Welcome Rozu! You're accepted. :) Another fan of Skuntank I see. Same, it's very underrated in my opinion. It's fine if you're a tad inactive, just try to be active as possible. :)

New topic yes? Yup!

Which of the 3 (main game) Dark type specialists do/did you find the hardest to defeat?

 
Which of the 3 (main game) Dark type specialists do/did you find the hardest to defeat?

Karen for sure, mainly because her team is not just Dark-types, she carries a few Poison-type Pokemon as well mainly due to the lack of Dark-types present in Johto. It meant we had to take along a Psychic-type to take out some of her team and she has annoying strategies.

But Grimsley on the other hand does have strong Pokemon but they fall easily to Fighting attacks.
 
Which of the 3 (main game) Dark type specialists do/did you find the hardest to defeat?

To be completely honest, I haven't faced Sidney or Grimsley, since I haven't gotten up to that point in the respective games. I have battled with Karen though so I'll just give my quick opinion on her. I really like Karen. She's a great Elite Four member and her quotes are mesmerising, especially her ones on strong and weak pokemon. She's not all looks and quotes though, I have to say she was quite challenging. Her team is extremely fast and there's loads of types in there, rather than the general 'dark-type only' Pokemon. She had Houndooms, Honchkrows, Weaviles, all sorts of things running around that can cause serious damage to unprepared teams. Not to mention that my Pokemon were rather underlevelled. To be honest, I would of never scraped through that battle, had it not been for Heracross. Overall though, I really find Karen quite challenging if I don't train up for her.

Grimsley was the toughest one for me, though my favorite is Karen. Grimsley's Bsharp did a nice job making short work of my team the first time I played Black. His Krookodile isn't to be trifled with either. Sydney I found rather easy, as much as I loved his mohawk. My Blaziken made quick work of his entire team without much resistance. Karen was somewhat challenging as a kid with her diverse team, but the levels of her Pokeon are so low that they not as threatening as the others. HG/SS remedied this somewhat however.

Answer the current topic: I didn't find any of them difficult, though Karen is the last E4 before you face Lance so I'd pick that.
 
To answer the current topic, I honestly think that Karen was the hardest. The HG/SS Karen. In those games, getting levels was harder than in the 5th Generation games. Not to mention, her Vileplume was very difficult. I had gotten beaten by her and made to restart the Elite 4 at least 3 times. Karen was the hardest. Grimsley is definitley the runner up though. His Pokemon are high leveled, and thanks to dual typing, it is pretty diverse. And, since I try to use Dark types exclusively, made for an interesting battle between two Dark type Masters :P

I also just recently had a thought regarding Pangoros moveset. Considering he has these massive fists, it would sort of make sense for him to get the elemental punches. Maybe not all at the same time like Hitmonchan, but, maybe a little more spread out.
 
In the current topic, I think Grimsley (B/W not B2/W2) was the hardest. Especially when you beat all of them and then he sends out his Bisharp. He beat me a few times so I had to catch a fighting Pokemon and train it just to beat him... And also his Liepard that always uses fake out whenever he sends it out. Karen wasn't that hard, the only Pokemon that gave me trouble was her Houndoom with Flamethrower. Sidney wasn't that hard if you brought a fighting Pokemon which a lot of people did due to Blaziken's type. So yeah, I think Grimsley was the hardest.
 
Current Topic: I think the hardest dark type specialist to beat was Sidney because at that time I really didnt train my pokemon as much as I do now. I now try to always be at high levels compare to opponents.
 
To answer the current topic, I consider Karen most difficult of the three. The other two you can battle first and so gives you time to prepare for them but Karen is far in the ranks of elite four and by then my team is already beaten out from all the previous battles. To add here difficult, she isn't using monotype Dark team.
 
To answer the question^ I think they are awesome. I don't know what people are worried about? I don't think this is a big enough a change to redefine pokemon since these are technically like the form changes that was supposedly exclusive to Deoxys during Generation 3 before Giratina and Shaymin got theirs.

Anyway, Can I add a topic:

Mega-Evolutions have been confirmed. With Absol gaining an "evolution" of some sort, what other Dark-types do you think will get a "mega" change?

I think Mightyena should get a mega evolution, it needs the buff. If absol gets to get one, why not Mightyena? Other Pokemon I think is Houndoom, just cause it looks like the kind who can hold a form.

I definitely agree with you on Mightyena! How badass would a huge wolf be? It'd have some pretty good stats and these mega evolutions would give underrated dark-types a chance to shine. Also I kind of want a mega Sharpedo! Not because its one of my favourites (okay its partly that), but I was always curious to where the other half of its body went. Is it a really short shark or did half of its body just... disappear? It'd be cool seeing a bigger and better evolution. Would be pretty overpowered in my opinion. Krookodile doesn't really need one, its strong and huge enough! I can't imagine it getting bigger to be honest. Mega Houndoom would just be incredibly badass as well. I've got a few others on the tip of my tongue but I can't think of them right now.

I also agree on those who said Mightyena needs a Mega-Evolution, I mean a wolf would be awesome indeed plus that poor thing needs more love, Absol is definitely going to be very strong while still having Glass Cannon-like stats. And I do agree with Sophie that Houndoom should get one too, I bet it would have awesome-looking flames if that was the case.

Welcome to the club! I agree with you and many other, Karen was the hardest. I've always had a hard time beating her Viluplume and Gengar since they're the only ones who weren't Dark and Viluplume knew Poison type moves that could easily poison you and weak your team a lot faster. Gengar's a bit easier since any Dark can kick it's butt, but in HeartGold, it was a bit harder since it knew Focus Blast.

I definitely think Mightyena could use one cause it really does need a boost ,especially in Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense. I also agree with Google about Weavile. While it already has good enough base stats, I'd love to see how much cooler it could look with a new design. One I personally would love too is Stuntank cause that would definitely give it a well needed stat boost and make more people actually use it and appreciate it. It's a very underrated Pokemon in my opinion. Plus I imagine it would have a killer Mega design with awesome red spiky streaks in it's fur. That would be cool looking to me.
 
Hey, do you mind if I join? I'm new to the forums, and I'm looking to belong.

What do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: Words cannot express my love for Dark Type. They sort of match my personality.

Your partners: Spike and Rex (Absol and Absol)

What Types rule: Just look at my signature. My Avatar. My "favourite Pokemon" list on my page. What on EARTH do you think? Here's a hint: DARK TYPES!!

Answer the current topic: Absol, my favourite Pokemon, is getting an EVOLUTION?!? If it's not a good one, so help me, I'll THROTLE whoever came up with that idea!! Other Dark-types? I agree, Mighyeyna and Wevile NEED a Mega Evolution. That, and Skuntank, Houndoom, a few others, and of course DARKRAI!! And the other Legendaries, too.

Edit: Okay, I looked it up, and whoever came up with the idea of "mega evolutions" had better thank the great Arceus that he's a genius. Because otherwise, I'd flatten him in a Dark-Type battle with his own creation!! MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!! What cruel IRONY!!
