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.png


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)
Spr_5b_555Z.png


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)
th_493.png


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.
 
Would you plan to flesh out this article more for a release, or is what you've shown us here the extent of what you're planning? You don't need to add anymore now, but I'm curious as to what your intentions are.

There other factors that make him number 9. He seems to be happy, but with he may be a rare evil Togepi that just evolved. The only thing that keeps him above Elgyem/Xenu is that he has the most Christian ability ever: Serene Grace.

Oddish has everything he needs to be the crazy tree hugging Wicca girl. Except the fact that if she goes Vegan she is technically a Cannibal, but hey you know eat those plants and enjoy your Wiccan veggies you sick traitor to your own species.

Her black dress is perfect for late services when her voice is required. Also you know she understands she has received Serene Grace. *** We interrupt this article to bring you breaking news. The fugitive Mack the Knife has finally been caught by the pun police. They have supplied him with a laptop to finsh this article. That is all***All in all she is the perfect choir girl. (Please post my bail, somebody anybody please!)

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 eyes. He's looking forward to burning you. Look deeper you see those blank empty spaces. Yeah, those are probably pupils but they might be gateways to the underworld.
Houndoom is probably The Devil's dog that's ready to bite at your sores after Magmar is done. This thing doesn't even look remotely pleasant to be around. Scorching you with Flamethrower and then gnawing you with Crunch. Yeah even if you try to run away it will strike you down with Pursuit. This is probably the only dog you never want to pet. Ever.

4.Xatu
xatu.png


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.) He must feel very, very divided about himself. On one hand he can tell the future. N the other hand he is able to keep the Indian family legacy going. He must of chosen both, and it's turning out good for him since he now has a cool design (At least I think it's cool), and Future Sight. (Although Future Sight is really, really mediocre, but hey it has a cool name). You see this bird is a very spiritual!

3. Daramanitan (Zen Mode)
Spr_5b_555Z.png


Regular Daramantian is fierce, strong, and couldn't probably care less about Buddhism. Zen mode Daramantian is a different story. He's so into Buddhism that mid battle he forces himself to convert into slow form mid battle just to meditate. (Although this isn't seen as a wise move competitively.) Even though your able to Be a fast(ish) wrecking ball of fiery death he chooses to be slow just to meditate to get to Nirvanna. Now, that's dedication. 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 destroying 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. You think it can't be that hard? Well, you try KO'ing a bunch of 5 year olds while in the meditation pose. Actually don't. You'll probably get arrested and your social life will be ruined forever.

1. Arceus (duh)
th_493.png


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. Let's see Christianity: Normal Form is pretty much God. Wicca: Grass Form. Buddhism: Psychic Form. Scientology: Ooh, this is pretty tough. Probably the ??? Form. See with all of his bases covered he can be part of any religion. I mean who else can represent both Scientology and Buddhism? You see he's perfect. other than the fact Kyrogre is better, but hey lets ignore that for the next 5 seconds, Ok? Hope you enjoyed this list and weren't too disappointed that Arceus the obvious winner won.
 
I think we're going to say no on this one. The religious topic is a little bit sketchy, and honestly, there isn't a lot of humor behind this core concept. Sorry! Feel free to apply with a different idea if you like.
