Hey remember that one time Pokémon Hunter J almost committed intended murder ORDERING HER DRAPION TO KILL ASH?!?! Everything about J brings back dark memories. She had technology that turned Pokémon into statues to make it easier to sell them to the highest bidder. So not only were the Pokémon being sold at the black market but they couldn’t do a single thing because they’d stay as statues unless someone turns off the machinery that kept them trapped. J was VERY ambitious she went for the big bounties. A Heatran that could use eruption, a Riolu that knew Aura Sphere, Regigigas and the lake trio

Being turned into a doll has to be really embarrassing and sad.
There was Guzma vs Lana in the Alola League. Besides freezing its legs, Primarina couldn’t lay a finger on Golisopod as it repeatedly attacked with Poison Jab, crushing her windpipe with Throat Chop to cancel out Sparkling Aria and cleaving the Z-Move in half with a Liquidation.

Pokemon having dark moments are one of the many things that made the anime interesting.
Pokémon was my childhood ash and Pikachu going away. I’m gonna miss their adventure so much they were a part of me, and they will always be a part of my childhood. Thank you for the 25 years of your journey even if they’re not gonna be on Pokémon anymore I hope they would probably make a cameo in the new Pokémon series that’s coming out, but Pokémon will forever be my childhood. It was the first anime that I ever watched when I was younger, and I still watch the old episodes from time to time.
I was 21 when Pokemon started, and I watched it with my then 5 year old brother. I watched until The Power of Us, then I was done. I've been fighting depression my whole life, watching a Pokemon die for real was it for me. Stupid & immature? Possibly. But I feel emotions hard & deep, so I was done.

Snubbul's death was terrifying tbh. They actually showed the fire consuming her. Theres also an episode in S&M where Lana's sisters are having fun in the spiritual world with a bunch of ghosts without knowing that they need to be rescued in time or the poor girls will be gone forever.

I thought the saddest thing about the first Pokemon movie was Ash turning to stone. Then I found out about Mewtwo having to watch his only friend die at an early age. :(
I was about to say... wasn't it ash tha was turned to stone? But then I remember that's the first pokemon movie, roles reversed.
Charizard almost being killed by fake Entei should be in the top 3.
I saw Pokémon Mewtwo Strikes back when it first came out. I cried then. I ow ed it as a kid and cried watching it. It still makes me cry as a woman in my 30s today.
Ash punching MewTwo and turning to stone was hilarious
A know you’re choosing nostalgia and all that yadda yadda whatever, but I’d say one of, if not the darkest moment In Ash’s 25 year run is when he almost froze/asphyxiated to death in space in the Black/White movie.
Mewtwo: "Yo Yveltal, you know what would be funny?" Yveltal: "Hm?" Mewtwo: "Turning living things to statues" Yveltal: "That shit do be funny, not gonna lie."

The Unown episode in master journeys deserves a mention. A girl’s Cleffa is dead and her sisters tells her Cleffa’s spirit is in the stars. The girl wishes for it to be night every day so she can see Cleffa’s spirit. It does end with her hugging Cleffa’s spirit and saying goodbye, but the whole thing is just sad considering it was a baby Pokemon that died.

Imagine cloning 9 generations of Pokémon.
And yet the real number 1 isn't even on your list. Sure there are already 2 other Mewtwo entries on this list, but hear me out because this one takes the cake. Mewtwo's origin is a short that takes place before the first movie Mewtwo Strikes back. A nameless scientist's daughter Amber dies tragically. He somehow captured her aura in an attempt to bring her back to life. He began experimenting with cloning to accomplish his goal. His wife left him because he couldn't move on. Giovanni hired him to create the worlds strongest Pokemon and he succeeded. His creation Mewtwo conversed with the other clones and Amber using telepathy. His power was killing the others without realizing it. After their demise the camera pans across the empty tanks where the dead clones were recently removed. Mewtwo was then drugged so he wouldn't remember this tragic event. Then in the first Movie Mewtwo kills that same scientist for considering him only an experiential subject. Why this wasn't even considered for the list is beyond me as its clearly the darkest story in the Pokemon anime.

The fact Pokemon has a Yuki-Onna stand-in is crazy. Cool, but crazy
Thank goodness! Finally Misty turned into a Doll!
I'd even say that Lysandre's entire plan in XYZ regarding Zygarde was dark. That series in general got grim when it was nearing the finale between Team Flare and the world. Wanna say there were even involvments of torture of various beings (mostly Zygarde and maybe Ash and his Pokemon)? Lysandre traps Ash and his Pokemon; they restrained and immobilized. This alone isn't super "dark", but since it's a 10 year old child being contained by a grown man with evil intentions, and possibly being tortured to bring out the power of Ash-Greninja (if not destroy that bond completely)...Yeah. Zygarde is on a rampage. This isn't really the dark part, but anywho...The fact that there are also TWO Zygarde and one was "Squishy", found by Bonnie, was pretty bad regarding whose friend it was. Lysandre seemingly dies in the defeat of Zygarde, engulfed in an explosion and no one knows where he is. It's most likely he's dead (but my headcanon doesn't involve him dying, but that's my personal bias; I actually loved Lysandre, lol). Onscreen deaths are becoming more common, but to have someone die in an EXPLOSION and not be seen again is way different than being turned into stone and reserrected or being killed, only to continue living as a spirit or even being "thought to had died" but in reality wasn't dead (Detective Pikachu) or may just be in another dimension (aka, Cyrus' fate in Diamond/Pearl anime).
You know that I Actually agree that mewto is a little scary, but the most scary thing that can ever happen in Pokémon is Pokémon being as scary to be controlled by someone that can be so as like scary through to Gary himself to be concerned about it just like when pikachu turned to stone because there are times Pokémon go through scary times, yet that how it is in Pokémon having scary moments for it so I’m proud that you list it for as scary moments for it. Bruce
Darkest moments is the entire Kalos anime and movies existing and the existence of Journeys.
Pikachu being turned into stone is what I saw a few times once, and it's very sad. 😢 I do know what he said before he's COMPLETELY turned into stone, though. ⬇️ "Ash... I'm glad I got to know you."
The darkest moment is Ash is still 10
Pikachu turned into stone is not only the tearful moment but also a sign of pure expression and gratitude.
