I'd say Mega Tyranitar. It's got quite a bulky-looking body, and it's also pretty intimidating; love it. Not sure how good it is in battling, as I've never used it. Though, I did use regular Tyranitar, and it's quite decent. If Tyranitar's good, this must be even better. Alongside that, I also like Absol and Honchkrow, as well as Zoroark. :]

Houndoom. No questions at all. It's been a favorite of mine since GSC and has looked boss ever since. And it also got a Mega Evolution in Gen VI. The dog from the spawns of heck :D

Absol is pretty close though, even though it wasn't very good when it was introduced, but the DS era games gave it not only the physical/special split, but Super Luck. Then a Mega Evolution. Fun.

Sneasel and Weavile, of course! They are the best looking pokémon I know, and their typing is awesome. They could have more interesting movesets though, like more ice moves naturally. But overall they are some of my favorite pokémon. Not just favorite Dark types.

In the games, Sableye is a gem. Lol pun

I love the dark types that just look nasty and dangerous, and Houndoom used to be my favorite. Not only is he dark and fire, but he would be a great and loyal companion for any trainer. Since X/Y my favorite is probably Greninja, because well, he is a Ninja :D

There are a few Dark type Pokemon that I like such as Umbreon, Sneasel/Weavile, Absol and Deino/Zweilous/Hydreigon, but I don't know if I have an actual favorite out of the bunch. I do like a lot of Dark type moves though, with Crunch and Dark Pulse being two of my favorites.

This was kinda hard. D:

#3: Umbreon
I love every single Eeveelution, but Umbreon used to be one of my favorites. Though it's not anymore, I still love it, and it still makes it as a top 3 favorite dark type. It's adorable, but more than that it's just so awesome. I always imagine it running through cities and forests in the dark, just being so cool. Its shiny form is also very pretty, and its bulk is incredible. Though I haven't used one in a long time, I can still safely say it's up there as my favorite dark type, and will always have a special place in my heart <3

#2: Houndoom
Houndoom is one of those pokemon I always admired from afar; thought was totally awesome, but never really used one. However, it still makes it to my favorite dark types list, due to its dual-fire typing (I love fire type) and truly awesome design. To be honest I really love its mega form too. Not much else to say about it, it's just simply stunning. <3


#1: Greninja
Oh man, I love this thing. Especially with Protean. It is so much fun to battle with, especially since it's super fast and has a lot of coverage. In addition it's just so... cute! Have you used it in Pokemon Amie? oh my goodness. It's like an adorable little yoga instructor. And your best pal. All in one. <3 <3 Gotta say, even though Fennekin is ADORABLE and definitely holds the award for "Kalos starter I fell in love with first", Greninja impressed me a hell of a lot more than Delphox, and though I do like Fennekin more than Froakie, I love Greninja more than all of them put together. Never thought Froakie's final evolution would end up being my favorite dark type.


Honorable mentions: Liepard, Mightyena, Skuntank, Sableye, Absol, Honchkrow

Umbreon is one of my favorite dark types because it's and eeveelution for 1, and has a cool design.

Mighteyenna is my 2nd favorite because it's a dog, it has a cool design, and it was my first Pokémon caught in Hoenn.

Dark is one of my all-time favorite types, but Krookodile is a hair above the rest for my heart. It's got amazing stats and abilities for a sweeper and its design is pretty sweet too. Who doesn't love a giant bipedal desert croc with eye markings that resemble sunglasses? XD

Hands down Houndoom for me as well. His design, his typing, his mega-evo...so many things make him such an awesome Pokemon. I use one whenever i can, and i never ever get tired of it. Houndoom should get some signature attack thats both Fire and Dark, just saying.

I love Absol. Honestly. it was the only Pokemon from Gen III that I actually liked. I even have a desktop of Absol :) and she's part of my Pokemon X team. Her Mega Evolution is gorgeous, too.

I'm one of the few that loves Liepard (and Purrloin) based on it's design and also the first Dark Type I ever used. I also love cats, another reason I love Liepard (and Purrloin)

After that I have used other Dark [Umbreon, Mightyena, Sneasel] Pokemon.
I ♥ Foxes and Cats!! - art i drew myself
instead of 'Catch 'em All' for me would be "gotta Pet 'Em All"
