Honestly, guys, if you want to offer suggestions to the OP, power to you, but at least offer up some specific reasoning as to why you chose these kinds of things. For example, sure, Aggron might be seen as scary to one character or another, but one is also owned by Steven Stone, a canonical good guy. Just because you're gruff and a badass doesn't necessarily mean you're evil.
As for Darkrai, that's pretty much it. It looks evil, but it's not necessarily evil. Its movie proved that it can be good, whereas Mystery Dungeon proved that it could be bad. Therefore, Darkrai itself isn't evil; it's what the writers do with it that makes it swing one way or another. In other words, it's actually a prime example of what other people (the ones talking about figuring out the character based on personality and backstory instead of species) have been trying to say.
With that being said, you really can't judge a book by its cover, and for this reason, really any Pokémon can be villainous one way or another (as has been stated earlier). It's all about what you do with them -- who they are, why they're evil, what purposes they serve in the story, that sort of thing. Going about it on the level of working out who your villain is instead of what it is will help you develop believable characters with depth... or, in short, interesting characters. It will also make it easier to develop your story because you've practically worked out part of it just by trying to figure out who the antagonist is.
