Which Pokemon do you think should be Dark type (or in part)?

[RTLfan]

Just what the title says.

 

[Leaf_Ranger]

Huntail, the Zubat line Glalie.
Huntail and Zubat's line because of their environment only and Glalie because it just seems like an Ice-type Frieza that could eat a human in one bite.

PS: Mewtwo! The first movie Mewtwo could have a Psychic-Dark form due to its original intent.

In general, there are very, very few Pokémon whose types I would change or think should be changed. Other than Eternatus, none leap to mind for the Dark type, though.

(Seriously though, while it's nice to finally have a proper Poison-type Legendary, it's less cool when nothing about that Legendary really does anything thematically with that Poison typing. And I think Dark just makes more sense for Eternatus - it's chaotic and destructive, and literally generates a phenomenon called the "Darkest Day." I halfway suspect that they made it a Poison-type just for battling purposes, as we know they do sometimes. Not to imply that I think they ever considered making it a Dark-type, but from a defensive standpoint, a hypothetical Dark/Dragon-type would get slaughtered by Fairy-types, whereas giving any Dragon-type access to STAB Poison moves gives it a solid option for fighting back. The funny thing in all of this though is that in the TCG, starting with the Sword & Shield era, Poison-types have yet again been regrouped, this time under the Darkness type. So in the TCG, Eternatus is a Dark-type.)

I've heard quite a lot of people say that Celebi and Delcatty should be part dark....

 

[Aozora]

I could see Seviper and maybe Luxray being part dark, just based on their appearances and some of the moves they can learn.

Just curious, but why? Nothing about their design suggests evilness or darkness in my opinion. Seems like a bit of a random type change; I think Fairy would fit more thematically and I’ve actually seen more people suggest they be Fairy (I’ve never actually seen anyone suggest they be part Dark).

Apparently their eyes are creepy. I've heard the Celebi suggestion from a guy who was very creepy himself.....super nice attitude but a dark guy on the inside.

 

[Fan of Jarrus]

Eternatus because it is brutal and affected the Galar Region. Dark/Poison to not make it weak to fairies.

 

[Daenerys]

Ariados, Seviper, Luxray, Huntail. Even a couple Generation 1 Pokemon like Meowth and Arbok could've been retcon'd into being half Dark in Generation 2.

 

[Venomaid]

Ekans and Arbok, also Muk before its variant form came out. Girafarig would've been better as half Dark.

Totally forgot about Girafarig. I definitely think it coulda been half Dark and half Psychic. Maybe then people would've been more motivated to use it since it would've only had one weakness in Gen 2 iirc (Bug) and it's not like Bug types were that strong back then anyways.

 

[Nichole the Otter]

I'd probably say with what was above and go with Girafarig. It's the black-coloured back half that looks more Dark-type than Psychic-type to me.

Girafarig would've been better as half Dark.

That was the original plan, back when it was a pushmi-pullyu reference. In hindsight, I wonder why they changed its type.

 

[Tood]

Glalie because it just seems like an Ice-type Frieza that could eat a human in one bite.

I'm seconding Glalie. I tend to associate biting moves with Dark types, and it is pretty intimidating.

I legitimately thought it was part Dark-type up until ORAS.
