Dark types and how bad they are

[crobatconey/leafeon lunatic]

Okay, i simply despise dark types and i think they suck. Like ive had a few dark types and they sucked, who here agrees with me?

 

[Silent Conversation]

I must disagree. Dark types don't have that many weaknesses and they could learn good moves (ie. Bite, Crunch, Faint Attack)

 

[Mega Trickster]

Dark types do not suck. No type sucks. It's your fault they sucked, because you failed to train them properly.

 

[Bandana]

Dark Types rule! How can ya not like Dark Types or Dark Type moves?
They got me outta tons of sticky situations.

 

[Chaotic Houndoom]

I disagree too. I say that they work pretty well. One day one's gonna beat you. =)

 

[Kev Chi]

I love Dark Types. Mightyena is one of my Fav. pokemon.

 

[Fallen Guardian]

When you get pwned by a Tyranitar tell us how bad they suk. Oh and I don't mean an in-game Tyranitar, fight someone who has trained one, and trained it well.

Also, ever heard of Houndoom? Yeah, great Special Sweeper.

 

[Orion-Sama]

No type sucks.

Poison and Ice say "Hi".

And I wish I was joking...

Dark is OK. It can deal with rather troublesome Types, and the attacks are rather useful. Such as Thief and Knock Off. It's got also a decent enough defensive. The only letdown is the fact that most Dark attacks are limited to Dark Pokémon, and their Stats favor Physical Attack. Not Special...

Something that'll hopefully change in Diamond/Pearl.

 

[taitofan]

Noctus is half dark, Blacky and Absol are fully dark... So I must disagree. I love dark types. I almost always have at least one that's half dark.

 

[GeminiDragon]

I like dark types because they are different and they are pure evil

 

[TheTurquoiseTauros!]

dark types dont suck!!! there just not as good!

 

[*$hinydragonite*]

Some dark types are good. Teach Eevee Wish as an egg move and evolve it into Umbreon, And it makes a pretty darn good tank, along with Houndoom being one of the best Sp Sweepers that can use fire and dark type moves.

 

[intergalactic platypus]

Dark types are a kickass idea and have some really cool designs, but they suffer from almost no dark type moves. The only good dark move is crunch, which is really too bad. I hope they find some new moves in the fourth gen to boost this awesome types potential

*joins the 'disagree bandwagon'*

No, I don't think anyone will agree with you on this one, sorry. Dark-types, in general, rule. They have a scary, yet cuddly presence. [umbreon .. <3]

XD

I think so too. I fell in love with Umbreon once I saw it in Gold version and used it as a Special Sweeper. I found out that was not a good idea (even though it wasn't half-bad since the Pokemon in that game were so easy) when I battled my friend with it. Dark and Ghost types are super effective to about the same things though and since most Ghost types have higher Sp. attack...people use ghost more.

Maybe you dont like dark types because your maybe too hyped up on the crappy dragon and steel team or even the legendary team,dark types are awesome and gets you out of the worst positions.

Mightyenas the best!;262;

 

[Nickronite]

I disagree too.. sorry...
But.. What happens with Tyranitar? Houndoom? ...
First, look at all the pokemon list.. ._.

I agree. My brothers stock up on Dragons and Legendaries, but will die from my superior knowledge and skills. MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Oh, sorry, I got carried away. People get so obsessed with Legendaries and Dragons that they overlook some very good pokemon, like Houndoom. Houndoom's a Dark type (and fire) and is an extremely good battler.

 

[Infinite Master Sceptile]

I wouln't say Dark-Types are bad, just difficult to use. Shiftry, Houndoom, and Tyranitar are all great Pokemon that are very useful. Umbreon, Absol, and Sharpedo, on the other hand, aren't terribly useful. So really, it's a mixed bag.

 

[Deathskully]

Dark Type attacks aren't that good, but they do get some useful moves such as taunt and knock off. Dark type pokemon aren't that bad though. Tyranitar is a good sweeper and Dragon Dancer, and Umbreon is a good mean looker and baton passer.
