What do you guys think?

Also that's a cool figurine! Where'd you get it? :D

Oh yes, a werewolf mega for Mightyena would be amazing! Maybe it could go up on its two legs and be Dark/Fighting?

Thanks! Got it at Superstore (basically a Canadian market type of thing) a while ago (10 years ago? I don't remember). The eyes glow in the dark too! I have a Poochyena but not sure where it went.

Dedenne1 January 30th, 2015 3:24 AM

Hmm maybe I'll choose umbreon hehe
Anyways wow cool figure! Id say where did u get that but Aslan beat me :P im gonna have to go on ebay now haha!
Wow a mega mighteyena is already cool and with a wear wolf design that would be so cool! Would give him the boost he needs and would probably look like one of the best Megas ever! It is such an intimidating pokemon thats probs why it has that ability along with moxie i wonder what its new ability would be maybe one that lowers the foes attack 2x?

Wicked3DS January 31st, 2015 6:04 AM

Umbreon would be cool, Eveelutions are always welcome here :P

Pendraflare January 31st, 2015 6:33 AM

Sharpedo perhaps? Possibly for one a little more original than Umbreon or Absol? I mean I do like those two, but Sharpedo could use a bit more attention. :P

Anyway, sadly I never used Mightyena seriously at all, he looks alright and wouldn't be out of place with a Mega to boost its stats. Sorry for not being more detailed...

Featured Dark Type Of the Week!
http://i58.*.com/n1tly9.jpg
Umbreon, The Moonlight Pokémon. When exposed to the moon's aura, the rings on its body glow faintly and it gains a mysterious power. When agitated, this Pokémon protects itself by spraying poisonous sweat from its pores. When darkness falls, the rings on the body begin to glow, striking fear in the hearts of anyone nearby. It lurks in darkness and waits for its foes to move. The rings on its body glow when it leaps to attack.

Since majority wanted umbreon plus i love eevee evolutions i chose him but others will be soon in the future next week i picked a special one already! Hint: its a hoenn dark type!

Here i will go in depth on pics, stats, design, and a lot of other things so take a look!

Arts and design:

Arts:



Statistics, Ability, Moveset and Such:
Spoiler:

Ability:
Synchronize: When this Pokémon becomes Poisoned, Paralyzed, or Burned, so does the opponent. However, Fire-type and Water Veil ability Pokémon cannot be Burned, Poison-type and Steel-type and Immunity ability Pokémon cannot be Poisoned, and Limber ability Pokémon cannot be Paralyzed.
Hidden Ability (Available):
Inner Focus: This Pokémon will not flinch. Does not prevent flinching with Focus Punch.

Moveset:
Overall moveset is not great, although it is more a physical attacker and learns more physical moves it can be used as a Special Attacker with the right tms.

Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm/Adamant Nature
- Wish
- Taunt/Moonlight/Curse

I myself have never used him but this is generally an ok moveset. I did sub in some other moves that ik have worked well in the last though feel free to tell me your moveset as well and I'll add it!

Special Attack: 60
Special Defense: 130
Speed: 65

Weaknesses:

3) Would you use him in competitive battling?
4) Do you overall like, love, or hate him? Why?
5) Did you ever use him in game? What region?
6) OU or UU?

Umbreon's look--I feel I'm more fond of its shiny form than normal, to be honest.

Although its original one is nice, the reason its shiny stands out to me is eye color. In original, they are both red, which I find to be slightly freaky, especially since it's combined with Umbreon's overall dark body-color. Not only this, but shiny Umbreon also has neon stripes, which I find to be unique.

Competitively, I've used it a couple of times, and it seemed to have been decent. Its defenses are huge, which allow it to withstand some hits before being taken down. While it's doing so, it has chance to set up some stat boosts, which it could pass off to teammates by utilizing Baton Pass.

Firstly i think it would be a Great Wall on a dark type mono plus it is a good baton passer! And i do agree completely on the shiny form being better thats why i always use my shiny umbreon heheh.

New topic is going up on tuesday comeon guys everyone rooted for umbreon haha what else do u guys think of him?

Aslan February 2nd, 2015 1:25 AM

Umbreon's cool! Not my style of play but it's overall a really nice pokemon, design and otherwise. Though honestly, it wasn't that good as an in-game team member. During my first playthrough of HG, I had used an Umbreon only to realise that at the end, it was only there to make my team cooler. So I can't say I've ever treated one particularly well, haha. ;____;

That being said, it is still one of my favourite eeveelution designs. I'd just rather not use it as a battler if that makes sense.

Also,

If Umbreon wasn't an eeveelution, I'd definitely go for the dark/poison here! Its already been done with Skuntank and Drapion but I still like the typing a lot. Maybe they could do a dark type with a similar idea to Umbreon's rings?

Overall, it doesn't look as fearful as its pokedex entry makes it out to be. If anything, it looks like a cat that roams the streets in the moonlight, searching for food. I guess it can be seen as intimidating with its blood red eyes but other than that, it's not actually too scary. Absol's like Umbreon in a sense - since both seem to have the same shade of eyes, alongside an innocent but destructive feel to them.

Dedenne1 February 3rd, 2015 11:24 AM

Alright so i do have the new topic i actually have more than 40 planned for the future lol but here's the current one and friday will hold the normal POTW also i am stuck on a couple feel free to tell me which ones of these you'd like to see in your response :D
Weavile
Bisharp
Krookodile
Sharpedo


And the current topic:
Do you think there should be a starter Pokemon that's part Dark? If you do which of the three starter types you think would work best with a Dark typing? If not, explain why.

Ya so i thought we'd go in depth on this one i personally enjoy the question and im interested in everyone elses opinions :D

Reason you love dark types: they're great in-game and i love their designs.
3 partner pokemon: Nyx which is the name of my Umbreon
Answer any current topic:
As of 6th gen Fairy-type is now super effective against Dark types while Steel loses it's resistances against Dark along with Ghost. What are your thoughts on all of the changes? How do you think it will affect the Dark type and all dark type pokemon competitively?Will it improve it or make it worse?

I believe it's quite balanced now, especially after steel lost it's resistance against dark.
Dark types were always great in-game and competitively and i doubt it'll change anytime soon.

Welcome Google 2.0! Feel free to answer the new current topic i posted a little while before you! Also you can choose 3 partner pokemon not just 1 haha

faf February 3rd, 2015 7:11 PM

Oops, almost missed the PotW!
But Umbreon! Probably my favourite Eeveelution because of its sleek and simple design and back in the day, it was so reliable. It's a good UU mon just not in OU due to Clefable/Sylveon being better clerics. I even have a onesie + three plushies of it~

Do you think there should be a starter Pokemon that's part Dark? If you do which of the three starter types you think would work best with a Dark typing? If not, explain why.
Greninja exists. :P But would I see more? Of course! Maybe we could have a Fire/Dark goat and a Grass/Dark wolf; I can see the Dark typings work well with the animals.

For PotW, Bisharp would be cool.

Google2.0 February 4th, 2015 2:48 AM

@Dedenne1: I know, but i'll stay with just Umbreon, thanks.

Do you think there should be a starter Pokemon that's part Dark? If you do which of the three starter types you think would work best with a Dark typing? If not, explain why.

Well like Zinnia said, Greninja already exists but of course i would love to see more.
@Zinnia: we already have a fire/ psychic fox, actually 2 of them (Ninetales counts?)
I really would love to see a grass /dark wolf or something like that.

For Potw:
Weavile

Ik Greninja exists i guess i should have added that haha. Im thinking along the lines of what u said for the other types and if you weren't completely in love with Greninja maybe a different one that could showcase the typing. Ohhh i like the fire dark goat! Like flaming horns? ️Haha. And the grass wolf i can see with a grassy fur pelt those are reall good answers!

Thats fine haha.

I dont think we have a grass and dark ummmm fire and dark its only Houndoom i believe so if we did have these type of starters it would be pretty cool!

Aslan February 4th, 2015 4:50 AM

Do you think there should be a starter Pokemon that's part Dark? If you do which of the three starter types you think would work best with a Dark typing? If not, explain why.

Dark type starters would be popular with kids and adults so sure, why not? We've already seen a water/dark with Greninja being introduced so I'd suggest holding the same typing off for a while. People don't really want a repeat of three fire fightings in a row after all. But yeah, I'd actually go for the grass wolf since it seems like an original idea that could be fun to work with. What would it look like though? Are we going for the Mightyena sort of approach or something completely new?

It's a fun one though, that's for sure. I'd love to have a forest wolf on my team and I'm sure a lot of other people would too!

Fire/dark on the other hand, also sounds awesome. Though we'd have to be careful if we went for dogs or foxes as they could be seen as ripoffs. Fire/dark cats anybody? :D

faf February 4th, 2015 6:54 AM

@Google- Where did I say there should be a fox starter? I've never mentioned a fox in my post. :P
@Dedenne- Fiery horns would be epic actually! And a grass pelt would be nice for the wolf~
@Aslan- You did mention we shouldn't go overboard with clones of previous Pokemon so I was thinking the wolf should be different than Mightyena. Maybe it could be based of a red wolf? :D
Fire/Dark cat would be epic! Maybe based of a maine coon called "Flamecoon"? ;)
*Zinnia is booed offstage*

Wicked3DS February 4th, 2015 7:38 AM

Another dark-type starter would be pretty cool, I'm a big fan of Greninja these days thanks to SSB Wii U and I don't think it would be too redundant yet see Emboar and Infernape.

Reason you love dark types: They're cool, they offer good strategies, and Sableye is one of them.
3 partner pokemon: Sableye, Scrafty and Cacturne.

Starter dark thing

I think it'd be cool, though as it's already been said, I'd rather they held off from water/dark for a while. What would be cool would be a sort of reverse-efficacy wheel going on with the type advantages, like Fire-Dark, Grass-Fight and Water-Psychic or something.

I meant, there's already a psychic /fire fox so a dark wolf would be some sort of counterpart.
Sorry, my mistake, i'll be more clear next time.

Firstly although there is a couple i think of dark and water im not exactly in its favor i rather see more grass and dark and fire in dark since i believe we only have cacturne, shiftry, and Houndoom and Houndoom is the only one that speaks to me haha. And omg yes fire and dark cats plzzzz. Id see it as a fox mixed with a wolf for grass probs though :D

Ive seen a fakemon that was fire and dark but it was a goat but i found it cool with the flaming horns hehe. Fox+Wolf=Mega awesome dark type starter haha it would be so cute then be powerful! Yay! Lol flamecoon haha.

Hey briv welcome! I like your picks for your partners Sableye is actually gonna be in an upcoming topic soon so we can discuss him and Scrafty is awesome. Im not super pleased with cacturne yet im trying him in AS but hes not great with the moveset sadly. Thats kinda what i had in mind actually thats what i based the question off of i saw a wheel of the fake starters and that was it so im like that would be kinda cool right? And that would be pretty awesome in my opinion!
Anyways enjoy the club!

Um POTW Is still on friday and i still want imput so for those of u who havent feel free to put one of these in your response as POTW.

Weavile
Bisharp
Krookodile
Sharpedo


And if u like which typing youd most anticipate? Water/Dark, Fire/Dark or Grass/Dark. :D

It's Briv.

Pendraflare February 4th, 2015 6:09 PM

Well we already have Greninja, and that does an alright job at being a Water/Dark-type, given it's a ninja Pokémon. And since Dark-types are meant to play with sneaky tactics, that fits what a ninja is meant to be.

And I vote Sharpedo for next PotW.

Dedenne1 February 6th, 2015 11:51 AM


Featured Dark Type Of the Week!
http://i59.*.com/swaerp.png
Bisharp, The Sword Blade Pokémon. It leads a group of Pawniard. It battles to become the boss, but will be driven from the group if it loses. Bisharp pursues prey in the company of a large group of Pawniard. Then Bisharp finishes off the prey.This pitiless Pokémon commands a group of Pawniard to hound prey into immobility. It then moves in to finish the prey off.

Majority was bisharp plus it mixes 2 great types!

Here i will go in depth on pics, stats, design, and a lot of other things so take a look!

Arts and design:
Arts where left out for today cause im busy plus who needs to explain how awesome bisharp looks?

Statistics, Ability, Moveset and Such:
Spoiler:

Ability:
Defiant: Attack is raised by two stages when the Pokémon has its stats lowered. Doesn't work on self inflicted stat drops or drops from allies
Inner Focus: This Pokémon will not flinch. Does not prevent flinching with Focus Punch.
Hidden Ability (Available):
Pressure: When this Pokémon is hit by a move, the opponent’s PP lowers by 2 rather than 1.

Moveset:
I love the moveset it matches the typing nicely and does focus on his bulky attack and kinda matches his real power!

Recommended competitive moveset:

Bisharp @ Choice Band
Ability: Defiant
Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Speed/ 4 Def
- Knock Off
- Iron Head
- Sucker Punch
-Pursuit/X-Scissor

I have used this and with experience it works well eventhough i dont love using choice band on him i usually do sub out that item but with it knockoff does great damage, sucker punch as we all know is a great move and iron head takes car of them fairies and ground and rock types. I use x-scissor instead if pursuit personally but you can also utilize swords dance, pursuit, or protect even.

Stats:
Speed is average but all i have to say is THAT ATTACK STAT! Quite powerful as you can see with choice band and other power upping moves this guy is quite the force to be reckoned with.
Base Stats:
Hp: 65
Attack: 125
Defense: 100
Special Attack: 60
Special Defense: 70
Speed: 70

Weaknesses:
Fighting: x4
Fire x2
Ground x2


Discussion questions:
1) These are optional discussing other things other than these makes it more fun!
2) What is your opinion on his overall look?
3) Would you use him in competitive battling?
4) Do you overall like, love, or hate him? Why?
5) Did you ever use him in game? What region?
6) I see most people by past discussions would love to see a mega for him if you didnt partake in that discussion chime in what would it look like? Would you utilize its mega? What stats would be increased and are there any decreased?
7) Do you see him as a soldier in any way?
8) Did you notice him and parfum palace and what did you think about his golden statues?

Google2.0 February 7th, 2015 10:12 AM

I'm not a huge fan of Bisharp but i did use him twice in my B/W runs.
Worked out pretty good.

Skyxyd February 8th, 2015 3:53 AM

Zoroark is the best dark Pokemon with his (or her, like the 13th movie) illusions

Wicked3DS February 8th, 2015 8:58 PM

I've never used Bisharp due to my lack of Gen V play, but I do like it. It's got a great design, good stats, and a good movepool to take adavntage of them.

Dedenne1 February 10th, 2015 3:30 AM

I myself have always loved bisharp hes a very cool poke plus i love his typing and on a dark type mono he does great for me especially with that powerful attack stat. His typing is also great to although the 4x fighting weakness he is good at taking out fairies! Anyways time for a new topic oh and remember you guys can start a topic of your own on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays if i dont!

What Dark type Pokemon do you think should have an evolution, another evolution or a pre-evolution?

I thought it was pretty fun :) i dont think we did this one yet so discuss away!

Pendraflare February 10th, 2015 6:32 AM

Hope it's not too late for me to discuss Bisharp; I was going to but last night it was late so I think this will be feasible.

What is your opinion on his overall look?
Really cool, I like how he's designed a lot although the swords on his thin inner structure are a bit unusual.

Would you use him in competitive battling?
I don't really battle competitively but maybe, there are a few fights i've seen him in.

Do you overall like, love, or hate him? Why?
I like him. He's flawed for a couple reasons (including taking forever to evolve, not to mention that glaring 4x weakness to Fighting), but he has great Attack and STAB Sucker Punch which can hit pretty hard. Not to mention that sneaky Defiant ability...

Did you ever use him in game? What region?
Yes, I used it in my Red Mono-Color that I did on Pokémon Y back in April of last year. It came late in the game because I got it in a trade from Snowbelle City for a Jigglypuff, but there were a couple fights there that it helped in, not to mention it gained boosted EXP.

I see most people by past discussions would love to see a mega for him if you didnt partake in that discussion chime in what would it look like? Would you utilize its mega? What stats would be increased and are there any decreased?
Possibly, if it had more Speed, and maybe some extra (Special) Defense to go alongside it. And ditch some Special Attack, that doesn't serve any purpose.

Do you see him as a soldier in any way?
Yes, his nature of being a pawn fits that.

Did you notice him and parfum palace and what did you think about his golden statues?
Yeah, I did notice the golden statues from the Parfum Palace. It kind of made sense when I thought about it, because Bisharp is kind of meant to be a pawn so its representing nobility was a good addition to a royal palace like that.

Dedenne1 February 14th, 2015 7:29 AM


Featured Dark Type Of the Week!
http://i57.*.com/a2rded.png
Sharpedo, The Brutal Pokémon. Nicknamed "the bully of the sea," Sharpedo is widely feared. Its cruel fangs grow back immediately if they snap off. Just one of these Pokémon can thoroughly tear apart a supertanker. Sharpedo can swim at speeds of up to 75 mph by jetting seawater out of its backside. This Pokémon's drawback is its inability to swim long distances. Its fangs rip through sheet iron.

We can mix it up with one of the hoenn pokes who just got a new mega!

Here i will go in depth on pics, stats, design, and a lot of other things so take a look!

Arts and design:
http://i61.*.com/qn7ia9.png
http://i57.*.com/r228fr.png
http://media.pldh.net/dreamworld/319.png

Statistics, Ability, Moveset and Such:
Spoiler:

Ability:
Rough Skin: The opponent is hurt by 1/16th of his maxium Hit Points of recoil when using an attack, that requires physical contact, against this Pokémon.
Hidden Ability (Available):
Speed Boost: Speed increases by one stage at the end of each turn.

Recommended competitive moveset:

Sharpedo @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 104 SpA / 152 Spe
Naughty Nature
- Protect
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Ice Beam

I have never used this set although i may in the future his ability works good with protect ice beam could be changed to an alternative better move and evs could be put in speed more or defense/hp if needed.

Stats:
Pretty good attack stat is nice and high and speed is above average
Base Stats:
Hp: 70
Attack: 120
Defense: 40
Special Attack: 95
Special Defense: 40
Speed: 95

Weaknesses:
Fighting: x2
Bug x2
Grass x2
Electric x2
Fairy x2

Arts:
http://media.pldh.net/sugimori/mega/319.png
http://media.pldh.net/dreamworld/319-mega.png

Stat Changes:
Attack: +20=140
Defense: +30=70
Special Attack: +15=110
Special Defense: +25=65
Speed: +10=105

Ability Changes
Strong Jaw: Increases the power of biting moves by 50%

+100 total in stat changes. Mainly in attack and defense which makes him able to actually take some hits and one hit KO some pokes.

Recommended Competitive Moveset:
Sharpedo @ Sharpedoite
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Protect
- Crunch
- Hydro Pump/ Waterfall
- Ice Fang/Zen Headbutt/Skull Bash
Whichever suits your liking mostly. Its good to use protect if you have speed boost then mega evolve it. Plus crunch is powered up along with ice fang but skull bash is a good substitute for upped defense and such. I would actually recommend him on a double battle team as well.

Discussion questions:
1) These are optional discussing other things other than these makes it more fun!
2) What is your opinion on his overall look?
3) Would you use him in competitive battling?
4) Do you overall like, love, or hate him? Why?
5) Did you ever use him in game in Hoenn?
6) Did you like his mega or would you change it in any way?

Also feel free to answer the newest current topic!

What Dark type Pokemon do you think should have an evolution, another evolution or a pre-evolution?
I actually think none of them need an extra evolution form. The only Pokémon I think is suitable for an evolution in Sableye, but I got a Mega already, so that won't fit anymore.

Wicked3DS February 15th, 2015 10:12 AM

Sharpedo is pretty awesome, I used it back in my Ruby days. It's a bit of a glass cannon as it's got terrible defenses, but it's still powerful and gets the job done. I haven't gotten to use Mega Sharpedo due to lack of Alpha Sapphire, but maybe I can acquire one soon.

Somebody trade me one hint hint.

Pendraflare February 19th, 2015 5:57 PM

Well...i've never used Sharpedo competitively, but I do like its Mega. Its design on its own i'm not too thrilled about but its Mega got a nice boost and looks cooler. I have used it in RSE a few times before, although its lack of Defenses are a bit underwhelming. The Mega Evolution boosted those a bit but it's still not quite formidable with them.

Lycanthropy February 20th, 2015 10:18 AM

POTW: Sharpedo
I have never used Sharpedo, because I mostly play in Gen III, in which it is pretty useless because of the move split. It would probably be of good use in later generation games excelling at both speed and attack.
Looking at it's design, I think it's good. It's a weird combination a shark and a torpedo, but I like the randomness. But this makes it quite weird looking from the backside, without a tail. I have a Sharpedo Pokémon card on which the artwork falsely shows a tail. I don't know if that's done on purpose.

EDIT: I found an image of the card.

Dedenne1 February 21st, 2015 12:21 PM

Wow all great answers! I myself have never used sharpedo before but i do like its mega plus its great with speed boost which thanks to archer i now plan on using it on showdown ;)
Anyways i thought we'd skip POTW this week and move on to a different topic :D
Which Generation of Pokemon do you think introduced the best Dark types so far?In my opinion i loved the dark types in gen 3 by far the most b/c of absol and sableye thats my pick :)

Pendraflare March 3rd, 2015 5:36 AM

Which Generation of Pokemon do you think introduced the best Dark types so far?

I have to give it to Generation V - not being a bias here what with it being my favorite generation, but they really had some strong ones in the mix here with Bisharp, Krookodile, Hydreigon, Scrafty, Mandibuzz and Zoroark. All of which are really cool and have their own separate uses. Even if they're not as good now with the Fairy-types being introduced (especially Hydreigon and Scrafty), all of them are still super cool.

3rd generation. Absol. Hands Down. I love that Pokemon, also 5th gen with Bisharp.

Haha yes Absol is amazing and Gen 3 and 5 seem to have the best due to absol and bisharp i also love zoroark and krookodile!

Yes by far The intro of zoroark krookodile and bisharp was amazing the others are not my favs but Mandibuzz is a good battler along with hydreigon being very powerful!

Alright so why dont we make a new topic since this one seems alittle dry:
If you could have any Dark-type in real life which one would you have and why?
I like this topic and ill answer first!
Zoroark! Firstly not only can it make itself look like any pokemon but it can transform into people! How cool is that! Plus its powerful and about as tall or taller than a human and it travels on 2 legs! Plus i kinda wanna feel its coat haha it looks so fluffy and soft!
Anyways discuss feel free to go into as much or as little detail as possible!

faf March 3rd, 2015 6:33 PM

Sorry for the inactivity!
@Bisharp- Sleek design, extremely reliable in battle and the typing is nice.
@Gen- Also saying 5; Scrafty alone makes Gen 5 the best for Dark types, Hydreigon is one of my favourites and everything else is all amazing (who doesn't love a trickster leopard, a crocodile with built in shades, a fox that can disguise into anything, a power ranger that also looks like something from Mega Man and a bird with bones).
@IRL- Definitely Scrafty, I've always wanted a pet lizard + it's my favourite.

Wicked3DS March 4th, 2015 2:55 PM

If you could have any Dark-type in real life which one would you have and why?

Houndoom would make a pretty loyal pet and is a great battler, so it has a lot going for it, not to mention that it's a Fire-type so it gets bonus points :P

Honorable mention to Umbreon, who I would probably choose if I was looking strictly for a pet.

Hiatus March 5th, 2015 12:30 PM

If you could have any Dark-type in real life which one would you have and why?
I'd have to go with Scrafty on this one.

If Pokémon had existed in real life, I likely would have been a serious battler, more or less (as I find myself battling a lot online competitively), and would be finding myself utilizing Scrafty a lot. Thanks to one of Scrafty's abilities, Moxie, it becomes much, much more easy to take opposing Pokémon down, making things a piece of cake.

Aside from above, another Pokémon I would consider having is Absol. Although it might not have much good battling capabilities, it still has a very nice appearance overall, which is a major reason behind my likeness towards it.

Hikamaru March 8th, 2015 4:46 AM

If you could have any Dark-type in real life which one would you have and why?

I'd love a Zorua. Cute and badass all in one, and can pretty much pretend to be anything that it's not, making it a great way to fool your friends!

Google2.0 March 10th, 2015 10:23 AM

If you could have any Dark-type in real life which one would you have and why?

That's easy, Umbreon of course because it's my favorite pokemon.

Dedenne1 March 10th, 2015 3:26 PM

Alright so ive been having those stupid wifi issues so i was gonna make a biomothly pokemon of the week on friday but we will wait...

So for now a new topic maybe?
If you could make any (existing/current) Pokemon part Dark what would it be and why?


Also i loved everyones answers especially zorua! Hehe
Honorable mention for me would probably be umbreon and absol as theyd be great to have in real life i mean who wouldnt want an absol following them? You'd just look cool all day! Haha. And umbreon would make a great pet and its cute! (Plus it can shoot Shadowballs at people if needed and bite everything in sight haha)

Reason you love dark types: Umbreon has always been a favorite of mine ever sense I knew of him. Another reason why I love dark types is just how over powering they can be come! (Think of an Umbreon with the following moves; Confuse Ray, Double Team, Baton Pass, Bite or Faint Attack)
3 partner pokemon: Umbreon, Greninja, Houndoom

Which pokemon would I want to make dark..?
Maybe a Dark Rayquaza? I mean, who wouldn't want to see a dark Rayquaza? He would be so more powerful than he already is!

Pendraflare March 12th, 2015 3:32 PM

Which Pokémon would I want to make part Dark-type? Probably Luxray or Arcanine, as those two can learn specific Dark-type attacks. Not to mention the former has some shades of black, or dark blue, all over itself. And maybe if the latter got a Mega Evolution they could give it the Dark-type to benefit those moves. But the former surely looks like something that could use that type and fit it sensibly.

Wicked3DS March 12th, 2015 9:09 PM

If you could make any (existing/current) Pokemon part Dark what would it be and why?

I'd have to choose Luxray. It's color scheme screams Dark-type and it gets Crunch and would benefit greatly from getting STAB with it. Honorable mention to Garchomp because Dragon/Dark is a cool type combination, even if those dumb fairies get a huge advantage :P

Also may I throw a new topic?
If there would ever be a Dark-Type gym and gym leader, what theme do you think would fit it?
I was thinking on what a dark-type gym would look like and it came to me: It could be Biker's Garage with the gym trainers being the gymleader's crew or Bikers waiting for their bikes to get repaired. The gym leader would be a Biker Mechanic (if couldn't guess)

Luxray forever! Thats something i always thought it needed maybe a mega would give it s
To him and Arcanine is possible but i think id only see it with a mega in that typing.

See Luxray just gives off that vibe about being a dark type along with electric i think its, its black mane and coloring! And its physical features on its face make it out to be one scary pokemon!

Welcome welcome. Welcome! I'll add u ASAP to the member list! And omg u made a new topic like thank u! Haha! Nice question btw ill answer in a sec!

Ok so firstly to the old topic i would obviously make Luxray dark and electric its just so fitting in my eyes! Ok so current topic is Mithels topic...

If there would ever be a Dark-Type gym and gym leader, what theme do you think would fit it?
I agree on the biker garage as that would be cool i could also see it being an abandoned building maybe an old power plant thats deserted and hardly runs something like that! Dark is kinda hard to do with themes but i could also see it coenciding with Roxie's theme from unova as like a dark band idk just a thought haha. Anyways discuss oh and sorry for any inactivity internet issues :/ but im back!!!!

Welcome back Dedenne.

If there would ever be a Dark-Type gym and gym leader, what theme do you think would fit it?

An abandoned building could work but it fits ghost types more.
Maybe some sort of maze, similar to the gym on Dewford island. The gym leader could run some sort of 'dog' theme, having Houndoom, Mightyena, Umbreon, Absol?

A dark maze theme sounds like neat idea, too. I had a similar idea with an illusion-themed gym where you have to go through rooms in sequence or you get tossed back to the start. the gym trainers may even give you tips to accomplishing it.

Lycanthropy March 28th, 2015 3:44 AM

If there would ever be a Dark-Type gym and gym leader, what theme do you think would fit it?
I see the Gym Leader being some sort of mysterious person wearing a long black coat and a black hat or a typical secret agent wearing a tuxedo. As for the Gym itself: to the former a maze filled with obscuring mist would fit, for the latter something with a lot of switches and moving doors.

Although bikers as trainer class tended to use only poison types in the earlier games, I totally see the fit with the dark type. The Gym could be a stunt course or something.

Dedenne1 March 28th, 2015 6:56 PM


Featured Dark Type Of the Week!
http://i57.*.com/24vru4k.png
Tyranitar, The Armor Pokémon. If it rampages, it knocks down mountains and buries rivers. Maps must be redrawn afterward. Its body can't be harmed by any sort of attack, so it is very eager to make challenges against enemies. Extremely strong, it can change the landscape. It has an insolent nature that makes it not care about others.

Possible Questions:

Have you ever used Tyranitar Competitively or in Game?

What do you think of his mega? Did you think he deserved/needed a mega?

What are your thoughts on him being a dark type?

Did you ever see Tyranitar as a Ground and Dark type more than a Rock and Dark type?

Whats your overall opinion on his overall look and pokedex entry?

Other thoughts?

I thought id start up POTW again and shorten it up alittle its also returning Bi-monthly! And we will also keep the current topic running for any of you that may have missed a chance to answer it!

Sounds ominous, I love it! It's a bit cliche but the idea itself fits really nicely with beginning to shape a mysterious character. He reminds me a lot of Grimsley though so what could be done to make him stand out from his Gen V counterpart?

I think one option is to pull off another Giovanni though I'm not sure how many people want a repeat of the events of R/B/Y. However dark types are used by the more 'evil' trainer classes with them being heavily favoured by the grunts, admins and thieves of the pokemon world, making the dark type leader the perfect choice for a villain. Throw in a shady outfit, a twisted personality and a team full of dark types and hey presto, you're ready to go! One double agent ready to bend the storyline.

Quote:

Interesting, I've never noticed the trend between bikers and the types they use! I've always just known them to be thugs who like using really tough looking pokemon haha.

I'd be up for a dark type biker though! Maybe we could sort of create a small storyline for it similar to the Delta episode of ORAS? It probably wouldn't be as extensive but could involve the character helping local police forces deal with various rogues and thugs, all of whom use dark and poison types. And I guess it could end with a final battle between the trainer and the head of the biker gang or something.

And now onto the POTW!

Have you ever used Tyranitar competitively or in-game?

No but I'd like to. I think the idea of having to wait till Mt. Silver made it seem not worth training though. But if there's ever a game where I don't have to wait till post game then give me a shout!

What do you think of his mega? Did you think he deserved/needed a mega?

Ayy, they made his mega look pretty cool. Did he deserve one? Definitely. As a pseudo-legendary it'd be hard to imagine one of the strongest pokemon in the game not being able to mega evolve.

What are your thoughts on him being a dark type?

Honestly? I don't think they've really ever emphasised Tyranitar's dark typing unless you count some of the dark type STAB he was given in the form of Crunch and Dark Pulse. He does look evil though so I suppose it suits him! It's just that there focus was on his primary typing of rock and not much else contributes to him being dark other than his design.

Did you ever see Tyranitar as a Ground and Dark type more than a Rock and Dark type?

To this day, I'm still not really sure between what differentiates a rock and a ground pokemon. I've noticed that rock pokemon seem to be well... literally made of rock. Its dex entry does mention that it causes catastrophic earthquakes though so I guess I've always seen it as more of a ground/dark type pokemon!

Whats your opinion on his overall look and pokedex entry?


If Mecha Tyranitar vs Golurk didn't remind you of Godzilla then I don't know what would! That being said, I love its design. Huge creature that could probably terrorise people and pokemon alike? Heck yeah. To make it even more terrifying, we've also got a few dex entries from each game showing that its design matches its actual power:

R/S: Tyranitar is so overwhelmingly powerful, it can bring down a whole mountain to make its nest. This Pokémon wanders about in mountains seeking new opponents to fight.

So basically, don't mess with Tyranitar folks! It'll bring Mount Everest and the rest of the Himalayas upon you.

BW2: The quakes caused when it walks make even great mountains crumble and change the surrounding terrain.

I think this is where I got the idea that Tyranitar was more of a ground type than rock. I guess I just associate earthquake with ground types more? Either way I think this dex entry could be compared to that of Groudon or Godzilla if it was an actual pokemon.

Lycanthropy March 29th, 2015 1:01 AM

POTW: Tyranitar
Have you ever used Tyranitar Competitively or in Game?
No, not yet. But it is the first Pokémon I'm planning to breed in Emerald.

What do you think of his mega? Did you think he deserved/needed a mega?
Well, it's a pseudolegendary Pokémon, making it hard to say it doesn't deserve one. I think the Mega is okay, but it could been better. It feels like only the spikes got a little extended and regained Larvitar's horn and that's it.

What are your thoughts on him being a dark type?
I have to admit it took me a while to find out Tyranitar was in fact a dark type. At first I thought it was rock/ground just like its two prevolutions. I don't know why it is made a dark type. I know, it looks like a monstrous, evil dinosaur, but not everything that looks monstrous and evil is a dark type. Gyarados, Salamence, Aerodactyl, Nidoking, Gliscor, Eelektross and probably more could all have easily been dark types to me according to that definition. Just because it can learn Crunch doesn't seem to fit as a logical explanation either. Take Luxray for example, the thing is even black, learns biting moves, but is no dark type.

Did you ever see Tyranitar as a Ground and Dark type more than a Rock and Dark type?
Ground and rock lie very close to each other, but I see it more as a mountain Pokémon, so a rock type.

Whats your overall opinion on his overall look and pokedex entry?
It looks awesome, an evil dinosaur. I can't really say more about his looks. Its PokéDex entries look a little exaggerated to me, it's not a legendary Pokémon. But if it's true, people can bu lucky there live no Tyranitar in the wild.

Other thoughts?
It's sad he loses his STAB on Earthquake through evolution.

Yes, now you mention it. There is no game where you can get it prenational at all, unless maybe in the sixth gen, I don't know. I wonder why that is. Most other pseudolegendaries are obtainable before the Elite Four, but often found on hidden locations, like on the waterfall for Bagon in RSE, in a cave hidden under a bridge for Gible in DP, fishing in the Safari Zone for Dratini in RBY

I never thought of this! but I think it would be really cool. Another villain who is a gym leader kinda continues the corruption as you see in fairytales and fantasy books could be brought to the pokemon world although id see him as making speeches like Ghetsis did for a good cause while really its a bad cause and their base could be under the gym or in the same city! just a thought but that's a cool idea Aslan!

Same haha I never saw the darkness in him maybe that's just a stereotype thinking all dark types have to have a darker coloring or such.

I find it sad too but honestly when I first saw him I thought he was a ground type probably cause he kept earthquaking and killing my pokes but I always seen him as a ground and dark type or atleast when they announced he would get a mega I thought hed have a type change for less weaknesses.

Reason you love dark types: They are strong, punishing, and elegant Pokemon overall. Some of my favorites are Absol, Houndoom, Hydreigon, Mightyena, Scrafty, Bisharp, and Sharpedo. Those are just some that I've used on in-game teams because they appealed to me. Darkrai and Yveltal are some of my favorite legendaries for looking wickedly powerful. I wear the color black like 80% of the time

Answer any current topic:

If you could have any Dark-type in real life which one would you have and why?
Houndour because it's so cute and it can fit on my lap. :D

RedWolf98 March 31st, 2015 6:38 AM

Have you ever used Tyranitar Competitively or in Game?
Not yet, though I plan on checking him out. He would definitely be a tank that I wouldn't wanna fight even with a 10 foot pole.

What do you think of his mega? Did you think he deserved/needed a mega?
Evidently, being the guy who only played to Gen 4, I don't know how I feel about the megas. I've never used them and I find that the normals are just as reliable (also it opens up a item slot. Leftovers for the win everyone.). However, the megas do look awesome and that is the case here with Tyranitar (I also adore Lucario's mega just to throw it out there...).

What are your thoughts on him being a dark type?
I've seen most action of him from Pokemon Red Mystery Dungeon when he was one of the bad-arse-adores of the game. He didn't strike me as dark type but if Nintendo calls it Dark, then I'm inclined to take it as fact and move on.

Did you ever see Tyranitar as a Ground and Dark type more than a Rock and Dark type?
I saw him as Ground/Rock like the rest of his evolutionist actually. To this day, Rock and Ground will always seem the same to me except that rock is weak to fighting.

Whats your overall opinion on his overall look and pokedex entry?
I feel as though it is overstated. He seems to have little attention in the show or game for being just shy of a legendary Pokemon. Sure he is as good as a Dragon type, but that doesn't mean that he has moved any mountains in the show/game so their meddling on the landscape seems negligible.

Other thoughts?
Overall, I like Tyranitar but he wouldn't be the first Pokemon I would go to to use as one-man-army the Elite Four. That might be my ignorance speaking for itself, but I find faster Pokemon (like Umbreon or Greninja for Dark types) to be more reliable in more instances.

Wicked3DS March 31st, 2015 4:18 PM

Oops I forgot to answer :O

Tyranitar was one of my favorites in the old days; Tyranitar is one of my favorites now.

Have you ever used Tyranitar Competitively or in Game?

I trained one up during postgame but I never did beat Red with it. They should've made it available

What do you think of his mega? Did you think he deserved/needed a mega?
I think he deserved one, but not necessarily needed it. I think something different should've been done, but eh, it's okay I guess. I still prefer the original.

What are your thoughts on him being a dark type?
It definitely fits the bill.

Did you ever see Tyranitar as a Ground and Dark type more than a Rock and Dark type?
Rock/Ground > Ground/Dark, but Rock/Dark > Rock/Ground

What's your overall opinion on his overall look and pokedex entry?
Pretty awesome looking and it's made out to be an absolute monster.

faf March 31st, 2015 8:34 PM

If you could make any (existing/current) Pokemon part Dark what would it be and why?
Echoing others, Luxray. It looks really fierce and the colour scheme doesn't seem fitting for a pure Electric type.

If there would ever be a Dark-Type gym and gym leader, what theme do you think would fit it?
I was thinking more of a coliseum type of thing and similar to what has been said add a maze in mist or something to impair vision.

T-Tar!
I have used it both in-game and competitive, really nice Poke to use but yeah, its Mega is only useful in Monotypes. But then again, M-T-tar can be handy if you don't have a mega yet. I love its design and losing STAB Earthquake in favor of STAB Pursuit and Crunch seem worth it imo. I do think T-Tar is more suiting as a Rock type anyways and Dark suits its fierceness.

Dedenne1 April 2nd, 2015 11:10 AM

Alright nice to see all the answers and opinions on " T-Tar" as i already said i always pictured it as ground/rock at times due to his lack of inner "darkness" but anyways since its been roughly a week how about a new topic?

Since there was a remake of the Hoenn games there has been speculation that the next games will be a new generation with new pokemon. Do you think there's gonna be a Dark/Fairy or Fairy/Dark type? What other types that have not been paired with dark types do you hope to see or expect to see? Do you think any current dark types may get a further evolution or devolution?

Obviously im kinda running out of ideas for topics :P
But after the next POTW anyone who has an idea for a topic please feel free to post one :D

Fairy / dark sure sounds interesting as a combination but i doubt we'll get one.
Then again they might introduce one, maybe even a legendary, who knows.

Not sure if any current dark type will get an evolution, but i would love to see them get one, especially Honchkrow and
Liepard. I think they really need and deserve one.

It's not a logical combination, which won't say there will never appear a Pokémon of such type combination, but I don't expect it in the next generation, because the fairy type is still young. A water/fire Pokémon appeared just recently and we still haven't seen any ghost/normal Pokémon for example.

Oh wow thanks thats a nice userbar would u just post the code for it and I'll put it up! :D
Also it is interesting and i doubt any one pokemon will get the combo but i think a legendary may!

I think a Dark/Fairy-type wouldn't make much sense fundamentally, haha. There would be very little that would resist both its STABs (I think the Steel/Fairy-types are the only ones). But there aren't many Dark-types we already have that I could see gaining new evolutions in future generations.

Y'know, I'd love to see some sort of mischievous elf-like Pokemon. That should suit the Dark/Fairy type since fairies tend to be Pranksters. A Dark/Normal-type would be nice too.

H.A.N. hit the nail on the head right there. I think that while it's certainly possible, if they're still creating opposites for types that've existed since the first generation than we'll probably be waiting for a while. I can't really imagine a dark/fairy being anything other than an evil pixie either so it's not like they've got much to go off. :(

Didn't think of that either! I feel like dark/fairy would be too much of a wombo combo together. Though they could certainly tone down stats, it still doesn't prevent it from being able to beat up a wide range of types while having many resistances.

Can't help but agree with you there as well. I think most dark types have already reached their max point of evolution and you can't do much their design unless you increase their size/scariness. There aren't many standalone pokemon either so there's not much option for expansion of current dark types.

If they were to create a dark/fairy then I'd love to see this! Honestly it's really hard to do much other than combine the idea of darkness and fairies/pixies/sprites together. That's interesting though - maybe they could just use the colour black to represent darkness then throw it together with a fairy-like creature such as a ball of fluff or something.

What other types that have not been paired with dark types do you hope to see or expect to see?

Dark/electric anybody? I feel like they missed a chance at this with Luxray but I'm imagining it in my head and it just sounds really cool haha. Either they change Luxray's typing or create something completely new, either's awesome. :]

Wicked3DS April 10th, 2015 4:19 AM

Fairy/Dark would be very welcomed by me since I think we need more cool Fairy-types than just Gardevoir. I would also like to see a Bug/Dark-type since we've never had one before.

Reason you love dark types: They have some of the coolest designs, and some of the best stories too. Plus, since I found Absol on Sapphire, I've loved Dark types.
3 partner pokemon: Absol, Tyranitar and Umbreon
Answer any current topic: What other types that have not been paired with dark types do you hope to see or expect to see?

Dark/Electric would be cool, but I'm surprised there hasn't been a Dark/Bug combo yet. I thought for sure Game Freak would have made that a thing.

It seems a lot of people feel this way. Luxray really looks like a dark Pokémon, being black colored, and learns a good amount of dark moves as well. I see a good possibility of it getting a dual typed electric/dark Mega evolution some time. Adding types when Mega evolving isn't even that uncommon, look at Ampharos or Pinsir. Those typings were a lot less obvious, Pinsir suddenly growing wings or Ampharos being a dragon.

Hi Aiden, welcome to the club! Dark types are definitely very cool, you've got that right. That's interesting though, have any favourite entries about dark types? I really like how a lot of them reflect the evil nature and doom brought by dark types. Their entries make them seem a lot more intimidating than other types as well. Take Houndoom's X and Y entry for example:

X: Long ago, people imagined its eerie howls to be the call of the grim reaper.
Y: The flames it breathes when angry contain toxins. If they cause a burn, it will hurt forever.

It's pretty spooky thinking that a pokemon can cause neverending pain, let alone be mistaken for the Grim Reaper. But it makes Houndoom seem like a really scary predator even in comparison to the power of some dragon types.

Also great choices for partners! I've always loved Absol's title as a bringer of catastrophe whilst Tyranitar's resemblance to Godzilla has always made it seem like a cool pokemon to own. As for Umbreon I've used one myself and really liked its design. How do you feel about Absol's and Tyranitar's mega forms though?

Bug/Dark would be a really interesting combo though it'd be hard to use a non-poisonous bug that looks scary enough. I think Mega Pinsir could of been a perfect bug/dark though. They could of even done a Heracross and ignored its wings seeing as there's tons of bug/flying types already.

Yeah definitely! A lot of dark types tend to have well... a dark colour scheme. I think Luxray would be perfect for a mega evolution though, seeing as pokemon such as Manectric already have one. I don't think they've reached Sinnoh in terms of designing megas but this'd definitely be one of the first pokemon I'd want to see a design for. They could make it look a lot eviler than it already does as well. :]

Every time Absol appears before people, it is followed by a disaster such as an earthquake or a tidal wave. As a result, it came to be known as the disaster Pokémon.
It chases people and Pokémon from its territory by causing them to experience deep, nightmarish slumbers.
A Pokémon that was formed by 108 spirits. It is bound to a fissure in an Odd Keystone.

Try and guess which is which haha. The first one is obvious, but the others? These are some cool entries, but I'd have to go through them all to find my favourite.

Absol's mega form I'm not too keen on to be honest. I feel it's taken the wrong direction. Instead of enforcing the "harbinger of doom" concept behind Absol, or bringing out something that said "Apocalypse", they made Mega Absol seem more angelic, and I dislike that.

Mega Tyranitar is cool, but I prefer regular Tyranitar's design. There's something about Mega Tyranitar that doesn't sit right. I think some of the Mega Evolutions could have been a bit more inspired. They seem like the developers sat down and said "Right, let's add little squiggly bits and change a couple of colours and call it a day".

They could take inspiration from something poisonous, just make it dark instead. Like the Black Widow spider. Use that as inspiration, and make it Dark instead of Poison.

I would love for Luxray to receive a Mega Evolution. It's such and awesome looking Pokémon, and if they do it right, Luxray could become a beast. I would also like to see how it's power would compare in Mega Form to some other Pokémon. Of course, no Pokémon have anything on Mega Salamence, but hey, it could still get somewhere haha

True. But I can see the reasoning behind it, Absol itself isn't the cause of the doom, he warns the people for the upcoming disasters. In fact he wants to protect the people by warning them to give them time to prepare against the disaster, so kinda like a guardian angel. Only problem is him looking like an angel takes away the misunderstandings of him being the causer of the disasters himself.

Aye. Absol is like a guardian angel. But the misconceptions and serious nature of Absol's appearances should have been put into its Mega Evolution I feel, not how it is like a guardian angel to people. It also takes away from Absol's Dark typing a little I feel.

Dedenne1 April 15th, 2015 7:29 AM

Featured Dark Type Of the Week!
http://i60.*.com/34fidtl.png
Krookodile, The Intimidation pokemon! They never allow prey to escape. Their jaws are so powerful, they can crush the body of an automobile. They're a very violent Pokémon, they try to clamp down on anything that moves in front of their eyes.

Possible Questions:

Have you ever used Krookodile Competitively or in game? If not why/will you?

When he was released for BW what did you think of him?

Does his typing suit him?

Im not gonna ask the mega question.....but its free to answer!

Other thoughts?




I know this is a bit overdo it was meant to be on saturday or friday as it usually is but i got sick and couldn't find the time to get on long enough but it did give me some time to think of the pokemon id choose! And welcome Ninja Aiden to the Club glad to have you!

Also since i didnt do this before what dark type would you guys like to see as the next POTW?
(Dont say sableye)

Saybleye.

Absol would be my nomination, because of how awesome it really is. A protector of people's lives, and homes. Yet it is always feared and it's appearance is ominous to most. Absol is a hero to everyone it appears before, but it is seen as a harbinger of doom. Absol needs a little recognition in life!

EDIT: As for Krookodile, I've never really used one, or got to know one enough. I never got into Gen V, so my experience and opinion on it and the Pokémon is very low. I would say that it does look the part for a Dark/Ground type.

I think all Pokémon will at some point get a Mega evolution. I don't think Krookodile will get a Mega soon. I hope it doesn't. I feel Pokémon should prioritise Gen IV a little more. I feel like it has been very neglected since Gen V.

Wicked3DS April 15th, 2015 8:26 PM

Krookodile is pretty cool, but due to my limited play of Gen V, I don't know a whole lot about it. It's a pretty good attacker and it learns some cool moves including Dragon Claw, and hey, who doesn't love a Pokémon with a little bit of Dragon in them? :P

For PotW, I vote Greninja or Drapion, two of my favorites that we haven't mentioned.

Circuit April 16th, 2015 4:02 AM

Greninja is a cool Pokémon. It has a cool design and sports a very interesting hidden ability, where every move it uses gains STAB bonus. Not only that, but if I'm not mistaken it is the first starter to have dark for a secondary type.

However Drapion is interesting, and a fairly strong Pokémon too. Poison and Dark, it has an interesting movepool and its design isn't too dislikeable, but it certainly isn't my favourite.

If Absolute is a non-contender because it has appeared too recently or whatever, then I would second Greninja out of those, because I feel it is just a little bit better than Drapion.

But Absol is my vote haha

RedWolf98 April 16th, 2015 4:58 AM

Never played Gen V, and others aren't giving much of a yay for Krookodile so my assumption is because it's a bad pokemon competitivly or it's just not a pokemon people would go to for a water/dark pokemon...

As for the next PotW... I would say Greninja as others have said, it is really interesting that this was the first starter with a dark sub-type... *Goes back to the first page to see all the dark types*

Maybe Sneezal as I've always seen it as a powerful pokemon, though I don't know much about it... I dunno XD Good luck with the choice.

Krookodile is actually Ground/Dark and I dont think people dislike it or think it's bad, they just haven't used it much. If you look at its stats and movepool, it's actually fairly good.

Omg we didnt do absol yet lol i forgot that!
And ya absol is a "contender" haha only one thats not is Sableye cause that will likely be a biggggggg discussion in the future :)

Krookodile does have some dragon in him i myself have used him twice he has a great move pool and is very good competitively especially on a ground mono he leads it haha. His typing is a.so cool as Tyranitar is rock and dark he bring ground and dark along with moxie which is awesome haha. I dont feel he'd get a mega soon maybe after a good amount of gen 4 pokes get there Megas oh and i agree eventually every poke will probably get a mega haha. But ya i do really like krookodile he was a fav in the anime as well as in unova it was pretty much just him and excadrill hehe.

Absol, Drapion and Greninja hmmm well we got a week or so so people can keep putting in their thoughts on who should be up haha perhaps it will be Greninja he is quite popular (i hate him with protein lol) im sure he will get a wide discussion haha. Ummm i think we will continue to discuss Krookodile for a while and then possibly a new topic unless i decide to skip to the next POTW to keep us on track or just go with the flow lol.

So..... Maybe
Week of April 18th ~ POTW Krookodile
Week of April 25th ~ New Topic
Week of May 2nd ~ POTW ???


Or should we go back on track with
Week of April 18th ~ POTW Krookodile
Week of April 25th ~ POTW ???
Week of May 2nd ~ New Topic
Week of May 9th ~ POTW


Whichever seems fitting haha i dont like scheduling but i guess its nice to be organized lol

EDIT: Btw we have enough past topics to put in spoilers now so yay and i updated the current post with all past topics, current topics, old POTW, and a refreshed members list any errors let me know haha. Also for the new topics coming up whenever if anyone has a suggestion or something you could fly it by me and i can create it or just create it on the week that we decide on :3

Ok so that was a lot of talking i feel organized lol. (Oh and spoilers one of the upcoming POTW (not the one ur inputting) may be a dark/ghost :P)

Edit if the Edit: to well actually everyone and to new members you probably notice that i like to incorporate everyone in the club and dont exactly make decisions with my own imput haha. So its great to hear feedback from you guys on stuff ex. Better ways to run the club, events, other stuff, whatever you can think of you can post it here or vm me thanks for reading this! Also looking for people who could make some more userbars for the club it would be highly appreciated!

Ok ok edit of the edit of the other edit XD: ok so i have on more question for future POTWs i release we may one day run out of dark types :O but id like to know should i start doing POTW with unevolved pokemon as well? Would you guys like to dicuss them? Or the whole line as a whole? Feel free to drop your opinion!
So ya..... You may have just read this entire post if you did and feel like proving it say *Sableye* at the bottom of you next post as something fun haha

I believe this is the better route to go personally. I feel as if this group hasn't responded to this particular pokemon with gusto, so maybe do a pole or questionair with a prize or something to help introduce this new pokemon... But it has to be a very likable pokemon, maybe have us go back to certain popular pokemon and have a competeion of some type to see which dark type pokemon is the coolest/strongest/widely known/etc.

Just a suggestion.

Cause Sableye...

Circuit April 16th, 2015 9:19 PM

I don't get what is so discussion a invoking in Saybleye... Like, alright, its a Dark/Ghost type with a strange mega that isn't really all that powerful. And POTW should include all Dark Pokémon, not just final evolutions. Also, if the next POTW is a Dark/Ghost that isn't *Saybleye* (I do read) ;) then I know what said PoTW is.

We could do mini group battle tournaments say once every month, and the winner could win something like a shiny version of the current PoTW for example. Something along those lines maybe? That would be a cool exclusive group activity.

EDIT: Btw we have enough past topics to put in spoilers now so yay and i updated the current post with all past topics, current topics, old POTW, and a refreshed members list any errors let me know haha. Also for the new topics coming up whenever if anyone has a suggestion or something you could fly it by me and i can create it or just create it on the week that we decide on :3

Ok so that was a lot of talking i feel organized lol. (Oh and spoilers one of the upcoming POTW (not the one ur inputting) may be a dark/ghost :P)

Edit if the Edit: to well actually everyone and to new members you probably notice that i like to incorporate everyone in the club and dont exactly make decisions with my own imput haha. So its great to hear feedback from you guys on stuff ex. Better ways to run the club, events, other stuff, whatever you can think of you can post it here or vm me thanks for reading this! Also looking for people who could make some more userbars for the club it would be highly appreciated!

Ok ok edit of the edit of the other edit XD: ok so i have on more question for future POTWs i release we may one day run out of dark types :O but id like to know should i start doing POTW with unevolved pokemon as well? Would you guys like to dicuss them? Or the whole line as a whole? Feel free to drop your opinion!
So ya..... You may have just read this entire post if you did and feel like proving it say *Sableye* at the bottom of you next post as something fun haha

Firstly im just gonna quote this post for anyine who hasnt read it and doesnt feel like going all the way back a page aka me haha.

Cause Sableye will be a POTW but im saving him lol
And the next POTW will be whatever you guys choose then sometime in the future itll be spiritomb or sableye hehe

You do read! Lol
So the dark and ghost will be the one after the one you guys are picking and the week will be determined based on everyones opinion for the schedule.
I like your logic haha now battle tournaments as in OU and stuff? And then we encorporate dark types with it by giving one out with shiny right? The only issue i see there would be getting a shiny poke 1 and 2 itll be even harder to get the exact shiny of the POTW. I have 100 shinies about that are KB with 1iv-3iv-5iv-6iv and i could get them cloned if need be haha. Oh and i would think every other month maybe or maybe every month lol i just would have to find people with shinies haha. (We'd be the coolest club though right???? Haha)

Edit:i found that i own a shiny sableye lol

Circuit April 17th, 2015 4:12 AM

I think every month is reasonable, as shinies aren't too hard to get hold of really. There is always one in the GTS for pretty much every Pokémon. We'd definitely be the coolest club with our own battles and giveaways and such.

Here's my idea. We have tournaments between members, and every team has to be in the group (OU, UU, NU etc.) specified and also MUST have at least 1 dark type present. The winner receives a shiny of the current PoTW and recognition on the OP perhaps? Something like;

"This month's battle tournament winner: ..."

You get the idea.

That's what I think would be a cool thing to do. Once a month gives everyone time to train teams and for the appropriate shiny to be acquired. What do you think?

Dedenne1 April 17th, 2015 9:33 AM

Do you think it would be ok to train teams? Personally i am not so good at that as many people may not but showdown is kinda easier they can make there team right there and its on the PC server which its easier to find people on and get ahold of people as well. The shiny thing is still debatable but i like the idea of putting them in the OP though. There is only 20 some members in the club and not all are active as you may have seen so it may be hard to have a lot but then again the competitions could attract more members. I do want everyones opinion on this and the other things i said as well cause it helps judgment haha so everyone please spill your opinions haha.

And for those of you that havent expressed your opinions yet feel free too discuss the POTW and read this post!

And ya absol is a "contender" haha only one thats not is Sableye cause that will likely be a biggggggg discussion in the future :)

Krookodile does have some dragon in him i myself have used him twice he has a great move pool and is very good competitively especially on a ground mono he leads it haha. His typing is a.so cool as Tyranitar is rock and dark he bring ground and dark along with moxie which is awesome haha. I dont feel he'd get a mega soon maybe after a good amount of gen 4 pokes get there Megas oh and i agree eventually every poke will probably get a mega haha. But ya i do really like krookodile he was a fav in the anime as well as in unova it was pretty much just him and excadrill hehe.

Absol, Drapion and Greninja hmmm well we got a week or so so people can keep putting in their thoughts on who should be up haha perhaps it will be Greninja he is quite popular (i hate him with protein lol) im sure he will get a wide discussion haha. Ummm i think we will continue to discuss Krookodile for a while and then possibly a new topic unless i decide to skip to the next POTW to keep us on track or just go with the flow lol.

So..... Maybe
Week of April 18th ~ POTW Krookodile
Week of April 25th ~ New Topic
Week of May 2nd ~ POTW ???


Or should we go back on track with
Week of April 18th ~ POTW Krookodile
Week of April 25th ~ POTW ???
Week of May 2nd ~ New Topic
Week of May 9th ~ POTW


Whichever seems fitting haha i dont like scheduling but i guess its nice to be organized lol

Pendraflare April 17th, 2015 6:11 PM

If Absol was PotW, i'm sure people would have a LOT of fun talking about that one. Because it's easily in my top 5 favorite Hoenn Pokémon, and one I have used in games like B2W2 and XY quite a few times. But if we get Greninja, cool, i'll go with it.

faf April 17th, 2015 7:14 PM

@Aslan- I'd love to see a poofy Fairy/Dark as well! It would be quite adorable. Sorry for not replying sooner but sickness.
@Dedenne- Don't worry about not posting due to sickness, as long as you are better that's what counts!

Anywho, the Krook! I think I have used it before but I do have an IV bred Sandile. The built in shades though, so nice. Also, who doesn't love crocodiles? The second scheledule looks fine to me and I shall nominate Scrafty so I can fangirl. Greninja and Absol are cool too!

@Ninja- Mega Sableye is a boss, get a Prankster Will-o or Calm Mind up before Mega evolving and with Sableye's solid Defenses it can tank most hits and simply set up or Recover.

Circuit April 18th, 2015 3:12 AM

Could do it through Showdown, but I like the battle simulation from X/Y ;-; Plus I think having some trained teams on the actual games could come in handy... You never know, one day you might find a Pokémon tournament and you'll realise you have a winning team on your console! Haha

You could always find someone who was willing to donate said shiny to you or whoever organises the tournament. Besides, as I said before, the GTS has pretty much any Shiny you could need, provided you have the required Pokémon. But I'm sure it wouldn't come to that. Just ask around the trading centre.

And I didn't realise Saybleye was such a good Pokémon... Shows right there that I don't play competitively eh?

Dedenne1 April 18th, 2015 6:14 AM

@Ninja Aiden hmm maybe i like the showdown thing better but hopefully others will input there opinions as well. Alright the shiny thing is doable as long as i can find alittle help and such and such its also a competition for fun haha so i think those 2 will probably draw people to it if we can do it.
Oh and sableye is annoying anyway either though its mega or not its OU and easily halts your team with its defense and taunt and will o wisp lol.

@Zinnia good to see you back! Ya seriously if you dont like crocodiles whats wrong with you? Lol but krookdodile and his line will always be my fav! Oh and second schedule got it!

@Pendarflame hmmm another for Absol i love it and its mega cause well just look at it haha so it seems its tied between Absol in Greninja haha

If you havent given an opinion already please do i can just out the questions here so its easier to find than go back a page and read that annoyingly long post!

Since our Schedule was messed up by non other than me we can do 2 types either:
Week of April 18th ~ POTW Krookodile
Week of April 25th ~ New Topic
Week of May 2nd ~ POTW ???

Or should we go back on track with
Week of April 18th ~ POTW Krookodile
Week of April 25th ~ POTW ???
Week of May 2nd ~ New Topic
Week of May 9th ~ POTW

Feedback? Better ways to run the club, events, other stuff, whatever you can think of you can post it here or vm me!

So one day run out of dark types :O so that is why i made POTW bi-monthly so we can stretch it out a bit but id like to know should i start doing POTW with unevolved pokemon as well? Would you guys like to dicuss them? Or the whole line as a whole? This could allow us to continue them even more and such so whats your opinion?

Lastly:
Do you guys like Ninja Aidens idea? (If you havent its under the spoiler) Would you rather battle on showdown or in XY/ORAS? Would you participate in this type of event? Any other things you'd like to say?

Reason you love dark types:
Because they're all around awesomesauce. Their designs are sleek, they are often very powerful, and contrary to what is likely popular belief, they secretly just want to be loved like any other Pokemon. Pokemon are (generaly) not inherently evil, it's the trainers that are evil, and raise Pokemon to do evil things. Dark types may look menacing, but this is likely why evil trainers are drawn to them. Are you going to be more intimidating with a Houndoom by your side, or a Persian? Yeah, it's the Houndoom. I have three Pokemon Plushies, and they are all Dark-Types: Umbreon, Houndour, and Yveltal. I wish to obtain three more so that I can have a full team or Dark-types. At first, I didn't care for Dark-Types too much. But in 4th gen I started playing competitive Pokemon and saw them in a whole new light (or was it darkness?). My appreciation for them grew rapidly, and now they are one of my three favorite types, along with Bug and Flying. If only they made a Bug/Dark-type Pokemon... They were so close with you, Skorupi... So close...
3 partner pokemon:
Umbreon, Houndoom, Yveltal
Answer any current topic:
Well I already mentioned that I want a Bug/Dark type so I'll go with that. I'm surprised this hasn't been done yet, as I'm sure it would be rather simple. Many people are afraid of bugs, so making one that's also Dark type would just be logical, as it would add to that fear factor. I don't even care if it's another spider-like Pokemon, that would probably be easiest, and would look awesome. A bee would probably work, but again, we already have two of those... With all the types of bugs in the world I'm sure GameFreak could come up with something. Dark/Electric is also something I'd like to see, and could also probably be made with relative ease.

Answer any current topic: I would Like to see a Dark/Fairy type Pokemon as Dark type moves are least effective when hit on fairy type Pokemon(and vice versa) So If there is a dark/fairy type Pokemon the fairy type moves(Fighting types and bug types moves are also added) will not very much effective on dark type Pokemon.Thus It will really revolutionized the world of dark type Pokemon!

It's fine by me if it is done on Showdown, I can appreciate the convenience of it ^-^ It's a competition for fun, but there is always a prize at the end right? Besides, if it's every month or fortnightly, then you'd have plenty of time to locate the shiny in question, if you know what the PoTW will be. You'll have to plan them in advance maybe... You could always base the PoTW around what shinies you're likely to have available to you.

I also think that unevolved Pokémon or lower tiers should definitely be included. They're still dark types, and aren't completely encompassed by their evolved forms. Behind every great Tyranitar is a meek Larvitar and so on haha (Yes, Larvitar isn't dark but was just an example :P)

Hey to mariomaniac and JatinGupta! Dark/Fairy would be interesting only being weak to Poison and Steel. I wonder if that would be too strong or not...

Anyways welcome feel free to add your opinion to the above question and hope to see you discussing in the future!

Ok so im fine on all those matters i think that if other members just give some opinions on whether or not theyre open to it and other stuff i could make it work and such (maybe id even start with sableye) haha. Ya planning in advance thats definately what I'll do haha i can actually make a calendar or something for the club to keep it organized for POTW thats kinda why in the first post i have past ones so i dont repeat haha. (Oh ya and always a prize for fun is just a saying its more just always for the prize and glory and bragging rights lol)

Thats what i was thinking so maybe I'll start unevolved POTWs soon and thanks for sharing your opinion haha.

Circuit April 20th, 2015 5:48 AM

It seems I'm the only one really active here at the moment haha. Or the only one with an opinion to share. Either way, you're welcome ^^

I would like to see a full Dark type tournament at some point, would be interesting to see the outcome.
What would your competitive team be, if you could only use Dark types and sub-types?

mariomaniac432 April 20th, 2015 3:16 PM

Unfortunately many Dark-types with a second type share that combination with another Dark-Type, making choices a bit limited if you're trying to keep a diverse team. But my team probably be something Umbreon, Greninja, Hydregion, Spiritomb, Mega Houndoom, and Drapion.

Greninja is just an all around beast, definitely one of the best Pokemon introduced in 6th Gen as far as competitive Pokemon go. Protean also makes it more versatile in a situation like this. Umbreon is just one of my favorite Pokemon of all time, so for that reason alone I'd use it. I'm not that familiar with the 6th Gen meta, but in 4th Gen it was really good as a physical wall/tank thanks to moves like Curse, Payback, and Wish. Hydregion hits harder than Greninja, at the cost of speed, so he's there to get the KOs that Greninja can't. Spiritomb can take hits from both the physical and special side, while also dealing out decent damage on both sides, making him an excellent choice. And only being weak to Fairy is another plus (curse you, Fairy-Type!). Choosing which Mega I wanted was tough, since they all share a type with another Pokemon I was considering or ended up choosing. In the end I chose Mega Houndoom because I love Houndoom, and it doesn't share a type with the others. The last slot was almost as hard to choose as the Mega. My team was almost all Special Attackers, but I wanted a physical attacker that was fast. Mega Sharpedo is the fastest, but I'm using Houndoom as my Mega. This leaves regular Sharpedo and Drapion as the fastest, and Krookodile not far behind. But I'm already using Greninja (even though it likely never actually be a Water or Dark-Type here), so Sharpedo was out again. Krookodile is stronger offensively, but I like that Drapion can take a hit better, so I went with Drapion.

Username: Milk!
Reason you love dark types: When Dark types were first introduced in Gen 2, I was in love. The idea of a new type was already exciting to me, but I thought a Dark type was just the neatest thing ever! It brought something new to Pokemon, a more sinister type to balance out the more light-based ones. Also, dark Pokemon all look super cool!
3 partner pokemon: Murkrow, Sneasel, Houndoom
Answer any current topic: What other types that have not been paired with dark types do you hope to see or expect to see?
Dark/Fairy! Now that would be an interesting combination considering they're pretty much on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Circuit April 22nd, 2015 2:31 AM

Welcome Milk!

The thing I'm thinking with Dark/Fairy, is that it would end up being like a Devil themed Pokémon, like the fallen angel Lucifer. A corrupted angel fallen from Heaven into Hell. That would be seriously cool.

In response to my own topic, my team would be Umbreon, Mega Tyranitar, Hydreigon, Krookodile, Zoroark and Sharpedo

Umbreon has high Def and Sp.Def, and is overall quite tanky, becoming the wall for my team, while Sharpedo takes over as the physical Sweeper/revenge killer. Tyranitar and its mega form will be the physical attacker for the team, with Hydreigon being the special attacker. Zoroark and Krookodile are there to counter specific types such as psychic and electric switches. There's not an awful lot to say about this team for me, since I don't battle competitively a hell of a lot, and to talk more about the team, I'd need experience I don't have lmao.

Dedenne1 April 22nd, 2015 4:14 PM

Welcome to the Club Milk! Feel free to join in on the current discussion (reminds me i gotta update the OP) and happy to have you here!
I like both your teams Mario maniac and Aiden! They both are actually well made haha they count for most weaknesses and MM umbreon is a pretty good wall! Haha
(Oh and nice use of colors Aiden lol)

So for the current topic that Aiden created (btw i love it haha) i guess ill answer!
For me it would probably be something like this:

Zoroark
Krookodile
Hydreigon
Mega Sableye
Malamar
Drapion

So firstly as some may know Zoroark is my favorite dark type and he is actually decent competitively fooling people usually works hes pretty much a glass cannon and can take out multiple opponents if they cant figure out what poke he is first and is awesome with focus sash. Krookodile is great as support or Offensive one moxie usually makes him do superb damage and he has a wide move pool for coverage! Hydreigon as we all know is a glass cannon as well with those amazing SpAtk stats and wide movepool he can take out multiple foes as long as theyre not fairy types haha. M-Sableye has proved himself to be one of the most annoying ou pokes out there and is a great addition to the team with great defense and only one typing being supereffective along with magic bounce he can wreck a team and bring it to its knees! Malamar i havent had much experience but with superpower and its ability it can do pretty great! Its also great coverage for fighting types! And lastly Drapion another poke with only one weakness! And he is also great coverage for fairy types so need i say more? Of coarse the team would need a lot of tweaking here but its a pretty good one for right off the top of my head haha. But i think i will test this team on showdown in the future especially if we do have tours in the club!

I always thought a Dark/Fairy type would be more like a Pokemon that was once evil, but redeemed itself and became good, and would likely be a legendary in order to fit that role better.

Circuit April 23rd, 2015 1:19 PM

That's a good idea too, I never thought of it like that. That's a really interesting concept, maybe the legendary for Gen VII?
