I think the dark typing is there to protect Tristan from Prankster; in theory, the only real weakness of Tristan’s awful priority spam (assuming its moves don’t all have a priority bracket above Fake Out) is another Pokémon that can hit it with priority status, off of a base speed that is most likely higher than 5
I think the dark type is less of a meta pick and more of a thematic one, as you’ve probably heard the dark type in Japanese is the evil type and it comes with a lot of moves designed to be annoying like taunt and embargo as such it’s the perfect fit for a Pokémon designed to be as annoying as possible
the dark typing i like to think is there simply for astetic reasons. the usefulness and defensiveness of the typing doesnt matter when the oponent never gets to attack anyways. how many times do you think your attack will land when your paralyzed, frozen, infatuated, + more and -6 acuracy. defensiveness doesnt matter if your oponent cant do anything
We cant forget about ShadyPenguinn and Patterz! Shady is my second favorite member of what i call the PokeTuber Mount Rushmore (coming right after Vinny)
Glad you liked it man!
Enjoyed the heck out of it 😊👍

i did not think of that, the fact that prankster does not work with a dark type does make a lot of sense
Honestly took the typing as “dark humor” when it was dark type.

👀 wow and I was just thinking about weakness and strengths on the Pokémon side never even thought of the fact that dark is considered evil
Yeah the dark type definitely fits an extremely annoying troll Pokémon.
whoops its my turn!

Prankster doesn't work on dark types.

The group you mentioned should include patterrz Gameboy luke shadypenguin and short tempered. They often colab for then we fight videos.
Absolutely I just did not want to go for to long but they are AMAZING people to watch around the Pokémon community as well
