn’t disappoint either, as it turns into a huge multi-layered cake.

All types of Alcremie evolve from Milcery in slightly different ways. There are nine different flavor variations of it, including Matcha, Lemon Cream, and Rainbow Swirl. What determines the form is the time and duration of Milcery’s spinning, and what sweet it is holding. This probably is to mimic a mixer’s movements.

4 Steenee

Another ‘Fruit Pokémon’ is Steenee. The middle child of the evolutionary line is the one that closest resembles the source material: a mangosteen fruit. Native to tropical areas, the fruit is a portion of sweet and tangy food.

The fruit (and Pokémon) have a round, purple body with white sectional segments inside. There is a short stem and curved leaves on top. Bounsweet, the previous evolution, is particularly known for its sweet smell, and due to this, the line is targeted by fruit-feeding birds like Toucannon and Corviknight.

3 Exeggcute

An old classic, Exeggcute is one of the first foody Pokémon to exist. Despite its evolution, Exeggutor, being a coconut bearing tree – Exeggcute is a cluster of slightly damaged eggs. According to the Pokedex, though, they are more closely related to plant seeds despite their incredibly eggy appearance. Their genes contain that of plants, among other species.

If Exeggutor’s heads should fall, they become Exeggcute, and the more cracked they appear, the closer to evolution they are. They can also somehow replace a missing ‘egg’ overnight, should it be lost.

2 Swirlix

Swirlix is another creature that is known as a food type – the ‘Cotton Candy Pokémon’. This is due to its fluffy, white fur that so closely resembles a wad of candyfloss. Swirlix evolves into Slurpuff when holding a Whipped Dream item – which looks like a meringue with a cherry on top.

This Mon is known to only eat sweets, which in turn makes its body sticky. The more it eats, the more it weighs. But, if it does not eat enough sugary foods, it can become angry. It also exudes the smell of cotton candy!

1 Appletun

There may be some bias here, but Appletun is the best food-themed Pokémon that will ever exist. Sorry Flapple, you didn’t quite make the cut (purely to stop this being mostly Galarian Pokémon). Appletun resembles an apple pie, while Flapple wears apple skin as armor.

Both of these fruity friends evolve from Applin when exposed to either a Sweet or Tart Apple item. Interestingly, the two evolutions share the same Gigantamax form, which resembles an overfilled baked apple, with the Pokemon’s head sticking out. We still love you Flapple, but Appletun’s rotund pie-body won here.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are available now on Nintendo Switch.
