Maybe Dark types are just far too strong to be in a gym and they have to be reserved for the Elite Four? ;D Although I'd be incredibly surprised if they don't have a Dark type gym soon, this is getting ridiculous now xD

So what do you think a Dark/Poison legendary would look/be like? o3o

While I do agree that Dark types ARE powerful, I hate to say (and I do hate saying this) that the Dragon type Pokemon are more powerful and they have 2 gyms and 2 Elite Four members. (Even if its the same guy.)

Now for the Legendary Dark/Poison type Pokemon. Color wise, I'd say Black and Purple. Black representing the Dark type and Purple representing the Poison type. As for size...I'd say about 5 to 7 feet tall and weighting in around 300 to 500 pounds. There's alot of huge Legendary Pokemon already, so a medium height and weight should be good enough. Designing it...well nothing comes to mind for me. Sorry.

mightyena and umbreon are the ones who made me love dark types then darkrai sold the whole thing dark types are so awseome i hope for more dark types
If you're gonna sign-up , please use a sign-up form. Thanks.

Do you think we'll get another Dark-type legendary?
I would love to see a Dark/Bug legendary or a Dark/Poison legendary. I don't think we have enough Dark type legendaries at present (because there's hardly any!) and despite Darkrai being incredibly cool, it is about time we got another. So I think a Dark/Poison legendary would be perfect; it'd have the potential to be something incredibly evil! It could range from being a huge hulking black beast spewing Poison and radiating dark aura with every step, or it could even be a tiny little ninja-like assassin of a Pokémon! But yeah, I certainly hope we do see more Dark type legendaries soon!
I agree with this completely, if it's gonna be a ninja Pokemon, it should be Dark/Poison since ninjas do use poisonous darts/ objects to attack enemies. And since we don't have a Pokemon based off a ninja yet, it would be different.

I think there's enough lower leveled Dark types now for a Dark specialist Gym leader to be possible.

And as I said above, I would want it to be based on a ninja so probably purple or blue skin and black robes.

Well there's only three Poison/Dark types , so not much reference, but there is some. I think it would look completely different from the other Dark/Poison Pokemon.

Oh wow this place is more active than it's usually is! Sorry , I keep forgetting to cheek in on this place. '^-^''

ZeganZoma and Trainer K if you haven't joined, please go ahead and do that now. Use the sign up form on the first post.


It looks like we've got a discussion already started without me.

So that said, the current topic is now:

What do you think a Dark/Poison Legendary Pokemon would look like? Please describe in details.

Hmmmm...guess I didn't go into much detail. My bad. Lets try this again.

Username: Zegan Zoma
What do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: I love them. They have awsome designs, great stats, and are very fun to use. They can also destory Ghost and Psychic types with ease, which is great for me since I hate fighting against those types.
Your partners: Bisharp
Which Types rule: Dark hands down.

What do you think a Dark/Poison Legendary Pokemon would look like? Please describe in details.

If we're going with the ninja look, then it'll have to be able to run, jump, and fight using hand-to-hand combat, so arms and legs are needed. It should also have a pouch or something along the lines of that to store items like needles, spike traps, or smoke bombs. Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Welcome to the club! I'll add you to the list asap.

How so? The ability Pickup in a way is similar to a pouch and Pokemon already hold items, so a Pokemon with a pouch would make it more convenient to hold item a trainer gives it.

I just updated the members list.

Seems empty.
I'm just gonna bump up my club here.
Ok new topic to make it more relevant. You can still answer the last topic, this is just too keep activity going.

What kind of moves do you think would a Dark/Poison legendary Pokemon type would have?

Well, to go with my ninja type Pokemon, I would say one move it could learn is Poison Jab. To me that seems very-ninja like. I also think Spikes or Toxic Spikes, cause they're very stealthy like moves. I think Dark Void , making it no longer Darkrai's signature move, but it could use it to put it foes to sleep sort of like a real ninja.

• What do you think a Dark/Poison Legendary Pokemon would look like? Please describe in details.(current topic)

This will be fun... Hmm... I'm thinking maybe a cross between a giant spider and a scorpion with 4-8 piercing red eyes with an attack like Dark Web, Dark-Type Power of 100, Accuracy of 95, PP of 15, Prevents escapes and has a 30% chance of severe poisoning...

Answer the current topic: Drapion is legendary enough to me.

Why is dark type restricted to the elite four? Why can't we have a dark type gym leader? NO WAIT! A dark type champion! a black cape would be completely epic and fitting! There's loads of cool pokemon for a team like that too! His strongest pokemon could be a darkrai since it's a pseudo legendary.

Hmm nevermind, I must've stayed up too late the night I posted that, but they do still share the same base stat total so I don't see any reason darkrai couldn't be in a champion team. But I don't see anything wrong with hydreigon.Maybe such a champion would use a team like:

Spiritomb
Drapion
Crawdaunt
Houndoom
Shiftry
Darkrai/Hydreigon

Yeah that seems like a good team, I personally would have an Umbreon, but that's just me.

New topic

Create a team for a Dark-Type Champion. In other words, what Pokemon you think a Dark-type Champion would have?

I'll have to think of my choices. You guys discuss first.

Oh man I love these topics xD

Create a team for a Dark-Type Champion. In other words, what Pokemon you think a Dark-type Champion would have?
In short: Spiritomb, Umbreon, Zoroark, Hydreigon, Drapion, Weavile; I chose these mainly because they're the strongest and most iconic Dark types that I can think of. Spiritomb's power is very well-known due to its huge resistances and tricky move sets, so that's a must on a Dark type team. Umbreon is probably the most iconic Dark type pokémon to date, boosting great stats and very interesting moves, it's a difficult Pokémon to beat. Zoroark pretty much encompasses the spirit of Dark types for me as it's the ultimate Pokémon of trickery with its moves and Imposter ability, and this is the main point of Dark type Pokémon, so it's the perfect Pokémon to add to the team. Hydreigon is obviously just a complete power house with huge coverage, so it's a must for any strong Dark team. Drapion was a slightly odd choice, but I feel like it's a pretty intimidating Pokémon even if it isn't necessarily that strong, so it fits in well for a champion to have one. And Weavile is another very iconic Dark type Pokémon that boasts some great stats/moves making it also a perfect addition to a Dark type team.

Can't wait to see more people's, that was fun x]

Create a team for a Dark-Type Champion. In other words, what Pokemon you think a Dark-type Champion would have?

Lead Pokemon:
Spiritomb w/ Infiltrator
-Shadow Punch
-Pursuit
-Will-O-Wisp
-Sucker Punch


Just like Cynthia, Spiritomb would always be that Pokemon with no weakness. Which can annoy you, due to its very tricky moveset. Spiritomb is a must have in ANY Ghost and Dark Mono-Party, without quesitons.

Offensive Pokemon:
Bisharp w/ Inner Focus
-Swords Dance
-Sucker Punch
-Brick Break
-X-Scissor

To keep the transition going, a Champion has had at LEAST one Pokemon with a 4x Weakness. Bisharp can be fairly deadly. Definitely not a disappointment when used correctly!

Defensive Pokemon:
Umbreon w/ Synchronize
-Toxic
-Protect
-Wish
-Payback

Umbreon is definitely considered as one of the top 5, top 3 possibly, among the world as fan favorites (Lucario, Charizard..definitely suitable for #3!). Because he's practically a brick wall, someone not to be taken lightly. Umbreon is also a must and can mess up your opponent's mind!

Deadly Pokemon:
Hydreigon w/ Levitate
-Dragon Pulse
-Fire Blast/U-Turn
-Surf
-Dark Pulse

When I had Hydreigon, I liked him to be full dead-on, offensive like no other, with it reaching its highest Special Attack. No different than here. The Champions each generation all used at least a Pseudo-Legendary, so here's another transition to keep it going. Not to mention Hydreigon is abosolutely, one of the best Pokemon around.

Bodyguard Pokemon:
Drapion w/ Battle Armor
-Toxic Spikes
-Crunch
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake

Dark type's two weaknesses, Fighting & Bug, will ease up against Darpion due to its Poison half. Drapion is also pretty bulky and has some threatening moves to go with. Drapion is an excellent choice.

Final Strike Pokemon:
Weavile w/ Pressure
-Swords Dance
-Night Slash
-Ice Punch
-Punishment

This Weavile would be one heck of a Pokemon to fend off. Its Speed and Physical Attack is drop dead amazing. Weavile is the one you want to keep alive at all cost for a huge advantage.
