Favorite Pokémon Tournament 2016: Dark (Sept. 20-27)

My absolute number one favorite Dark pokemon is definitely Umbreon. The bulkiest wall dark pokemon. It plays well, it looks cool, has a great move pool, and is really hard to KO. I also have a lot of great memories from playing with it back in G/S/C. Everytime I use an Umbreon, it's reliable to the max and I always feel safe with it on the battlefield, it often gives me breathing room to think about my next move and it's great for KO'ing pokemon that are normally troublesome to my team.

Honorable mentions that I voted for:

Tyranitar: I have great memories of building a Dragon Dance and Outrage Tyranitar back in HG/SS, had some fun times with that guy for a while.

Sableye and Spiritomb: I grouped these two for the same reason, they're both very reliable wall pokemon with a great type combination.

Scrafty: Moxie Scrafty with Drain Punch and Dragon Dance is an incredible wall pokemon that builds itself into a high powered tank, it's pretty impressive to play with.

Zoroark: Zoroark is what I enjoy calling the "Bluffing Pokemon", Illusion is by far one of my favorite meta trick abilities, it's so easy to sneak a KO in with Zoroark because of its ability.

Umbreon - It's as cute as bulky.

Absol - It had epic role in the first PMD games and has beautiful mega evolution

Zoroark - It was cool in the movie and has a funny ability.

When it comes to Dark types, here are the Pokemon I will vote for:
Sableye
Darkrai
Sandile line
Zorua line
Greninja

Voted for these three; the Murkrow, Houndour, and Deino lines.

Absol is pretty amazing :D

I love the Dark-type so choosing was tough, but I voted for Umbreon, Murkrow, Sneasel, Houndour, Krookodile and Malamar (and their evolutionary lines). Sneasel and Weavile are probably my favourites - Weavile was my instant favourite from Gen IV and I've always loved Sneasel's design and character. Houndoom as well is one of my favourite Pokémon for its design and strength - it was one of my powerhouses in Gen IV. The rest I like because they have badass or really cool designs or are good in battle (or both).

I'm sorry there's just too many cool Dark type Pokemon

I voted for -
The Houndour line
The Sneasel line
Absol
The Zorua line

I won't go into too much detail about my choices but apart from Houndour, the rest of these Pokemon have been my absolute favourites for sometime and thus they get my vote xD

Dark type isn't my favorite type but there are a couple gems for me: Mightyena and Umbreon. Mightyena has been a favorite of mine in the Dark type section since it came out in Gen 3. Umbreon is a more recent favorite of mine as I have started using it more competitively. The bulk is real! xD

Aw, can I resubmit? I should have done a write in with Sableye.

I love dark types! Definitely my favorite overall typing. Of course I only have a single favorite line and that is the Murkrow/Honchkrow line. I like the vibe they give off, and given how rare they are it's always exciting to encounter in-game.

Went for three families - Murkrow, Houndour and Sneasel! They all start off as very cute little guys and evolve into some very quirky and cool Pokémon, and also all have really interesting typings.

I've added a vote to Sableye for you, but make sure to pick all your favorites before submitting next time!

Voted for Scrafty and Hydreigon.
The former is my all time favourite Pokémon and the latter is a Pokémon that actually convinced on buying the Gen 5 games. Hydreigon's design and concept are both amazing and it's amazing to use in battles.

I actually like a lot of Dark-types.

Okay, I Voted for a lot of Pokemon this time:-

Umbreon
Sneasel/Weavile
Tyranitar
Absol
Darkrai
Purrloin/Liepard
Zorua/Zoroark

Pika Pika :chu:

I looove Malamar

Took a while to vote on this one but I'll now tell what I voted.

Umbreon and Murkrow line were the first ones I voted, since I do love Eeveelutions and badass Mafia-stereotype birds. I did also vote for every 5th Gen option (yet weirdly my vote for Scraggy's line didn't get registered) and all the 6th Gen ones except Yveltal, because I don't know why.

I voted for Houndoom!

Houndoom meant a lot to me when I was a child. I've always had a soft spot for dogs so when I saw Houndour in Pokemon Platinum, I knew I wanted it to be my strongest Pokemon. I was so proud of my Houndoom! I remember Houndoom being my first MVP in any Pokemon game, solely because I dedicated a lot of time to training it. Until the EXP share was changed, it remained my highest level Pokemon in any game. It was a Level 88 Houndoom which I remember always trying to talk about to my friends about how cool it was. Whilst I do regret calling it "Dark Queen" when I was 8, I guess that's what it meant to me when I was a kid! It was the royalty of my team.

Espeon
Sabeleye
Purrloin
Liepard
:)

OBOY, my favourite type.

I voted for Umbreon, Murkrow, Sneasel, Houndoom, and Tyranitar, with Umbreon being my absolute favourite. I've loved Dark-types for a long time, and I was also super hyped when I found that Eevee would have more evolutions. Umbreon's design, as well as its potential was enough to sell me on it, for sure.
