Reason you love dark types: It's really cool that there's an Dark/Evil(Japanese name). My favorites are: Darkrai, Houndoom, Umbreon, Spiritomb
3 partner Pokemon: 491 (Darkrai), 442 (Spiritomb), 197 (Umbreon)
Answer any current or past topic:
Which Dark type is the most evil looking in your opinion? Why?
That's definitely Darkrai. It has an epic design and a very evil attitude.

 

[Hikamaru]

Were you happy with all the new Dark-types in Gen 6?

Yes, especially Greninja and Pangoro to the point I used both in my X playthrough, and my Frogadier managed to fully evolve just in time to get Pancham to evolve so neat timing on my part. Malamar is also very fun, especially with Contrary, and it could have been better competitively if it hadn't have been for the fact it has no proper resistances.

 

[Otamajakushi]

Hmmm, I don't think we've been keeping up with any of the topics. I think I'll try to get us back on track. My recommendation, @Dedenne1, is to announce new topics. I typically go to the very back of the post to look for updates and such.

That said, this is our current topic on the first post:

Which Dark type is the most evil looking in your opinion? Why?

I think Houndoom/Mega Houndoom is pretty evil looking, and it is because of that fact that I especially would want it on my team. Look, he even has a little skull on his chest:

I think the horns and the tail add to the effect. It gives him a much more menacing persona and I find that awesome. That's amplified drastically with Mega Houndoom:

Awww, isn't he cool!

 

[LordGrizz]

Which Dark type is the most evil looking in your opinion? Why? Hmm well I'd be inclined to agree that Houndoom is probably the most evil looking dark type I'd have to also make an argument for my man Yveltal. Something about the red and black color scheme definitely makes you think of a denizen of hell what really cements this is (and don't laugh) the horns. As I said in my previous post the horns on a flying type creature is very reminiscent of Final Fantasy monsters. I don't know if that's why but when I saw those horns on the pokemon x boxart I was like "O yeah definitely evil". Turns out I was right and he is a pretty evil sounding pokemon. So my vote goes to the Demon Turkey Lord

Dark Type Pokemon of The Week

Yveltal
Yveltal, The Destruction Pokémon. When this legendary Pokémon's wings and tail feathers spread wide and glow red, it absorbs the life force of living creatures. When its life comes to an end, it absorbs the life energy of every living thing and turns into a cocoon once more.
​

Possible Questions:
Have you ever Yveltal in-game or competitively? Did you obtain one in gen 6?
Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
If you could change Yveltal in any way what would you change?
Did you see him as a dark/flying type?
Is he not one of the most awesome looking dark types your eyes have ever laid eyes on?
Other thoughts?

I....am so sorry.......Im going to try to be more active for one and for two look at that amazing Yveltal costume! LOOK AT IT! I mean.....*cough cough* its pretty cool you know.

 

[Otamajakushi]

Have you ever Yveltal in-game or competitively? Did you obtain one in gen 6?
I can't say that I've ever Yveltal'd in either of those situations, but I would be interested in having one on my team at some point. I'd probably name it Bacon. I do have one, though, but it's safe and sound in my living dex.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
Bacon. I like it! It's pretty fierce and I think if I were to encounter one for real, I'd be pretty amazed. I'd hug it.

If you could change Yveltal in any way what would you change?
I probably wouldn't make his tail a hand. Just sayin', it's a little weird. Hardly an issue though; it's pretty badass.

Did you see him as a dark/flying type?
Easily. Hands down.

Is he not one of the most awesome looking dark types your eyes have ever laid eyes on?
Definitely one of the coolest out there! Not #1 on my list, but it's on there. All of the dark type Pokemon are very cool looking in general, so I think it's one of the best types.

Other thoughts?
Bacon.

 

[Adam Levine]

What are your overall thoughts on Yveltal's design?

Simply put, it's a bloodthirsty chicken. It looks a bit like a vampire, which I like.

And who cannot like that delicious Shiny Yveltal?

Would you like quote notifications: Hella, I mean yes please.

Have you ever Yveltal in-game or competitively? Did you obtain one in gen 6?
I obtained 2 actually. My first Yveltal was obtained from a trade since I needed one to complete Pokedex and I had no Y version and that time. After owning a Y version myself, I kinda used it for in-game, but it was a one time thing. Okay, that sounds nasty. :P
Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
To be real honest, I'm still not a fan of its design...
If you could change Yveltal in any way what would you change?
The whole design, I just can't see it working. I don't even wanna look at that thing...
Did you see him as a dark/flying type?
Surprisingly yes, the design does scream Dark/Flying literally. Still a bad design, imo.
Is he not one of the most awesome looking dark types your eyes have ever laid eyes on?
Darkrai is a lot better than this Yveltal. Even Absol, a non-lengendary is better looking than Yveltal.

Dark Type Bi-Monthly Showcase

..........

Mandibuzz vs. Krookodile

Mandibuzz, The Bone Vulture Pokémon. Watching from the sky, they swoop to strike weakened Pokémon on the ground. They decorate themselves with bones. It makes a nest out of bones it finds. It grabs weakened prey in its talons and hauls it to its nest of bones

Krookodile, .The Intimidation Pokémon. Very violent Pokémon, they try to clamp down on anything that moves in front of their eyes. They never allow prey to escape. Their jaws are so powerful, they can crush the body of an automobile. It can expand the focus of its eyes, enabling it to see objects in the far distance as if it were using binoculars.

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?
Other Thoughts?


Thought we'd do another comparison for this week :D also i hate this coding...seriously its annoying i swear theres gonna be some grammatical issues cause i think i moved the definitions around atleast 10 times i mean first Krookodile's description was under Mandibuzz then there was just 2 identical Mandibuzz descriptions then i got a 404 error like umm ya probably messed up xD

OK QUICK QUESTION WHO WANTS QUOTE NOTIFICATIONS?
also ya member list is updated and the coding is fixed (again) in the op so ya sorry about that the member list looked really ugly haha

 

[Otamajakushi]

OK QUICK QUESTION WHO WANTS QUOTE NOTIFICATIONS?

I DO! :D

This is my favorite club, so I'd like to participate in any way I can.

Oh I didn't see the topic was new! I'll post my answer after someone replies again.

 

[Sun]

Which dark type do you think has the best design and why?
I prefer Krookodile, while Mandibuzz's macabre design is hella good too. Those stripes, shades, and snout. Hmmm... Perfect. (:
Who do you think might win in a battle?
While Mandibuzz has a type advantage for being a Flying-type, Krookodile is able to learn Thunder Fang and Rock-type moves. So Krookodile wins naturally.
Which dark type would you choose if you had to?
Naturally Krookodile.
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?
Krookodile has a respectable Speed stat, great Ability which is Moxie. It is also able to learn some moves for coverage
Which one is your overall favorite and why?
Krookodile! Why? That's actually personal. -blushes-

 

[Adam Levine]

Which dark type do you think has the best design and why?

Mandibuzz. Because it's a vulture with bones.

Who do you think might win in a battle?

Krookodile seems like the victor. It has a great offensive capability, whilst Mandibuzz is more defensive.

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?

True fact: In Gen V, their base stat totals are almost the same, just off by one.

Anyway, I think Mandibuzz is better. While Krookodile is really cool to use, Mandibuzz is one of those support Pokémon everybody needs. Also Mandibuzz is a great wall.

Which one is your overall favorite and why?

Mandibuzz. Again, because it looks so vile for a bird. And its ability to compete in the metagame well.

Would you like quote notifications: Yep

 

[Otamajakushi]

Which dark type do you think has the best design and why?
Krookodile because I thought the episodes it was in were really neat and I think it's a neat looking Pokemon. Mandibuzz is still very awesome looking though.

Who do you think might win in a battle?
Krookodile because I'm biased and can't give an objective answer. It's so awesome!

Which dark type would you choose if you had to?
I would choose Krookodile.

Which one is your overall favorite and why?
Krookodile, but I'd totally rock both on a team.

Hey Kaneki! Welcome to the club ill add you in like idk 2 seconds to an hour or so haha thanks for including the numbers!

 

[Killua]

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

 

[Otamajakushi]

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!

 

[Sun]

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.

 

[Lycanthropy]

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.

 

[Adam Levine]

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.
