Malamar. Inkay is a cute little pre-evo and Malamar is a nice step up in terms of cool. I also really like the method for it's evolution and as terrible as Dark/Psychic is, I still think it's a pretty cool pairing.
X and Y are great games for mono type runs since they have the biggest regional dex of any games at a combined total of 457 (apart from Sword and Shield that is, they have 664)
I love the Kalos games, so so much. I know it hasn’t been too long but I can’t wait until these games inevitably get a reboot. I’m standing right behind them! ^w^
When they strike a balance with their newer generations in upcoming years >>> I think having too much pokemon ends up hurting them but also making it so that you can *only* use pokemon that are apart of the new gen isn’t as fun as having extra variety. Though preferably more pokemon that generally aren’t found as often in other gens brought to the new games would be good too since the regular zubat cave encounter gets stale quick
For those who don't know, dark type was created in gen II because in red, blue, amd yellow, nothing was super effective against psychic, but bug, and ghost which I believe was bugged anyway. Thats why the gen II Eeveelutions are dark and psychic
Psychic had no weakness in gen 1. The only ghost types from gen 1 were also poison and would get shredded before they moved, and there was only 2 bug attacking moves with were abysmal even with the crap defense of most psychic types, not to mention half the bugs were poison, so they too got shredded
I've always heard yveltal pronounced as E-vil-tall because dark=evil. Also the ultimate weapon firing on itself is because lysandre is mad you beat him and wants to kill you with it
dark type has some of the coolest pokemon. except maybe the alolan meowth line or raticate. i dont like alolas dark type variants. but most dark types are really cool you should do steel type in hgss next
I love the dark type in general probably in the top 5 types in my opinion My personal top 3 are: 3. Croocadile 2. Umbreon 1. Tyranitar Oh. And it's Ya-vul-tol. HIS NAME. IS YAVULTOL ( props if you get that reference )
in the pokemon anime (sub) darp type is actually translated to evil type so i think its safe to say they mean evil when they say dark instead of literal darkness
In reality I don't think any pokemon is born bad. The things they experience make them bad. I just think dark types are just more easily influenced into being bad because they are natural born pranksters
It's Ya val tal using a sort of batman voice. IT ONLY WORKS IF U USE THE BATMAN VOICE!!! Also why did u have flamethrower on a tyranitar? Literally any physical rock move that was at least 40 base power would have been better. If u need calcs, u get 2x from stab Not to mention that tyranitar's physical attack stat is almost twice the much as the special attack stat.
Not quite, Stab is a multiplier of 1.5x and the SpAtt stat of Tyranitar is roughly 75% of the Attack Stat, Taking into account Super Effective on Flamethrower with the stat difference that then means it reaches a Power of 135 on particularly Grass and Steel Types which usually resist Rock Type Moves where as Crunch with Stab has a Power of 120, Mixed Sets also allows you to take on Pokémon with say a naturarly high regular Defense Stat... The nature of Tyranitar in this run might also play a role in the decision
If you picked yveltal you would have had 2 pseudo legendarys and a legendary basically being so OP that those 3 members could have soloed the rest of the run without the help of the others
@@Amelia4111 I mean every person reading this knows exactly what it means none of them said it though since there is already way too many people annoying everyone with their corrections and honestly I haven't used a single. or, how can you stand that?
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE DARK TYPES????
Malamar. Inkay is a cute little pre-evo and Malamar is a nice step up in terms of cool. I also really like the method for it's evolution and as terrible as Dark/Psychic is, I still think it's a pretty cool pairing.
Definitely Sneasel and Weavile
honchkrow and weavile
Weavile!!
Hydreigon and tyranitar
X and Y are great games for mono type runs since they have the biggest regional dex of any games at a combined total of 457 (apart from Sword and Shield that is, they have 664)
So much variety and value in every corner of that region. Only wish it were slightly harder and those two games would be perfect.
I love the Kalos games, so so much. I know it hasn’t been too long but I can’t wait until these games inevitably get a reboot. I’m standing right behind them! ^w^
And its also the biggest region in pokemon
@@kitkett_ which I see as a negative tbh, there are some awesome routes and cities, but several of them were pretty bland and forgettable imo

11:50 “This is by far the most evil thing that I have seen in any game”
*Me, finding another uncatchable shiny Starly in Brilliant Diamond:* -_-
Excuse me, *Another?*
Mindy: *laughs*
Dawn coming back and finding the shiny: 🤷♂️
originally in the japanese versions of pokemon was referred to as the Evil type so i feel Dark types are embodiments or evil/mischievousness
For those who don't know, dark type was created in gen II because in red, blue, amd yellow, nothing was super effective against psychic, but bug, and ghost which I believe was bugged anyway. Thats why the gen II Eeveelutions are dark and psychic
Yeah psychic used to be so OP
Psychic had no weakness in gen 1. The only ghost types from gen 1 were also poison and would get shredded before they moved, and there was only 2 bug attacking moves with were abysmal even with the crap defense of most psychic types, not to mention half the bugs were poison, so they too got shredded
Fun fact: you can catch a wild hydreigon at victory road, except it’s a sky encounter and is like a 5% of finding it lol
I remember catching one and forgetting to save.
Yeah was gonna go for it but just did the zweilous for speed
Understandable, wouldn’t wanna accidentally lose a pokemon or the encounter lol
I've always heard yveltal pronounced as E-vil-tall because dark=evil. Also the ultimate weapon firing on itself is because lysandre is mad you beat him and wants to kill you with it
I always pronounced it E-vel-tal. Cause that just made sense to my brain. Yveltal just sounds like that to me.
yah-vul-tal
@@SilverAceOfSpades SAY IT RIGHT!
dark type has some of the coolest pokemon. except maybe the alolan meowth line or raticate. i dont like alolas dark type variants. but most dark types are really cool
you should do steel type in hgss next
at least alolan raticate is cooler than regular raticate
Alolan Muk vibing in the background monching on toxic waste and the tapus
Dark has the best pokemon like Ash greninja and the greatest pokemon of all time umbrion
Finally someone uses hydreigon to its full potential. Great video.
I love the dark type in general probably in the top 5 types in my opinion
My personal top 3 are:
3. Croocadile
2. Umbreon
1. Tyranitar
Oh. And it's Ya-vul-tol. HIS NAME. IS YAVULTOL ( props if you get that reference )
Mandjtv
KROOKODILE, NOT F*CKING CROOCADILE! YVELTAL IS GENDERLESS, NOT A HE! AND *THAT IS NOT HOW YOU SAY THE NAME! IT'S EE-VEL-TAL, NOT F*CKING YA-VUL-TOL!*
Viola's Vivillon using infestation still haunts em in my dreams
its actually brutal
Great video
Greninja and Tyranitar are my favorite, so it's always fun to watch them in a playthrough
That first gym fight is the embodiment of the saying: "If violence doesn't work, you aren't using enough of it"
Sometimes you just need to attack more
Have you tried just hitting them harder?
ive been binge watching so many of your videos and they dont get boring its a good time bro
I really appreciate that
Dark type is evil type. If you see raw Japanese version of anime it mentions dark as evil type.
hydreigon, incredibly based. too bad it evolves so late...
Well it's only a pseudo legendary after all 😂😂
Like every gen 5 pokemon
At least you can get a Hydreigon at Victory Road.
damn there are a lot of cute first stage dark types that turn into really badass looking pokemon upon evoloution
I just realized that storm throw is an amazing move for searching for skorupi with battle armor. Slay the horde members until one doesnt get crit
viola is not only the hardest kalos gym leader, she is the ONLY hard gym leader
in the pokemon anime (sub) darp type is actually translated to evil type so i think its safe to say they mean evil when they say dark instead of literal darkness
Yeah makes sense. Seems like they might've wanted to changed the translation at some point but gotta stick with it I guess
Other way around, its evil type translated to dark type, the original language is Japanese so that's the correct term
I'm currently doing a challenge mode run in B2 with Dark types and you're right, Drapion is a beast.
I think Dark in Pokemon is more evil since in Japanese its referred to as "Aku type" since Aku = Evil (I'm some sense)
That makes sense since alot of dark types are pranksters
I was so excited for the Bisharp being named Bruce only for you to never call them that :'(
I know that’s my bad lmao
Amazing video! So good to see dark type being used, a lot of very good pokemon in it! Thanks for all your hard work!!!
Appreciate you :)
Evil Sir . Dark type is Known as Evil typing in Japanese Dub.
Dark type meaning
Love the vids keep up the good work
as a hardore greninja fan I screamed in glee when you chose froakie
Dark type DOES mean evil, not darkness.
The Probopass didnt live because of Sturdy, but yes it has Sturdy, same thing essentially. Good video though, love this typing
This game has the easiest boss battles then has the most difficult random trainers.
Dark types have a mix of good and bad Pokémon
In reality I don't think any pokemon is born bad. The things they experience make them bad. I just think dark types are just more easily influenced into being bad because they are natural born pranksters
Then there is Pangoro, who is literally the trope of bad friends making you a bad person as a Pokémon.
7:07 you have Ground type too . Or not
I was doing my own dark type only challenge in ultra moon when i found this and this was realy entertaining
It’s good to know that my two favorite types, bug and poison, are in the bottom 5 of popularity lol oh well 🤷🏼♂️
A great poketuber once said: “DARK! DARK! DARK! DARK! DARK!”
12:28 Yah-vel-tal, according to a poketubers that most people know XD
IT'S EE-VEL-TAL, NOT YAH-VEL-TAL! STOP GETTING THE FIRST PART WRONG!
7:01 it's Jigglypuff as seen from above
I understood that reference
I loved your krookodile in this video because my name is Caleb so I thought it was pretty cool you nicknamed it caleb
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO QUINN UPLOAD BABYYYYYYYYYY
the dark type is known as the evil type in the original games so it likely means evil and my fav dark type is Tyranitar
Yee-Vell-Tall Yveltal
it's Yah-Vull-Tall
@@Pepeutra NO, THAT IS NOT HOW YOU SAY IT! READ THE COMMENT! THE FIRST PART OF THE NAME IS RIGHT! WHAT YOU HAVE IS WRONG!
@@Amelia4111 cope
Imo no Pokémon should evolve after lvl 60
6:09 My boy Ramon
Love your vids
greninja is in top 10 water types and to 10 dark types
hey. i’m japanese, and the original japanese name for dark before translation was あく、meaning evil. hope this helps
Ee-vel-tuhl. That's how I pronounce it, and I think they said it like that in the anime too
Before translation into English, dark types are called evil type
It's Ya val tal using a sort of batman voice. IT ONLY WORKS IF U USE THE BATMAN VOICE!!!
Also why did u have flamethrower on a tyranitar? Literally any physical rock move that was at least 40 base power would have been better.
If u need calcs, u get 2x from stab

The nature of Tyranitar in this run might also play a role in the decision
^^ this was exactly my thought process. Had spatt boost nature if I remember correctly and high spatt IVs as well
@@voguefurret I didn't realise stab was 1.5. Thanks for explaining.
No, no, no! It's ee vel tall! You have the first part wrong!
The pronunciation of that dark legendary Pokemon is Ya-vel-tal.
No, it's ee-vel-tal!
i just realized something... ash is technically the smartest champion because he leaves so no one can challenge him and take his title
it is evil. dark is a mis-translation and evil is a better translation
Great work as always!
Appreciate it :3
YESSSS MORE NUZLOCKES
My favorite dark type is greninja
Good choice
Actually (🤓), the Dark type in Japan is known as the "Evil type", so i guess this answers your question.
goated youtuber
A special tyranitar vs cryogonal
The only time cryogenic beats t tar.
*E-well-tall*
Best dark type : Go
the only reason dark type was made was to balance out the OP psychic types from gen 1.
Dark means evil, it's literally called the evil type in Japan 🤷♂️
QUINN UPLOAD 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
bruce take it or leave it
DADDY Q: ... brad
I miss the moustache:(
If you picked yveltal you would have had 2 pseudo legendarys and a legendary basically being so OP that those 3 members could have soloed the rest of the run without the help of the others
Ya they would've crushed even more than our team even did
Legendaries, not legendarys!

@@Amelia4111 wtf is wrong with wrong spelling, everyone does mistakes :/
@@JoetadXD *ALL MISTAKES ARE MADE TO BE FIXED, NOT LEFT OUT! AND STOP F*CKING REPLYING TO ME!*

My brother’s name is Caleb, what a coincidence…
I named him after your brother

Hello mister, have a good day :)

Yeah opted to get tyranatar instead which is a Y exclusive. And we picked up eevee on the route with hounder
@@Quinnjamin I know, it's just that houndoom is a great special attacker that isn't weak to fairy
