Would you say you teach your dark types this move alot?
yes, flinching chance is great. Overall opinion of the move? Better than Crunch. Should anything be changed about the move? (added effects, power higher, other stats increased?) Base power 90 |
Would you say you teach your dark types this move a lot? Overall Opinion?
Haha! Probably WAY more than I'd like to admit. I really like this move overall and I really like special moves, especially pulse and beam moves. Dark Pulse is probably my favorite dark-type move, aside from Night Slash, and I do try to make it a point to teach it to my dark-type friends. Should anything be changed about the move? (added effects, power higher, other stats increased?) Nah! It has a pretty effect, but I might be inclined to give it a power of 90. Oh, I just found out that the power would be 120 for Pokemon that have the Mega-Launcher ability. You know what this means, right Dedenne1? I need to get me a Clawitzer! Look at that! It can learn all of my favorite moves: Aura Sphere :D :D :D, Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, and Water Pulse. PULSE PULSE PULSE! |
Would you say you teach your dark types this move alot?
If they are Special based Dark-type or Lucario (in Gen IV), then this move is needed. (: Overall opinion of the move? As Kaneki said it has a flinch chance, though the percentage is decent for me, hahaha. Should anything be changed about the move? (added effects, power higher, other stats increased?) At least 85/90 BP in my opinion OR 30% flinch chance. |
Move of the Week: Dark Pulse
Dark Pulse is the strongest dark type move that's not a signature move (I wouldn't complain if Night Daze became available for more Pokémon though), but its base power still isn't very impressive. As many already mentioned, 90 base power would be very nice. Still, it's definitely a move I use a lot, on any special dark type. It's certainly a must for my favorite dark Pokémon Houndoom. |
Would you say you teach your dark types this move alot?
I hadn't really used it much, but I kept spamming the move with my Lucario in PMD. I like it and am not disappointed. Overall opinion of the move? Dark Pulse is a boss in Triple and Double Battles, and its ability to flinch makes it even more awesome. I love the move overall. Should anything be changed about the move? Not really. It would be a little too overpowered even by adding 5 base power to it (considering Triple and Double Battles) so it's just in its perfect state. |
Dark Type Pokemon of The Week http://pldh.net/media/gallery/the493/skuntank.jpg Skunktank The Skunk Pokémon. It sprays a vile-smelling fluid from the tip of its tail to attack. Its range is over 160 feet.It sprays a stinky fluid from its tail. The fluid smells worse the longer it is allowed to fester.It attacks by spraying a horribly smelly fluid from the tip of its tail. Attacks from above confound it. The stench dulls after a few squirts. Possible Questions: What are your overall thoughts on Skunktank? Have you ever Skunktank in-game or competitively? Whats your overall thoughts on its design? If you could change Skunktankin any way what would you change? Does he make for a good dark type? Other thoughts? Ya idk how i forgot him but i did and hes one of the few pokemon that we havent done for POTW. Anyways im quite happy with the move of the week so i think we'll stick with it and also next week should be a pokemon comparison and should be right on time and not a day late haha. Spoiler:
Also for dark pulse i would say I love the move and its pretty well created (i also love its animation in gen 4) Id like to see some more added on effects maybe confusion or paralysis from just how scary it is and id like to give its power +10 just to give it that extra power but as Otamajakushi said with the Mega Launcher ability that might be a bit off the charts haha Oh and ya ill be answering the topic at hand for now on as well cause idk somehow ive been forgetting to do that xD also by the way if you used it in game did you use it with flamethrower? Cause that is freaking cool |
What are your overall thoughts on Skunktank?
I love Stunky, the typing is also unique for the whole line and Drapion. Have you ever Skunktank in-game or competitively? Neither, I'm not a fan of its stats. Its moveset is rather limited as well. Whats your overall thoughts on its design? Let's just say it could be better. If you could change Skunktankin any way what would you change? The design, the stats. Does he make for a good dark type? Not really, at least not as good as Houndoom. I believe it acts as a supporter, so the comparison might not be fair though. |
Have you ever used Skunktank in-game or competitively?
Yes, I have. It was kind if great, especially because it has Flamethrower in its arsenal, but it seems a little outclassed compared to other Poison- and Dark-types. What are your overall thoughts on its design? The most smug look a Pokémon would have. Sorry, Snivy, but Skuntank has a better face than you. I mean, this face is the meaning of dark, especially because it either looks like an emo or a gangster. |
POTW: Skuntank
I like it because of its unique typing, but that's about the only part. I used it for a bit on my team in Pokémon Diamond because I was like OMG IT LEARNS FLAMETHROWER THAT'S AWESOME. But well... its special attack stat is meh. Speaking of its base stats, it's not really a tank as the Pokémon's name suggests, so that might be up for a change. With Toxic, Taunt, Foul Play and only one weakness it'd be perfect as staller! Another note: I only just noticed it's actually Skuntank and not Skunktank. I've been spelling it wrong forever. (And it looks like I'm not the only one.) By the way Dedenne, you said you were going to notify me. I didn't get any. :( |

Why I love dark types: Because it's a weird type that's fun to work with also the mere existence of Scrafty with moxie Pokémon partners: Scrafty http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon/560.png Weavile http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon/461.png Bisharp http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon/625.png Favorite Dark type: Scrafty honestly give me clothes that vaguely resemble Scrafty and I'd look just like it also moxie hehehehe >:) |
What are your overall thoughts on Skunktank? Hmmm... Cool design, but there are some better ones
Have you ever used Skunktank in-game or competitively? No, I've not Whats your overall thoughts on its design?The hair over its body looks really good, but the rest for me is just normal. Does he make for a good dark type? No, not really. I don't know why, but for me, it could have been pure Poison too |
I don't really like stuntank's design no specific reason for it I just don't
I've just prefured other dark types to it so I don't use it I do like the colors for it, it just screams poison skunk There are better dark types (like Weavile) |
Dark Type Bi-Monthly Showcase http://i.imgur.com/6EQteUu.png..........http://i.imgur.com/DdlLhJp.png Hydreigon vs. Greninja Hydreigon, The Brutal Pokémon. It responds to movement by attacking. This scary, three-headed Pokémon devours everything in its path! The heads on their arms do not have brains. They use all three heads to consume and destroy everything.This brutal Pokémon travels the skies on its six wings. Anything that moves seems like a foe to it, triggering its attack. Greninja, The Ninja Pokémon. It creates throwing stars out of compressed water. When it spins them and throws them at high speed, these stars can split metal in two. It appears and vanishes with a ninja’s grace. It toys with its enemies using swift movements, while slicing them with throwing stars of sharpest water. Coding is broken here dont mind me (if you see me say something) Lets Compare! Which dark type do you think has the best design and why? Who do you think might win in a battle? In your opinion do you think one is better than the other? Why? Are there specific moves that one can learn that may give them the advantage? Or does one just clearly have better stats? Which one is your overall favorite and why? Which type combinations do you like best? Dark/Water or Dragon/Dark? Other Thoughts? Comparison Time! Next week should be a move of the week but first... MANDATORY FEEDBACK QUESTIONS Not really mandatory... So guys as some may know I always like feedback from members of the club and I know I've been a bit busy but i wanna know everyone's thoughts. Feel free to go into as much or as little detail as possible but here's just a couple points I'd like to chat about: Do you like the POTW's, Pokemon Showcases and Moves of the Week's? Can they be improved? Is there any events you'd like to see the club hold as a whole such as in game challenges or dark type tournaments, etc. Would you like to see a point system implemented in which you are rewarded for posts etc. What rewards would you like to see? (I can do shiny pokemon) Thoughts on the overall presentation of the club? (css, opening post, member list, etc.) And whatever else you guys would like to talk about I know there's always room for improvement and I wanna keep the Dark Type Club going strong till the end of time for a long long time. Thanks for taking the time to give feedback! Spoiler:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll answer the question in this on so I avoid double posting Honestly I can't decide between them I love both and have personal attachments to both. It could go ether way I'd say there evenly matched so it's up more to how they were raised. These are just to tough of choices to call for the rest of the questions I think there just to evenly matched here |
Dark Type Move of The Week http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/pokemon/images/b/b8/Mantle_Krookodile_Crunch.png/revision/latest?cb=20150713042425 Crunch The user crunches up the foe with sharp fangs. It may also lower the target's Defense stat. Possible Questions: Would you say you teach your dark types this move alot? Overall opinion of the move? Should anything be changed about the move? (added effects, power higher, other stats increased?) Crunch or Foul Play? Which do you use more? Other thoughts? Ya crunch is a relatively simple move but its used alot in battles as a powerful physical dark type move. So what are your guy's thoughts about it? I personally like it and use it on alot of my teams although i find myself using knock off more and i also prefer special attacking dark types like Zoroark as opposed to physical. Also feedback questions are above a couple posts feedback is appreciated or feel free to ignore them doesnt matter~ Spoiler:

Possible Questions:
Would you say you teach your dark types this move alot? not only dark pokes my old feraligatr and aerodactyl have it. Overall opinion of the move? good and useful but really vanilla. Should anything be changed about the move? (added effects, power higher, other stats increased?) 90 power Crunch or Foul Play? Which do you use more? crunch Other thoughts? Like akiomoto said not very interesting, but it is very useful |
Well now, this seems interesting. I suppose I could Stride in.
Username: Gilles de Rais Nickname (optional): Abominable One Reason you love dark types: No world is without its heroes. What happens, then, when those heroes become the villains? We're the ones who keep them in check. Heroes wouldn't be heroes without an adversary, and if they're any less than their absolute best, they won't win. 3 partner Pokemon (dex numbers appreciated): Absol, Malamar, and Spiritomb (359, 687, 442) Answer any current or past topic: Crunch is a good move, but I wish it was more likely to lower Defense than it already is. I'd teach it for the sake of power, but sometimes other moves are stronger, like Knock Off or Night Slash. I do use Crunch more than Foul Play, though, as the combination with Swagger's a bit of a pain. Would you like quote notifications (simply put you will be notified by use of quote when there is a new topic): Sure, thank you. You'll have to inform me if there's anything I need to do on my end for this to work. |

Username: LexAnarchy Reason you love dark types: I love almost all of them, with a few exceptions. Most of them are some of my favourite Pokemon. I can't help loving them, they're just plain badass. 3 partner Pokemon (dex numbers appreciated): #274 Nuzleaf, #319 Sharpedo, #215 Sneazel Would you like quote notifications (simply put you will be notified by use of quote when there is a new topic): Sure thing. Would you say you teach your dark types this move alot? Nah, not too many of my Pokes know Crunch. Overall opinion of the move? Frankly speaking, Crunch is one of my least favourite dark type moves. I mean sure, it's got a lot of base power and has that chance to drop the foe's defense, but compared to other dark type moves like Knock Off, Snatch or Sucker Punch, which are pretty unique and therefore interesting moves, it just seems a bit boring to me. Should anything be changed about the move? (added effects, power higher, other stats increased? I'd rather see a chance of flinching the opponent instead of the potential defense drop, it just matches a dark move. Crunch or Foul Play? Which do you use more? Neither of those are common moves on my Pokemon, but I think Foul Play takes the cake. Other thoughts? Pretty much what I stated above. |
Dark Type Pokemon of The Week http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/5/53/228Houndour.png/250px-228Houndour.png Houndour The Dark Pokemon, Houndour hunt as a coordinated pack.

Have you ever used Houndour in-game? Whats your overall thoughts on its design? If you could change Houndour in any way what would you change? Does he makes for a good dark type? Do you like his normal or shiny form better? Other thoughts? Sorry for the delay guys been alittle sick with the flu and all but I'm getting better hehe and to celebrate I thought I'd showcase one of my favorite Dark types as the POTW. And seriously you gotta like that shiny form haha Spoiler:

What are your overall thoughts on Houndour?
I find it sort of cute but intimidating at the same time. Definitely a cool Poke. Have you ever used Houndour in-game? Yes, yes I have. Get that Flash Fire on a swap and a Nasty Plot up and you're good to go. Whats your overall thoughts on its design? It's awesome. I especially loved the design on the old Pokemon cards, it looked way more vicious back then. If you could change Houndour in any way what would you change? I wouldn't change it, like at all. It's perfect the way it is. Does he makes for a good dark type? Sure does. That unique typing combination is awesome too. Do you like his normal or shiny form better? Normal form is absolutely top-notch. Although I have to admit his shiny isn't too bad either. |
What are your overall thoughts on Houndour?
Overall it makes a very good hound. What are your overall thoughts on its design? Love it. It's like a greyhound covered in armor. Does it make for a good dark type? Yes. Thanks to its Fire typing it doesn't have to deal with Bugs and Fairies as hardly as it has to. Do you like his normal or shiny form better? Because green. |
