 ==Characteristics==
-===Species and Characteristics===
-Dark Pokemon are usually identified with wicked, cruel, or ominous features about them. Plenty examples include overly violent and feral temperaments, relentless cunning, belligerent behavior, to unrestrained mischievousness, and to being associated with misfortune and ill omen. Dark Type is a mix of what can be described as an ''elemental type'' and a ''species type''; while its characteristics are powered by "dark" power stemming from negativity or wicked intent, many Pokemon of Dark types are often dual typed, having a variety of species in all environments and being.
-Anatomically, Dark Pokemon will have functions that majorly aid in offense in harmful ways, from having enlarged jaws and claws, large imposing physics of various designs, and body parts that aid in cruel and unusual ways. Those who have less of such examples of physical ability are usually very cunning and intelligent, instead relying on pack preying or tricking victims. They also have a degree of high cognitive aptitude, giving them more of an edge through acute awareness and even to psuedo-psychic powers. It is also likely through their states of mind and way of thinking that they are immune to any sort of psychic attacks.
-Attacks of the Dark Type range from attacks of dishonest means, to stealing, taunting, and luring in opponents with fake outs, feral resorts, such as biting and cheap shots, actions driven by negative emotions, and to even ones of metaphysical power, utilizing dark energy.
 ===Defense===
 Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Bisharp}}, {{p|Drapion}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{p|Mandibuzz}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}. On the plus side, Dark-types have an immunity to {{type|Psychic}} moves. Additionally, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type|Ghost}} have no weaknesses to any moves of any type (excluding {{type|Fighting}} moves used under immunity-negating conditions such as {{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}} or {{a|Scrappy}}), as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. Meanwhile, if a Pokémon with the types Psychic and Dark were to exist, then it would have no resistances while having a double weakness to Bug-type and an immunity to Psychic (It would also be the only Pokémon with Bug as a sole weakness).
