Enamorus tops my list, but there are some pretty awful Ultra Beasts as well.

Therian form Enamorus is actually the most hideous Pokémon I ever seen. Even worse than Bruxish

Couldn’t agree more! It takes special talent to make a Pokemon that can be repulsive in multiple forms.

While I try to give credit to new designs I can’t enjoy this flamingo flamigo*

To quote myself from a recent QotD thread:
Bottom 3 in order: Simisear, Galarian Mr. Mime, Pawmo
Let me start by saying I don’t hate any of these Pokémon, at all. It’s just that I don’t really like them much either.
None of the six gen 5 monkeys are very popular to begin with, and although
this Simipour artwork is nightmare inducing, I don’t hate its design nearly as much as Simisear. Simisear’s body shape and overall design is just ugly..
I’m not much of a fan of Mr. Rime either, but at least that one is semi-decent. The original Mr. Mime will also never be in my top 100 favorite Pokémon, but I also can’t say it’s in my bottom 10 either. I also liked it in the anime, where it was Ash’s mom’s helper around the house. Galarian Mr. Mime on the other hand is a huge step backwards from the original Mr. Mime..
Although I had Binacle as third bottom at first, it and Barbaracle kinda been growing on me over the years. In the past they would immediately be in my bottom 3, but nowadays, they’re slightly more up making place for other worse Pokémon. One of which is Pawmo. Looking at the Pokémon loose, it’s actually pretty cute and not a bad design at all, but with Pawmi before it and Pawmot after it, it just feel so unnecessary.. That is primarily the reason why I dislike it so much.. (Below the entire evo line in a row for reference.. They could all three have been the exact same Pokémon with slightly different hair styles.. )

Hm, those are actually three of my favorites. I think you have to understand that they have a grotesque element to their design on purpose.
And if you dig deeper, you can appreciate the design of Enamorus in particular: https://pokemongohub.net/post/research/enamorus-design-lore-more/
Maybe these elements combine in a way that still doesn’t appeal to you, but at least it’s thoughtful.

I feel like the Tinkaton encapsulates everything I don’t like about newer Pokemon. The dex description is literally just engagement bait for people who liked Corviknight. I think it ties into my deeper issue with Fairy type, in that it (mostly) only sort of exists as the inverse of “cool” pokemon.
There are absolutely fairies that I like, but they were all introduced before the typing actually came out (or they’re from gen 7 which had a lot of exceptions)

Granbull is the ugliest pokemon to exist. My son has one card of it and I absolutely did not like it from the second I saw it in his collection!!!
