  • O.K, my fav kind of Pokemon is 100% Dark. My fav Dark is Darkrai! But I still got questions on Darks. Why were they only discobered in Season 2. What makes them Dark? Anyways, all we talk about is Dark pokemon. Only Ghosts are exceptions.

  • They were put in season 2 because the writers didn't come up with them until then, with Steel types.

    If you only like 100% Dark types, you only like Darkrai, Mightyena, Poochyena, Umbreon, and Arceus with a Dark plate.

    But to be honest, your thread might not survive.

    This should be in the Pokémon General section, just to let you know.

    Dark types are my favorite, if only because of Tyranitar <3

  • Both. How do I make him strong.
    A Mixed set can be tricky...I'd recommend a Special Set, but alright.

    Houndoom @ Shed Shell
    Mild; 200 Atk, 100 SpAtk, 210 Spe
    Flash Fire

    Crunch
    Flamethrower
    Thunder Fang
    Hidden Power Ice

    Meh...Crunch and Thunder Fang to throw off Special Walls. Flamethrower as STAB attack of choice. HP Ice hits Ground and Dragon. Shed Shell lets him retreat faster to prepare a counterattack; it also allows more freedom when switching.

  • You really know your Darks, huh? Final Question. How to make my Darkrai Strong.
    Not really; I use Smogon as a diving board and tweak the sets according to what I think is good. =3

    Darkrai @ Life Orb/Leftovers
    Naive; 180 Atk, 180 SpAtk, 150 Spe
    Bad Dreams

    Dark Pulse
    Dark Void
    Focus Punch
    Subsitute

    Dark Void puts 'em to sleep. Then, use Subsitute to set up a wall. Focus Punch the next Pokemon, or Focus Punch the sleeping Pokemon if it hasn't woken up yet. Dark Pulse can be used for mopping up foes or to hit Pokemon immune to Focus Punch. Leftovers for better stalling or Life Orb for a meaner hit. Take your pick. =3

    [QUOITE=Lord Yawgmoth]Dark is rather cool, though I wish Dark-types other then Tyranitar would be stonger.[/QUOTE]
    No offense to you, but Tyranitar isn't the only 'strong' Dark Pokemon. All Dark Pokemon have special skills to link to their 'hybrid' abilities. Like for say, I have a Houndoom, I would probably go with something like this:

    Houndoom :::
    - Flamethrower
    - Protect
    - Iron Tail/Crunch (depends on the person really. I, myself, like Crunch better because it gives a vareity of effective hits)
    - Strength
