Have you ever used it in-game?
Unfortunately not. I've always seemed to forget about it. I'm not sure why, because Hydreigon is an absolutely adorable and cool-looking Pokemon. I think I may endeavor to use it someday, perhaps during a Dragon-type monotype.
Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
I think it looks really cool and I can certainly appreciate how they carried over the design of its face to its evolution, Zweilous. After it evolves into Hydreigon, it opens its eyes, which can be regarded as symbolic to some people. On top of that, Black, Purple, and Blue are my favorite colors of all time!
What are your thoughts on its typing? Does it seem like a dark type?
The typing is fantastic. Of course being dark is amazing, but coupled with dragon type can make this Pokemon fierce. The combo certainly isn't tickity-tak by any measure.
If you could change Deino in anyway what would you change?
I think I would remove the "covered in wounds" part of its dex entry. It's just so sad and unfortunate that that has to be a thing. It does give it personality though, but I'd just feel awful that I'd be fostering that.


What'd you guys think of the Pokemon Comparison? Should it continue Bi-Monthly?
This is tough, because it's usually hard to pick just one. I love 'em all!
How does the OP look? Theres been some issues recently but i think everything is good now right?
I have enumerated some suggestion that I think would be beneficial:
  1. Make the images of the POW clickable to the posts in which they were featured.
  2. Pangoro's sprite is missing!
Everything else is on point!

POTW: Deino
I don't find Deino the most interesting Pokémon, mainly because I'm not a real fan of its ability: Hustle. I always rely on full accuracy moves during a normal playthrough and Hustle just breaks that. There's also not much dragon (darkness is certainly present as its blind )on the Pokémon yet, but that will change upon reaching its final form, which is definitely worth it. I haven't used it yet however. It's evolution level is really high. You get Salamence in level 50, the same level in which Deino evolves into Zweilous. I mean, what the hell?

Feedback Questions:
What'd you guys think of the Pokemon Comparison? Should it continue Bi-Monthly?

I like it, so yes.
What can i do to make the Comparison and POTW more interesting and better looking?
Actually, I don't think there's much to improve about those. Maybe alternating them with some more regular topics would help.
How can i run the club better? Any suggestions or events you think we should host?
In general you're doing well! Regarding events, there are tons of options: drawing a Pokémon, writing a short story and designing a dark type fakemon come to my mind at the moment.
How does the OP look? Theres been some issues recently but i think everything is good now right? (What can we improve in the OP? Do you like the links to current POTW or no?)
It looks great, there's as pointed out by Otamajakushi, a few Pokémon missing in the list, but that's a detail.
Other thoughts?
It's clearly an eye and not a moon!

Deino responses:

Have you ever used it in-game?

Never have, and I'm not sure I will since it takes REALLY long to evolve this line.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design?

Two headed Pokémon aren't all that unique, but this design is and it's pretty cool if you ask me.

What are your thoughts on its typing? Does it seem like a dark type?

Considering its characteristics and judging by its design, Dark-type seems to suit it very well.

If you could change Deino in anyway what would you change?

Nothing really, it fits well for the concept that it was given in my opinion.

Other thoughts?

Deino is a pretty cool middle stage Pokémon and it fits very well with its line.

Dark Type Bi-Monthly Showcase
..........
Sableye vs. Pangoro


Sableye, The Darkness Pokémon. It digs the ground with sharpened claws to find rocks that it eats. Substances in the eaten rocks crystallize and rise up to its body surface. They lead quiet lives deep inside caverns. They are feared, however, because they are thought to steal the spirits of people when their eyes burn with a sinister glow in the darkness. It digs branching holes in caves using its sharp claws in search of food--raw gems.
Pangoro, The Daunting Pokémon. Although it posses a violent temperament, it won't put up with bullying. It uses the leaf in its mouth to sense the movements of its enemies. It charges ahead and bashes its opponents like a berserker, uncaring about any hits it might take. Its arms are mighty enough to snap a telephone pole.



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?
Which dark type would you choose if you had to?
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 combination do you like better Pangoro's? or Sableye's?
Other Thoughts?



Sorry for the lateness! Once again haha im gonna try to get on top of all my clubs in the coming days then try to update them when needed!

Which dark type do you think has the best design and why?
I think Pangoro has a better design. It's a giant fighting panda!
Who do you think might win in a battle?
I think Sableye would win in a battle. Pangoro is part fighting-type, which doesn't help it at all.
Which dark type would you choose if you had to?
Sableye, in a heartbeat! I love it!
Which one is your overall favorite and why?
Sableye. I used one in a playthrough once and I enjoyed it's play style. That's not to say I don't like Pangoro. I've just never had a Pangoro before.
Which type combination do you like better Pangoro's? or Sableye's?
Sableye. I like the Dark/Ghost match up well.

Reason you love dark types: No reason, always been partial to them ever since I realised Dark type was a thing, and I typically lean towards the dark element/side of things no matter what game I'm playing. I love anything to do with stealth, shadows etc. so Darks fit the bill pretty nicely.
3 partner Pokemon: Mightyena, Absol, Zoroark
Answer any current or past topic: Most evil-looking Dark? Torn between Cacturne and Malamar. Those eyes. I suppose I'd go with Cacturne.

Which dark type do you think has the best design and why?
Sableye. Reminds me of the Heartless/Unversed in Kingdom Hearts, as well as Stitch from Lilo & Stitch. It's also fairly original. I like Pangoro but he's literally just a bipedal Mafia panda.

Who do you think might win in a battle?
Sableye. At least in his mega forme.

Which dark type would you choose if you had to?
Sableye.

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?
Both Prankster and Magic Bounce are great abilities that Sableye has access to and Pangoro doesn't, but I think they both fill entirely different niches in battle, so I can't really say one is better than the other from a competitive point of view.

Which one is your overall favorite and why?
Sableye for aforementioned reasons, plus they were in a horde before it was cool (PMD Time/Darkness/Sky, anyone?).

Which type combination do you like better Pangoro's? or Sableye's?
Well, Pangoro has a handy immunity to Psychic where his second type would be weak to it, but Dark/Ghost has only one weakness and Sableye is a very defensive Pokémon to begin with, so Sableye's combo. Plus Dark/Ghost is a cool combo only two Mons have access to.

It may be late, but welcome to the club, Thief! Let me guess, Thief is your favorite dark type move?

Anyway, I agree that Sableye has a great typing, without weaknesses in the past, one now. It's perfect for a wall and it's Mega is like the best wall ever. I don't think it has ever happened I didn't have trouble by getting it down and I forget Stealth Rock is affected by Magic Bounce too too often.


Also, Dedenne, I can't really answer this comparison. The Pokémon aren't comparable, they're completely different. I have absolutely no idea which one of them I like more. They are both very useful in their own way.
Sableye may have full resistance against Pangoro's fighting attacks, but its own won't do a lot of damage either. Still, with it's Will-o-Wisp and Recover (both while making use of Prankster) it can completely block Pangoro's attacks, so I expect the panda to be unable to keep up with it.

Haha, well of course.

Yeah, I had so much fun with Mega Sableye in that Hoenn-only online tourney where we won HA Tyrunt. Set up a few Calm Minds, Will-O-Wisp any Meta or Salamence... Mega Altaria wasn't particularly fun to deal with though.

& Nothing is more satisfying than Mega Bouncing SR/Toxic Spikes/Thunder Wave at the start of a battle.

Reason you love dark types: When they were first introduced in gen 2 I thought they were a perfect edition to the existing types. It added a nice element of light and dark that even as a kid I felt was missing from the game. I fell in love with Murkrow, Sneasel and the Hound family instantly!

Answer any current or past topic: Which Dark type is the most evil looking in your opinion? Why?
I'd say Houndoom. I mean... it literally looks like a hound straight out of hell, like Satan's pet. The mega-evolution made it look even more evil!

Have you ever used it in-game?
Yep. Love it.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
Whereas Zoroark looks more like an (awesome) porcupine/werewolf hybrid, Zorua fits the fox theme and pulls it off really well. Love the colours too.

Do you like the Zorua and Zoroarks line ability Illusion?
Definitely. So much fun to mess around with when it's your own Pokémon, but I always get tricked when someone-else's Zoro comes out lol.

If you could change Zorua in anyway what would you change?
I don't see any need to change it, but it always bothers me when a Pokémon doesn't have a Hidden Ability available. Same with Deino. For the sake of curiosity I'd like to know what it'll be.

What are your thoughts on its (beautiful) shiny form?
It's definitely one of the better colour combos. I'm mostly just thankful it's not the same ugly green colour poor Hydreigon was cursed with. The only Dark/Dragon line, an amazing hydra-design and it gets a shiny like that... Sigh.

(And thanks for the welcome, haha.)

Zorua

Have you ever used it in-game?

Never used it or Zoroark.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design?

It's very cute, I like it.

Do you like the Zorua and Zoroarks line ability Illusion?

It's pretty cool and very unique.

If you could change Zorua in anyway what would you change?

It could stand to look a tad more intimidating, as long as it stays cute :P

What are your thoughts on its (beautiful) shiny form?

It's pretty cool, though I like red better so it's still not as good looking for me.

Other thoughts?

Zorua is a pretty cool Pokémon, but having never used it, I don't know a lot about it. I most vividly remember it being revealed when Black and White were first announced.

Most definitely! I've used it in ORAS when I was doing a dark-type run though Hoenn.

It's cute and evolves into a badass Pokemon.

Yep! You can really trick people some times, and that's a load of fun.

If you could change Zorua in anyway what would you change?
I wouldn't, personally.

What are your thoughts on its (beautiful) shiny form?
It's... beautiful. Blue. Nuff' said.

If you could change Liepardin anyway what would you change?
What are your thoughts on its shiny form?
Do you think it deserves a mega evolution.

Nope, never.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design?

It's okay, it doesn't really do much for me good or bad.

If you could change Liepard in anyway what would you change?

I feel like it could look a little more intimidating, like a Dark-type should.

What are your thoughts on its shiny form?

Not a huge fan of the color honestly.

Do you think it deserves a mega evolution?

There's many others that I want Megas for first, so I'm gonna say no.

Other thoughts?

Liepard is okay. It's definitely not one of my favorites, but it's really not terrible either I suppose.

Umbreon is my fave dark type. And probably within my top 10 faves of all time. I generally always end up with 3 or 4 every gen i can.
Behind him would probably be Bisharp and Houndoom as far as dark types go.

Have you ever used it in-game or competitively? - Nope and I probably won't. It's fast, but it is also very weak.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design? - For a leopard Pokemon, it's cute and I think it looks cool.

If you could change Liepardin anyway what would you change? - Who's Liepardin? I know it's a typo, and I'm just playin', but I would give it a bit more defense and special defense.

What are your thoughts on its shiny form? - I like it, but I honestly like the normal Liepard more.

Do you think it deserves a mega evolution. - I do think it could use one to definitely help it competitively.

Other thoughts? - Not any that I can think of.

@Dedenne1, I love the whole Splatoon thing you've got going on!

Have you ever used it in-game or competitively?
No, I want to, but I just never have got around to it.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
I think it's pretty good for a cat-like Pokemon. I don't find it to be any better or worse than other designs.

If you could change Liepard in anyway what would you change?
I don't think anything needs to be changed about it.

What are your thoughts on its shiny form?
I'd totally rock that on my team.

Do you think it deserves a mega evolution.
No.

Other thoughts?
It's not that I dislike it, it's just that I've never used or wanted to use it. It's a cute Pokemon, but I just don't have any experience with it. Some day I will though. The next time I do a dark-type monotype run, I'll definitely include it on my team.

Dark Type Pokemon of The Week


Mega Gyarados
Mega Gyarados, The Atrocious Pokémon. In ancient literature, there is a record of a Gyarados that razed a village when violence flared. Rarely seen in the wild. Huge and vicious, it is capable of destroying entire cities in a rage. They say that during past strife, Gyarados would appear and leave blazing ruins in its wake. Once it begins to rampage, a Gyarados will burn everything down, even in a harsh storm.


Possible Questions:
Have you ever Gyarados' mega in-game or competitively?
Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
If you could change Mega Gyarados anyway what would you change?
Did you expect him to have a dark type mega?
Do you think the water/dragon typing would be more appropriate for gyarados' mega?
Other thoughts?

Ya we're still skipping comparison for like idk a week or something i got most of it done just need some questions so this will be our first mega discussion lets see how it goes!

My opinion on liepard is kinda the same as panchams although i must say i do like the design liepard has and i think its a fitting dark type buuuuuut its pretty weak and has a low attack and defense so maybe a mega might give it alittle more power.

Great another mistake because you know i do that in like every POTW :P

@Dedenne1, I love the whole Splatoon thing you've got going on!

And you made one on this as well. You put Liepard instead of Mega Gyrados beneath the picture X3. Anywho, here's my answers for Mega Gyardos.

nvm, you fixed it before I submitted my post X3

Have you ever Gyarados' mega in-game or competitively? - I think I have used Mega Gyrados on Showdown a few times through Randoms, but I can't remember, so just in case I'm going to say that I haven't.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design? - I'm okay with it. I like it over its regular form, but I'm just okay with it.

If you could change Mega Gyarados anyway what would you change? - Personally, and this is just me, but I think the ability it gets, Mold Breaker, should be different. I like Mold Breaker as an ability, but I think that it could've gotten another ability that would benefit it even more.

Did you expect him to have a dark type mega? - No I didn't. I thought Mega Gyrados was gonna be part Dragon type, even by its design, I never did expect it to be a Dark type.

Do you think the water/dragon typing would be more appropriate for gyarados' mega? - I think Dragon should've been part of its typing originally before its mega as it never did make sense to me on why it is part flying type, especially since it can only learn 1 flying type attack and it didn't even get a chance to learn it until gen 4. Besides that, I think Dark type benefits it as a mega more than if it were to be part Dragon type, in my opinion.

Dark Type Pokemon of The Week


Murkrow
Murkrow, The Darkness Pokémon. Feared by many, it is believed to bring misfortune to all who see it at night. When it is chased, it lures it's attackers into a Dark Mountain with trails where the attacker will get lost. It hides any shiny objects it finds in a secret location. Murkrow and Meowth have been known to loot each other's stashes. It has even been known to steal rings off of women.


Possible Questions:
Have you ever Murkrow in-game?
Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
If you could change Murkrow anyway what would you change?
Did you expect him to ever get an evolution? (If you played the original johto games)
He steal rings off of women, he loots wild Meowth's stashes, and brings misfortune what else do you want?
Other thoughts?

Busy busy busy as usual and of coarse mega gyarados wasnt all that popular but i didnt expect it to be so here goes the prevolution of mafia bird!

Reason you love dark types: Hmmm where to start? Dark types have a lot of power competitively with their STAB moves. Knock Off in the newer gens is an excellent move that comes in at 105 power wielded by a dark type. Dark type mons come in a wide array of stat totals that make them good as walls, wall breakers, sweepers, you name it and I'm sure you could find a dark type to fit the role. I've always liked the sleek look the color black adds and dark type mons love to come in that color. They're also immune to psychic which is amazing when you think about it.

Answer any current or past topic:
Have you ever Murkrow in-game?: I used a Murkrow in gold version but I hardly remember it. It was a looong time ago XD
Whats your overall thoughts on its design?: I have a lot of love for it's design. Just look at that face. That glint in it's eye just let's you know this mischievous little fella' is going to be a career troll and that's cool with me. The icing on the cake is the mafioso feel his "hat" gives him. Overall a simple crow design done well so kudos to gamefreak.
If you could change Murkrow anyway what would you change?: His shiny would be less magenta and more a deep purple.
Did you expect him to ever get an evolution? (If you played the original johto games): I figured he would eventually. With the release of G/S I noticed that GF has the potential to show mons without evolutions some love with one. To be fair there are still plenty of mons without an evolution but I nailed it this time :D.
Other thoughts? It's a shame his design before his evolution was set in a way that doesn't allow him to be in LC.
