45 These Pokémon are the ones you're going to want to squeeze forever.
I don't know about y'all, but I live with a little thing called cuteness aggression.

I mean, who doesn't seem something adorable and become immediately overwhelmed with the desire to yell about it and squeeze the cute thing in question?
As a cuteness connoisseur of sorts, one of my favorite imaginary universes to inhabit is the wonderful world of Pokémon.

How can a colorful little nebula be so cute? I don't quite know, but Cosmog does.
36. Manaphy

Shaymin is like a hedgehog, but instead of spikes, it has leaves and flowers. Pretty delightful trade if you ask me.
29. Munchlax

Drifloon just float around like little, dangerous balloons.

It is a puppy? It is a kitty? It looks fluffy, and the purple eyes add to the appeal for sure.

Not only is Eevee cute in and of itself, but it evolves into such a variety of other cute Pokémon. It only gets better!
4. Komala
The Pokémon Company / Via giphy.com
WHAT A KOALA-TY Pokémon, amirite? This sweet Pokémon is always cuddling, and what's cuter than that?
3. Turtwig
