Revision as of 07:35, 6 January 2016
The Dark type (あくタイプ Aku taipu in Japanese) is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.
The Dark type was added in Generation II to cause a weakness on Psychic types, which had the weaknesses to Bug type (the moves were really weak to cause a major damage) and Ghost type (the only move was Night Shade).
Many Dark type Pokémon tend to be aggresive, mysterious, malicious, cruel and clever, but a Dark-type Pokémon doesn't have to necessarily be evil, like Absol.
It's hard for a Dark-type Pokémon to form bonds of friendship with its Trainer, but when having one, it will never break, being really faithful to its Trainer and protecting it anytime.
The Dark-type Pokémon, along with the Poison types, are mostly used by the criminal organizations.
The known famous Dark-type Trainers are: Karen, the fourth member of the Elite Four of the Johto Pokémon League; Sidney, the first member of the Elite Four of the Hoenn Pokémon League and Grimsley, a member of the Elite Four of the Unova Pokémon League.

Relations with other types
- They're strong against the Psychic type because of the fears, and the fears can affect one's rationality and concentration. The darkness of one's being/psyche is also explored to utterly be taxing to those who can read minds and hearts, as it is regarded to be a place to never cross into and can violate one's own, and to where ones of unusual nature are not easily understood.
- They're strong against the Ghost type because evil can damage the soul.
- They're weak against the Fighting type because philosophically, a warrior must overcome their fears - represented by Dark. The Fighting type also supposedly represents justice, which opposes evil, also represented by Dark types.
- They're weak against the Bug type because bugs operate well in darkness.
- They're weak against the Fairy type because fairies represent light and the darkness disappears with light. Furthermore, light is a metaphor for goodness, which always triumphs over evil in fiction.
Trivia
- If a Dual-type Pokémon is both Dark and Ghost type, both types cancel out each other's weaknesses with their resistances, leaving Pokémon like Spiritomb and Sableye with no weakness apart from Fairy.
- So far this is the only Pokémon type not to be used in a Pokémon Gym.
- The Dark type has the same efficacies over other types as the Ghost type.
