Pokemon eat people?!

Sweet summer child, GF have been talking about that from the beginning lmao. Yes, Pokemon eat people. Or feed off of them, not always entirely gobbled up. Some examples: 

Guzzlord:

I mean... it’s a pretty prominent post-game plot point in SUMO that Guzzlord eats anything, including people such as a previous Faller Looker and Nanu used as bait years ago. Every Pokedex entry aside from Ultra Sun talks about how it’s constantly eating and constantly hungry and will devour whole moutain ranges and cities: Sun: It has gobbled mountains and swallowed whole buildings, according to reports. It's one of the Ultra Beasts.Ultra Moon: An unknown life-form called a UB. It may be constantly hungry—it is certainly always devouring something.

Litwick, Lampent, Chandelure:

Not strictly physically eating but they do basically sap your soul/life energy until you die/ are an empty husk: (Litwick) Black: Litwick shines a light that absorbs the life energy of people and Pokémon, which becomes the fuel that it burns.(Lampent) Black2/White2: The spirits it absorbs fuel its baleful fire. It hangs around hospitals waiting for people to pass on.(Chandelure) White: Being consumed in Chandelure's flame burns up the spirit, leaving the body behind.

Golbat and Crobat

Whilst it applies to the whole line, it’s only ever really played up with Golbat. It’s an absolutely gluttonous vampire bat that over-gorges itself on blood, Crobat has it mentioned in a lesser extent: (Golbat) Sapphire: Golbat bites down on prey with its four fangs and drinks the victim's blood. It becomes active on inky dark moonless nights, flying around to attack people and Pokémon.(Golbat) Moon: Sometimes they drink so much blood, they can't fly anymore. Then they fall to the ground and become food for other Pokémon.(Crobat) Ultra Sun: Its fangs are so sharp, if it bites you in the dark and sucks your blood, you won't notice any pain or realize you've been bitten.

Hydreigon: 

Whilst not explicitly said to eat people, it’s Pokedex entries heavily imply that it can and will when on a rampage: White: The heads on their arms do not have brains. They use all three heads to consume and destroy everything.Black2/White2: It responds to movement by attacking. This scary, three-headed Pokémon devours everything in its path!

Jellicent and Dragalge:

Whilst not related their Pokedex entries both imply pretty much the same sort of thing: they have been known to attack ships entering their territory and said ships aren’t seen again. With Jellicent it’s explicit they devour the life energy of those onboard, but it’s heavily implied to be the case with Draglage since it is a predator.  (Jellicent) Black: The fate of the ships and crew that wander into Jellicent's habitat: all sunken, all lost, all vanished.(Jellicent) Ultra Sun: Jellicent is always hanging around fancy cruise ships and tankers, hoping to drag away its prey.(Dragalge) Y: Tales are told of ships that wander into seas where Dragalge live, never to return.(Dragalge) Ultra Moon: It blends in with seaweed to ambush its prey and then takes them down with a poisonous liquid strong enough to melt metal.

Cacturne: 

Genuinely terrifying in that it just follows people and Pokemon lost in the deserts it inhabits and just waits for them to keel over. Imagine how horrifying a feeling that is, to have this Pokemon trailing behind waiting for you to die. Sapphire: If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, Cacturne will follow in a ragtag group. The Pokémon are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving.FireRed/LeafGreen: It lives in deserts. It becomes active at night when it hunts for prey exhausted from the desert's heat.

Victreebel

Another case of people straying into their territory and never returning. Only more horrifying because it’s a giant pitcher plant. You are being slowly eaten/digested alive by their acid. Red/Blue: Said to live in huge colonies deep in jungles, although no one has ever returned from there.Yellow: Lures prey with the sweet aroma of honey. Swallowed whole, the prey is melted in a day, bones and all.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, there’s plenty of other Pokemon mentioned to consume people in some way or another, whether it’s physically eating them or draining their body fluids or lifeforce and there’s others that whilst it isn’t outright stated, you can make the assumption they do based on context clues. 

Other delightful ‘mons I didn’t go into detail on: Sandygast/Palossand, Shiinotic, Tyrantrum (fortunately extinct in the wild), Froslass and Glalie, Rampardos (extinct in the wild and also hilarious given it’s based on a herbivorous dinosaur), Drapion, Darkrai, Yveltal, Gyarados and Kyurem. Again, there’s more than that, but they’re some truly LOVELY ones to think about too.
