Religion the thing that brings joy to so many peoples life. Whether you believe in Jesus (like me), Nirvana (not the band), or Atheism (yeas it's technically a religon) you probably have something to comfort you in times of trouble. but religious pokemon?!? Well naysayers (atheists) there are actually a few pokemon that can (possibly unintentionlly) be considered religious. Here are the top ten I have gathered after consulting sources such has monks,a couple of Jews,Xenu , and the ghost of Charles Darwin.
10. Elygem
Your probably wondering how Elygem can be on this list. Well look at this!
Yes Elygem would probably be Tom Cruise's favorite Pokemon. As you see the similarity in their dark eyes of death/the intergalactic empire (sounds like the Star Wars prequels to me) notice how seem to be looking down on something, but what and when? Only good ol' L. Ron knows!
9. Togetic
You may be wondering why a pokemon probably modeled after an angel is number 9. Well the answer is simple: how does he fold his hands to pray with those small arms? It must frustrating not being able to do a simple task like that but Togetic manages to live on with that happy go lucky smile of his. Also Serene Grace= Christianity.
8. Metagross
Metagross is here to represent the religion that dislikes religion: Atheism. You see with that super computer mind of his he's more into solving math problems than reading the bible. He's evolved 3 times so he must be a Darwin supporter. Heck, he's even so ignorant he doesn't understand he's outclassed in OU. This is practically everything that comes to mind when you think of atheism. You know excluding the blue for legged tank part.
7. Oddish
Oddish the Wicca Witch. Let's see does he know Moonlight. Check. He's he somehow related to Vegetarianism. Check. Does he have crazy Witch like hair. Check. Oddish has everything he needs to be the crazy tree hugging Wicca girl.
6.Meleoetta
Melloetta is that choir girl who's always ready to give her voice for the ministry. By using her Hyper Voice and Relic Song she sings those hymns like nobodies buisness. Her black dress is perfect for late services when her voice is required. Also you know she understands she has received Serene Grace. All in all she is the perfect choir girl.
5. Magmar/ Houndoom
Of course with heaven there is also hell. There is Magmar with his flaming horns ready to burn you poor, poor unbelievers. Look at his eye. He's looking forward to burning you. Houndoom is probably The Devil's dog who's ready to bite at your sores after Magmar is done.
4.Xatu
Xatu is up here since he can represent 2 different religions. 1st he can represent the fortune telling, which according to Wikipedia is a religon, and he can represent the native American religion due to his totem pole like form. (Must fell pretty stiff to stay like that.) You see this bird is a very spiritual!
3. Daramanitan (Zen Mode)
Regular Daramantian is fierce, strong, and couldn't probably care less about Buddhism. Zen mode Daramantian is a different story. He's so into Nirvana that mid battle he forces himself to convert into slow form mid battle just to meditate. (Although this sin't seen as a wise move competitively.) You'd think he'd be at least number 2 but..
2. Medite
While Daramanitan changes only half way through battle Meditie is meditating the whole time.Just look at him even while focusing on completely destorying the entirety of Little Cup (before he was banned) he is still on his quest to find Nirvana. Just think through the sweat and toil through just going through a bunch of toddlers, while still trying to find though inner self.
1. Arceus (duh)
Arceus is here cause he represents god all mighty. Also with his many different forms he can represesnt all religions (except atheism). I mean who else do you think could be number one? I mean he's the God Pokemon.
