Official Pokemon Shapes That Are WRONG!

Pokemon have official shape designations in the Pokedex...but a lot of them don't make sense.

I make Pokemon videos, such as Pokemon Sword and Shield content, Top 10 or Top 5 Pokemon videos, Pokemon Talk, Pokemon Meme Review, and lots more! If you're any level of Pokemon fan, subscribe for videos you're sure to love!

The round one isnt specifically armless, it's BLOB. So blob with tiny arms, it still counts as blobs.

[bryanbedard]

The “bug wings” category is supposed to be a “four or more wings” category, which is why crobat isn’t with zubat or golbat. And also why the ladybug Pokémon are in birdwing (two-winged) category.

Imagine in some spinoff Pokemon game, there's a mechanic where depending on your Pokemon's shape, it can do exclusive things. (Like Ball shapes can roll into different spaces, multi legged can crawl up walls, Humanoid can disguise themselves as humans., Ect.) I actually have a game idea for a spinoff involving this.

Each of Metagross' arms is a Beldum actually, so it does kinda make sense for it to be in the multiple faces category.

Mikey: "Arms but no legs"

Necrozma: Wait, I don't have legs?

[Meowzipan]

I love how he talks to the Pokémon like a concerned father

[adoor]

“Your face is also kinda a leg.”
Best. Line. Ever.

I’m super late to the party here, but I’m 90% sure the “4 legged good bois” category is looking at the pokemon’s “preferred” movement. Like with pikachu/pachirisu/gunshoos etc they actually tend to run on all fours and stand up on two when battling.

I’d still say cinccino and the buizel line dont make sense, but it explains the others pretty well

[Shokukun]

Ur forgetting Sobble STANDS on its two legs but when it walks or runs it is a chameleon so it goes on all 4s.

[kirstenrxse]

It looks to me like the “bug wing” is multi winged and the “dragon wing” is single winged

[technocosmos]

A lot of comments state that the bug wings one is multiple sets of wings and the bird/dragon wings one is one set of wings but I haven’t seen much of the quadruped category. The pokemon in that category are pokemon that run on 4 legs, so even though pikachu and floatzel stand on 2, they run on all fours because their arms and legs are too small to run on 2.

[randomguy]

Pokemon: doesn't fit in regular categories
Gamefreak: ah yes, *a new wobbuffet*

[Sammiwammi]

When camping, salazzle walks and runs on all fours like a nightmare creature

Also I just learned this in a course the other day: many creatures aren't exclusively bipedal or quadrupedal, including humans, surprisingly. There are animals that spend most of their time on all fours but are capable of spending time on their hind legs, which are called facultative bipeds (like bears), and the reverse - mostly bipeds but sometimes quadrupeds - are facultative quadrupeds; humans are considered the latter because as babies, we walk/crawl/drag ourselves on all fours before learning to stand and walk upright.

I think the doge catagory is more like the mammal catagory.
Also Necrozma has legs.

[mayanightstar]

i love how all hell breaks loose upon reaching the wobbuffet category

[Soleilune]

I've literally always thought the "search by shape" feature was entirely useless, because it's essentially random where the pokemon you are looking for will actually be. It's never what you would guess the first time.

[doctorxawesomestop-motion]

The “Wobbuffet” category is for Pokémon with a base that’s not like traditional legs.

[nikothelittlelamb]

Bulbapedia describes the Wobbuffet category as "head with a base", so that definitely explains certain pokémon like Vanillite or Cradily being there.
