A dark type champion would most likely have pokemon who are high in their evolutions as well as strength, so the most formidable pokemon in my opinion would be Hydreigon, Zoroark, and everybody's favorite: Umbreon.

Good team! I think my choices would be

Spiritomb (Lead Pokemon)
Umbreon lv 45-55 (wall)
Scrafty lv 45-55 (defensive)
Hydreigon lv 49-60 (Psuedo and deadly sweeper)
Weaville lv 49 -60 (physical attacker)
Tyrannitar lv 53- 60 (Strongest/Finishing Pokemon and tank)

Yeah that's good I guess.

Great topic! I added to the list of current topics.

Here's what my moveset would be
Dark Pulse
Dark Void
Shadow Ball
Nasty Plot

Probably not the best, but it's what I would use.

Hey, I'd like to join!
Username: LightningAlex
What do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: Almost all Dark Pokemon have an awesome design, and they're powerful, too! So there's nothing bad I can say about dark types, really.
Your partners: (Up to two): Zoroark & Absol
What Types rule: Dark, electric, dragon, ghost & ice types are the best!
Answer the current topic: Well, I have never played any 4 or 5 generation games, so I can't really answer the current topic about Darkrai.... Sorry.

All I can say is that Dark-Types rule, so Darkrai rules, too!

Uh, okay, I'll do the one before this one:
Create a team for a Dark-Type Champion. In other words, what Pokemon you think a Dark-type Champion would have?
It's a rather interesting topic, really. I've always imagined someone with these Pokemon:
Umbreon - It's the first Dark Pokemon, it's awesome, cute, powerful, a dark champ should have one.

Absol - Absol maybe isn't the strongest Dark Pokemon, but it has an awesome design. Wouldn't want the champ to have bad-looking Pokemon, right?

Houndoom - Obviously it's hard to become champ with only one type in your team, so a Dark/Fire type is a great addition to the dark champ's team.

Hydreigon - Maybe not the coolest Dark Pokemon (IMO), but it's a dragon! Dragon's are powerful and well-suited for a champ.

Mandibuzz - The champ has to fly around, too. And what better way to do it than with a strong Dark/Flying Pokemon?

Zoroark - Of course, the (IMO) best Dark-type Pokemon. A dark champ must have this one!

Welcome to the club Alex! In a way you did answer the topic, so that answer is acceptable. I understand if you have never play a 4 or 5 gen game.

I would like to join the club, Dark types are my top favorite type.

Username: Mithel_Celestia
What do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: most of the Dark type pokemon designs are very cool, the type itself is very mysterious and that is what I love about them.
Your partners: main partner, and battler, A Mightyena going by the name "Karimlan"(which means "darkness" in tagalog.), a second partner, if I have to choose, is a Zoroark, no special name though, but I like it. the moment they introduced it, i knew it was born for greatness XD.

What Types rule: Dark is at the very top, very mischievous and annoys the filling out of others.

Answer the current topic:
Basically, a region's lack of Dark-Type Gyms may be due to some of their move's annoyance and unfairness, if you say it like that, Taunt prevents status moves, Torment restricts the moves used, Payback reaches a base Power of 100, just by falling behind of the others.

That may be one of the reasons Dark type specialist are one of the Elite Four, however, Dark Gyms may be made to be a little easier, just for the the main storyline; or,
It could be made into a post-storyline Gym, no one said that every Regions must only have 8 Gyms, Gary even has 10 badges in the early season of the anime and Barry has some Badges that aren't even in the games.

The Idea of post-storyline Gyms in a game sounds cool and may give someone something to do after defeating the Champion, like HGSS.

I would want to join this club, as Dark Types are in a tie for my most favourite type.

Username: Umbr30n (Although I usually get called "Arron" in PMs, which is my real name).
What do you think of Dark Type Pokemon: I think it is a really cool Type and that it is one of the most Real Types (What I mean is, what they do) since they lurk around at night.
Your Partners: An Umbreon going by the name "Shadow" and a Tyranitar going by the name "Arron".

What Types Rule: Dark is in a tie with Fire and Dragon for the best. Although, in most occasions, Dark Types Rule.

Answering the current topic: I think there are no Dark Gym Leaders because of the combination of Taunt + Sucker Punch, which makes Sucker Punch an always hitting move for a set amount of turns. Plus they are VERY powerful with other combinations such as Curse + Payback, or even other combinations such as Pursuit + Roar.

Plus they can have an Umbreon with these moves:

-Mean Look.
-Dark Pulse.
-Rest.
-Toxic.
=Win.

Great names. This is a sort of late response welcome to the club!

Why do you think a Dark-type Gym Leader doesn't exist yet and do you think there's gonna be one in Gen VI?
Hopefully, it's long overdue. >:( It would be interesting to see what gym design it has too.

Create a team for a Dark-Type Champion. In other words, what Pokémon you think a Dark-type Champion would have?
My team line-up would be Houndoom, Drapion, Honchkrow, Tyranitar, Krookodile, and Hydriegon, preferably in that order.

I think having two pseudo-legendaries (Tyranitar and Hydriegon) would be epic, hahaha.

Make the best moveset for Darkrai.
I might not be the best moveset strategist out there, but I'm gonna try. X)
Dark Void, Nightmare, Nasty Plot, Dream Eater.

Hmmm...Darkrai moveset, every darkrai seems to have, at least, a sleep-inducing move, nightmare and Dream Eater. Its very hard to make very original moveset really. Anyway, I'll think up mine:

Dark Void
Nightmare
Dream Eater
Dark Pulse?

Sorry if this may seem...very...unoriginal, but its hard ok, making original movesets. i tried my best.

@Mithel_Celestia: I believe that's a GREAT moveset, especially with Dark Pulse, as it would need a strong move like that. As for Dark Void, I really don't know what that move does (You see, I don't play Gen V Games) but it should be a good addition to it.

Scraggy/Scrafty are definitely my least favorite Dark-type Pokemon! It's design is horrible - some skinny lizard-like creature with oversized pants. Nothing about Scraggy/Scrafty looks "dark", meaning not one feature of their appearance makes them look like a Dark-type Pokemon.

Sorry to all the Scraggy/Scrafty fans out there, but IMO this Pokemon is one of the worst!

No offense, since the previous topic is about it, but i disliked Darkrai, mainly design XD. Another is Scrafty and Scraggy, but i've grown on them.

I don't really like the Mightyena line because I thought there should be another evolution to it XD. Maybe also because of it's moveset, which should have more Types of Moves, and maybe they should add some more design to it. Still, it's got a cool design otherwise, but it still is quite a good Pokemon.
