In the trivia section for [[Electric (type)]], it's mentioned that ''Because Electric's only weakness is to Ground, a pure Electric-type Pokémon with Levitate would have no weaknesses unless Gravity is used or the foe has Mold Breaker.'' Worth mentioning for Dark/Poison with Levitate? [[User:MaskedFalcon|MaskedFalcon]] 11:55, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

::What I meant was, suppose we had a combination Dark/Poison type with Levitate. Since Dark's Fighting weakness is canceled by Poison's resistance and Poison's Psychic weakness is nullified by Dark's immunity, the Pokémon would have no weaknesses.

---Then should it be under the first information ? like on Steel?. or reverse --[[User:Darkmtbg2|Darkmtbg2]]?
== English names of Gen 6 Pokemon ==
The english names of Maika, Karamanero, and Goronda have been revealed to be Inkay, Malamar, and Pangoro. We probably need to update that. [[User:Dralcax|(O++O) Dralcax]] ([[User talk:Dralcax|talk]]) 16:24, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
== Oblivion Wing ==
{{p|Yveltal}}'s signature move, {{m|Oblivion Wing}}, was confirmed as being a Dark-type move. Can someone who has access to edit this page add Oblivion Wing to the list of moves? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 19:56, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

== Dark/Psychic ==
"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)."
This typing currently Exists with Inkay and Malamar - [[User:BludDMess|Awesomeness ]] ([[User talk:BludDMess|talk]]) 23:30, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
Yeah,i noticed this too! Can someone please change it? - ([[User:Ishlishl|Ishlishl]] ([[User talk:Ishlishl|talk]]) 23:52, 28 August 2013 (UTC))
== Gen VI table ==
Steel no longer resists Dark-type attacks. Same goes for {{type|Ghost}} attacks. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 01:32, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
== "It would also be the only Pokémon with Bug as a sole weakness" ==
This sentence makes no sense, it should be "They are also be the only two Pokémon with Bug as a sole weakness". Please go fix it because I can't edit the article (despite the fact that protection from all the Type articles should have been lifted after the retconned type chart was revealed). --<b>[[User talk:Relicant|<span style="color:#EBEBEB;">The</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|<span style="color:#F08030;">Truth</span>]]</b> aka Relicant 12:10, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
== "Additionally, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and Ghost-type have no weaknesses to any moves of any type" ==
This is no longer true as of the upcoming Generation VI, Sableye and Spiritomb are weak to the new Fairy type. [[User:Poke&#39;fan07|Poke&#39;fan07]] ([[User talk:Poke&#39;fan07|talk]]) 04:44, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
== Japanese name translation ==
I believe that given the kind of Pokémon and moves that are of the Dark type, a more accurate translation of あくタイプ would be "Deviant type" or "Wicked type" instead of "Evil type". あく has multiple meanings due to cultural differences, which means "evil" is not necessarily the correct one.

==Possible Psychic and Ghost Pokemon==
Are we going to mention the fact that Hoopa might be real, and if it is, then that it is both Psychic and Ghost type, making it the first and so far only Pokemon to be 4x weak to Dark? [[User:Rithvikkiran|Rithvikkiran]] ([[User talk:Rithvikkiran|talk]]) 20:46, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
:You can be pretty certain that we won't mention that "Hoopa '''might''' be real". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:51, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
:To answer your question: "Not until it's officially confirmed." I don't know why Bulbapedia has this policy and refuses to host any info about Hoopa, its Unbound form, or Volcanion (and until last summer, {{p|Diancie}} too), but that's the way it is. —<font face="Segoe UI"><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em">[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="#fff">The</font>]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="red">Best</font>]]</span></font> 00:44, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

== Gen 7 introducing the fewest dark types ==
Is this really correct to claim when gen 7 also introduced 6 dark type Alolans? [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - literally it doesn&#39;t stand for anything]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 09:35, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
:They count as Gen I Pokémon, because their alternative forms of those Pokémon not entirely new Pokémon.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#EBC600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#EBC600">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#D8B600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D8B600">ire</span>]] 09:48, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
::But they weren't introduced in generation I even if they are technically gen I Pokémon. The specific forms were introduced in generation 7 and that's the wording of the article [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - literally it doesn&#39;t stand for anything]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 22:31, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
== Not actually specialists ==
I doubt Matt and Shelly are actually specialists... in some games they ended up getting all Dark-type just because GF decided to give to the teams just Poochyena line + the boss main line, and is more a case that Sharpedo is Dark too, even because in other games they got other Pokémon. Actually the specialism is something that should be part of the character, not something that should change between games (unless is estabilished by the lore, like Jasmine that changed specialism or Mustard that is a former one). A specialist should be considered so if officially stated to be one or if 100% of his Pokémon are of that type (or at least part of the family line of that type). But in this case, Matt and Shelly got Golbat and Muk in other games, highly suggesting they had a full Dark-type team in some games just for coincidence (and is odd that te TA have the admins specialists and the TM don't, despite they being counterparts), and the initial letters that say they are specialist only in some games is weird. So, my suggestion is to consider specialist only if they actually have a full monotype team in ALL their appearence if never stated to be specialist. For Shadow Triad... it really count? Is more a group or a trainer class then an actual character... and just one of the 3 have a full Dark-type team... so... this one is kinda weird... I personally never considered them as a characters, but more similar to the TF admins of X and Y (the ones dressed in white), that despite being high ranking members, aren't true characters. But for Matt and Shelly (and maybe Ariana too since she got a Murkrow (for Poison)) I doubt they should be counted as specialists, since they don't use 1 type in ALL their appearence, neither are stated to be specialists. That's what I think at least, I mean.. would be like consider Agatha a Poison specialist only in gen 1 because she have a full Poison-type team even if later is confirmed she is a Ghost-type and then consider her a Ghost specialists only in other games. The specialism is something that should remain instact for all the series (unless, again, is not stated that that character changed or dropped the specialism, like Jasmine or Mustard)--[[User:Zarxiel94|Zarxiel94]] ([[User talk:Zarxiel94|talk]]) 18:27, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
