The Best Dark Type

[skywalker]

Which is the BEST dark type Pokemon? Please explain your choice. I choose Absol for its extremely high attack power (although dark is a special type).

 

[Amadeus]

Tyranitar, even if it's so strong as to be boring. It's the most powerful, even if Heracross makes him cry.

 

[FDT Emperor]

Tyranitar, because it has high Attack and good overall stats. It learns Dragon Dance, and has 404 max HP. And the BOAH version is great to destroy stuff like Gengar/Blissey/Skarmory.

 

[Anikin]

I say Sharpedo. The coolest water and Dark Pokemon Pokemon in the universe. I mean why doesn't anybody like him the way I do.

 

[Felidire]

Umbreon without a doubt,
It could single-handedly take down each of those pokemon 1 on 1

 

[Ex_Mightyena]

Ooo oh mightyena all the way!
Why?Just because of the awesome looks and fierceness.
Well It can get shadow ball,crunch,bite,poison fang(Bit hard to get),strength and etc.
It may not be strong but when these new laws of physics for D/P happen hes moves like crunch with his high attack (Well higher then sp.atk anyway) should be good

 

[Juputoru]

Best in battle? T-tar, of course. Best as in which one I like the most? Mightyena.

 

[~Flareon~]

EDIT: I think the best dark type Pokemon is Houndoom. Because it's so cool.

 

[BattleFranky~40]

Houndoom. Don't care about the others.

You forgot a certain Sharp Claw Pokemon that gets my vote regardless of any opinion on me being a biased little b!tch. Sneasel.

Yes, she has sh!t Special Attack power but she's still a good battler in UU and NU and can hold her own in BL. Do not dismiss her as a OHKO in any of those tiers because i'd gladly prove you wrong if I could. It's just Fighting and i'll stress that constantly. *beams* She's also laughing because of Diamond and Pearl's new move system. If Shadow Claw is Dark... team that up with physcal Ice Punch and wham! Finally, useful STAB.

Umbreon also gets a mention. Good tank and if he was to learn Counter at any chance...

Umbreon is not as good as Tyranitar, who I voted. Umbreon, however, is a decent defensive force and a supportive Pokemon.

Umbreon outspeeds Ttar, It has far less weaknesses from what I've seen (Having used both of the two), and It's defencive stat makes tyranitar's attack look like a joke.

 

[Orion-Sama]

Tyranitar. It's broken.

Houndoom and Absol I prefer, though.

 

[Psydaquil]

Its Murkrow!

 

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

Umbreon outspeeds Ttar, It has far less weaknesses from what I've seen (Having used both of the two), and It's defencive stat makes tyranitar's attack look like a joke.

1. There is no way, at all, ever, that an Umbreon can beat a Tyranitar. It's just impossible. So don't even try to prove it.

2. Tyranitar's Attack is higher than both of Umbreon's Defenses. Try again.

And yes, I vote Tyranitar. Murkrow and Sharpedo are my favorites, but Tyranitar is easily the strongest Dark Type out there. Amazing Stats in everything except Speed, and even then, it gets Dragon Dance.

Taunt from DDtar means umbreon can't do **** while you DD up. If umby taunts you first, then you still win by having offense. Boah's subs make umbreon worthless and you can focus punch it to death. Cbtar gets a free focus punch since any good umbreon doesn't have any attacking moves.

Anyway, I like houndoom and sharpedo the best. Tyranitar may be the best, but it is too glorified for me, even for good reason.

 

[kyogre king]

Tyranitar or absol

 

[Felidire]

You can like Tyranitar more than Umbreon, I'm fine with that.
Just all my past experiences with Tyranitar in my team have been unfortunate. Having been in a position of *Umbreon \vs. TTar* and not having lost once, I have to advocate for my Umby.

No standard Tyranitar could take an Umbreon 1 on 1,
Simple as that.

1. There is no way, at all, ever, that an Umbreon can beat a Tyranitar. It's just impossible. So don't even try to prove it.

That's not a reason, that's just ****-dribble,
How about we have a little match, I'll use 3 Umbreon’s, and you can use six Tyranitar’s. Pm me if you're game.

2. Tyranitar's Attack is higher than both of Umbreon's Defenses. Try again.

A meager 54 difference in stats, (considering Umbreon has decent HP) doesn't mean anything.
For a Tyranitar to beat an Umbreon it would have to be either;
-Faster, as to get off a taunt/sub before toxic takes effect. Or
-Holding CB, (a 2hko)

Actually state the reasons why it would lose,

Taunt from DDtar means Umbreon can't do **** while you DD up.

Taunt would come second, unless you have speed EVs.
This would be dependant on who is in play first.

If Umby taunts you first, then you still win by having offense.

Not true, if Umbreon gets the first taunt, it is able to Taunt\stall for a potential 40 rounds (Apply PP'ups turned off), the standard DDtar has 35pp worth of offensive-type moves.

*If toxic is applied on a switch-in, I'm quite sure the Tyranitar will be dead before 35 rounds are up.

*If the Umbreon is switched in and taunted, then your point is understandable.

Boah's subs make Umbreon worthless and you can focus punch it to death.

Again, this implies that the Umbreon is switched in on the turn a sub is placed. Otherwise It would poison the Tyran and the Umbreon could quite effectively stall until both are within (0-20%) or the TTar is dead)

Cbtar gets a free focus punch since any good Umbreon doesn't have any attacking moves

That's provided *Again* that the Umbreon is switched in, and still, there are no sub in place so nothing preventing Umbreon from fighting back.
And any good Umbreon would not die to a Tyranitar, let-alone switch in to a CB one.

 

[BasiltheDragon]

Tyranitar. He looks some-what decent, and he gets a high Attack, plus Dragon Dance.

 

[Conflagration]

Tyranitar owns. The second would be Houndoom.
