Yeah, I didn't add legends to my mono-Dark team in Showdown. So in this case, you could replace Yveltal with Hydreigon, and Darkrai with Honchkrow/Mandibuzz, depending on if you want a more offensive or defensive role with Tailwind support (also for coverage against Fighting and Bug types, which can be problematic for your Dark team). In my case, I have Trick/U-Turn Zoroark to deceive opponents and scramble their items (I've gotten lots of rage quits from the enemy with it, and it sets up for my other Pokemon to take it from there while Zoroark receives the enemy's item, which is usually beneficial). Hell, Zoroark's Special Attack is promising if it's ever backed into a corner, but its low defensive capabilities don't make it reliable for direct combat. Scrafty is also somewhat slept on; its Fighting-Type coverage fending off Bugs who seek to prey on the rest of Dark team, with Shed Skin as an ability and Rest/Dragon Dance as its moves, as well as Drain Punch and Leftovers for item, it's going to be hard to put down against Pokémon who utilize status conditions (like Toxapex and Grimmsnarl) and is a solid physical attacker. However, you shouldn't depend on Shed Skin to save you *everytime*, and its relatively low speed makes it a necessity to set up first. This is where Greninja likely comes in, because it doesn't need to set up.
@@randomdudeonyoutube3504 I think I see what you're getting at with tyranitar and it learning earthquake but it isn't stab and that's also no excuse to not use hydreigon which has dark pulse power comparable with hoopa unbound if used correctly
I would say Drapion would be an even better option if built and used correctly. If Fell Stinger is timed correctly, your physical attack will skyrocket (+3 stages to be accurate). So factor that with a move such as Night Slash or Cross Poison, and a Scope Lens to boot. Then I'd say you have a solid plan B if you are running out of tricks in your bag.
@@johnherrera5261 honestly I would've ran Oblivion Wing, Dark Pulse/Foul Play, Phantom Force, and Heat Wave/Psychic. Assault vest as the item and boom. Coverage, slight niche, and overall aggressive Yveltal

The closest thing to a Dark Pokemon team is my Alpha Sapphire version. I have to look it up again. It wasn't hard especially I had Mightyana with 4 Fang moves Ice Thunder Fire and Crunch Absol Sharpedo that's all I can remember.
I really love this team the most! It really feels like a team for people (like me) who don’t play for the top number 1, and I really enjoy how it feels like if you don’t enjoy a Pokémon or two on the team you could just switch the out with someone else. I don’t know what really makes this so different with the other best teams but I really enjoyed this the most! Keep up your amazing work!!
Lemme...suggest a weavile set.... Give that thing a focus sash to live a hit. Then go with 1. Triple Axle, it's attack increases per turn and is amazing to knock out sashed pokemons. 2. Swords Dance, let them hit you pull up swords Dance and you live cause of focus sash then completely annihilate the opponents by the amazing speed it have 3. Ice shard, just throw this for good measure to counter priority moves that will try to deal with that remaining 1hp 4. Beat up, it hits exactly the amount of times according to how many Pokemon it have left + it's stab and have the potential to hit 6 times along with that massive attack with swords dance Use the other team for coverage but weavile 60% of the time can sweep teams without support. Fake out isn't a bad choice instead of ice shard either.
@@MdHossain-ve5kb No one suspects the Physical Greninja, plus the attack boost from Power Up Punch comes in handy. I know it isnt necessarily good but it isnt bad.
Buenos Dayes I personally know that specs gren ash gren is supremely better than scarf/life orb/groundium/poisinium/waterium z physical gren and is the biggest offensive threat in the Ou meta game the meta somehow still can't evolve to counter it properly but good set
I like your team, but me personally I don’t like using mythical/legendary pkm on my teams. So if you were to replace your mythical/legendary what would you use?
This came out on my b-day and i love that it's for dark types and includes my fav darkrai! I'm so happy, excellent team! I should try this out sometime for my dark type gym.
Bisharp should be on the list. It is a powerful beast with a strong 125 base attack and defiant ability. It is also one of the few dark types that can check Fairy types thanks to its secondary steel typing.
For a looooooong time. my favorite greninja set of all time is the hazard pivot: (bearing in mind that i dont play pokemon for a long time, i dont remember well the max numbers) Max hp evs, max speed evs, 4 spatk Timid Protean - Spikes -Toxic Spikes - Scald - nightslash; Strat: set up the hazards while playing with preditions. Poison resists grass and ground is imune to electric, so water weakness is covered. dark is imune to psychic, ground and poison resist bug and fighting, water resist water and so on. this way i could have 2 layers of toxic spikes, 2 or 3 of spikes, and greninja was able to survive. after all that, scald away!!!
I have a very similar build for my Greninja and I think he's just incredible. I still use Protean, Expert Belt and max IVs in speed, but I actually divide the remainder between Attack and Special attack (2/3rd to Special, 1/3rd to Attack) to make him somewhat of a mixed attacker. Reason why for the investment in physical attack comes from one of the moves I picked for him, which are Surf, Dark Pulse, Aerial Ace and Hidden Power (Ground). Surf and Dark Pulse are self-explanatory, but I picked Aerial Ace for Fighting, Grass and Bug Types, all of whom Greninja is normally weak against without Protean, thereby serving as a useful trap against anyone who thinks they're smarter than you, while also being immune to Ground types (for a little trolling until you blast them with Surf). Plus, having a never-miss move can come in handy for more evasive foes or when you absolutely need to land a final hit. Similarly, Hidden Power (Ground) is a trap for Electric types, while also adding coverage against Poison and Steel. With this set up, Greninja is Super Effective against 11 out of 18 types (just like Mystic's Greninja) and has better coverage against all but Fairy in terms of Greninja's normal weaknesses that people will try to throw at you, and when facing Fairy types, you can just use any other move to remove the Dark typing.
Zoroark, Tyrannitar, Krookodile, Greninja, Umbreon, Hydreigon. Pairing a Krookodile with maxed speed and attack with the moxie ability to Tyrannitar could make it a good revenge sweeper. Umbreon could be a stall tactic with toxic, moonlight, meanlook, and either protect or dark pulse. Zoroark is a fast hitting glass cannon that I can teach extrasensory in case of fighting types, and a special attack type covering tank of a hydreigon with acrobatics would also help along with earthpower in case I switch in during Tyrannitar’s sandstorm. Tailwind would also be a good help especially if I can max out his speed ev and use it to set up my slower team. And Greninja would be my bait hitter for Zoroark as well as another speedster setting up a toxic hit.
That's my issue as well. He prioritized flinching and confusion when there are better moved in general for type coverage and dealing damage as a special sweeper
My first playthrough of Black 2 was a mono-Dark type run. My ace was Liepard (not the strongest I know, but my fav Unova pokemon), and I also had Scrafty, Mandibuzz, Bisharp, Zoroark and Hydreigon. Honestly, Liepard did a great job, and Scrafty anf Hydreigon truly were the MVPs. Zoroark’s ability didn’t really do a lot, because it always transforms into another Dark-type, so opponents will use the same type of moves. I really wanna do a Moon/Ultra Sun playthrough some time with only Ghost types!
I'm not sure about having a Sandstorm pokemon alongside 5 others that all suffer from Sandstorm. I don't know if it's Sableye or Houndoom you're saving for later, but there's both of those and also Absol that get Megas while still being Dark. Admittedly Absol isn't that great, but as a fast physical attacker with plenty of critical hits before Mega-Evolving for Magic Bounce. Alternatively you can have more of the team able to eat the sand - like Krookodile, Bisharp, giving Greninja a Ground/Rock/Steel move etc. I'm glad you included Weavile there, it's one of my all-time favourites throughout all the games, alongside Mawile, Rhydon and Floatzel.
I'd prefer to use Synchronize on Umbreon to inflict status on opposing team. Could save you a turn since your opponent will likely try to cripple Umbreon as well. And a bit more physical bulk with Bold nature since majority of moves effective on Umbreon are physical (Bug and Fighting).
I prefer a different set for Umbreon to be used as a sweeper. The set I run is this: Umbreon @ Leftovers Ability: Synchronize Sassy Nature EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SpD - Curse - Heal Bell - Moonlight - Payback Curse is used to set up for later, as Umbreon won't be taking much damage anyways. Moonlight + Leftovers equals great healing. Heal Bell is used to get rid of annoying status moves and by having Synchronize on top of that, the opponent will get the same status condition and Umbreon will be able to heal itself of any status afterwards. And finally, Payback is its go-to move for damage. By having Curse and the spread of max Attack and HP EVs and Leftovers along with Moonlight, Umbreon will be bulky enough to take hits and deal out double the damage with Payback, which will do crazy damage thanks to Curse and the investment of EVs in Attack. It's a set that works wonders for me every time I use it and I never have trouble with it.
Umbreon is honestly such an amazing Pokémon. It’s an amazing special wall, but also decent physical wall as well, with decent HP as well. I’ve seen my Umbreon take out entire teams of UBERs almost single handedly. It’s moves are: Toxic, Moonlight, Curse, & Payback/Protect. I switch often between the last 2, because Payback works amazingly with Curse, plus it’s nice to have at least one attacking move, yet Protect is also great for stalling.
Dark can be offensive or stall. I think the fighting type weakness would be better taken care of by mega Sableye as a wall and magic bounce could prevent hazards set up as you have no defogger. The added bonus being it's only weakness is fairy. Mega Absol also has magic bounce and a mixed set takes out most starters and it can't be stalled with status. Mega Sharpedo could also be a mixed wall breaker. The latter two being important as I think this team would struggle with Clefable, Chansey, and Porygon 2. Also, Mandibuzz competes with Umbreon as a wall as it has less weaknesses and Mega Sableye can be a Sp. De. Wall. No need to make Sableye physically defensive after wil o wisp then Mandibuzz takes over as a physical wall. Also Bisharp or Honchcrow is needed for priority sucker punch. Defiant and moxie are great abilities respectively and Honchcrow has access to superpower which ruins Chansey's day. But Bisharp handles fairies and knock off + iron head can also screw up chansey. Gliscor is the issue for those two. Pair one with Sharpedo or Greninja.n
As with all of these videos, I'm going to make a few changes since I have a few problems. These may not be better or the best, but I really have some problems with this team, so here we go: While Mega Tyranitar isn't bad, not having regular Tyranitar on your team is a big detriment. Replace Mega Tyranitar with Mega Sableye, and since Sableye will be your bulk machine, replace Umbreon, who's kinda trash in Ubers, with regular Tyranitar, who's both bulky and an amazing Dragon Dance sweeper. You did this with Xerneas, too, you're putting one of a Pokemon's best stats, and putting it to waste, in this case Yveltal's attack. You are also put 3 Special Flying type moves on it, that's way too repetitive. Replace Air Slash and Hurricane with good physical coverage moves, like Zen Headbutt, Dragon Claw/Dragon Rush, Return, Rock Slide, or U-Turn. This is just a preference, but maybe using a Battle Bond Greninja or Protean would be better, but that's just personal preference. Protean Greninja's still good and as viable, but I think Battle Bond Greninja's better. Also, again, physical move on Greninja, Protean or Battle Bond. Gunk Shot, Return, Rock Slide, U-Turn all work. I know Dark Void is on Darkrai for fan service and theme, but please use Hypnosis over it, they're the exact same move but Hypnosis is 5% more accurate. Other than that, good job.
I was actually looking things over, and I was thinking Hidden Power Steel, Scald/Waterfall, Dark Pulse/Night Slash, & Aerial Ace on the Protean gives it 17 Resistances/Immunities, & only loses 1 Super Effective type coverage from Mystic's choices, >.> What do you think?
Also weavile may be a glass canon but simply adding 'protect' on that set can make use of that pressure ability. Effectively functioning as a slightly worse variant of 'spite' but with the added bonus that weavile survives another round. (There are even more balls deep options for a pressure-stall set xD but I won't go there. dw) Personally I'm a bigger fan of 'night slash' on weavile than 'dark pulse' since weavile has highter attack stats and it crits. But that's up to preference :)
My umbreon (also my fav pokemon xD) is a tank set up with evs in def and spdef. Left overs. It uses moonlight, curse, payback, and heal bell. Works really well and when set up destroys most pokemon in 1 hit.
I think sniper drapion with a razor claw and high crit moves like night slash and cross poison would have made a good addition, especially for the strength against fair types.
Dark types are my all-time favorite with Poison close behind, but I'm not big on using legendaries so Toxic Spikes Drapion and Spiritomb, with Weavile, Tyranitar, Greninja, and Umbreon are my staple team
Tyranitar’s sand storm it is pretty dangerous so i would use it with a krookodile and maybe a bisharp (I don’t know, because even if his type is good against fairy and his ability is really usefull i have never seen one in singles). Another idea it would be use mega sableye (immune to fight moves and with magic bounce for enemy’s stealth rock or taunt) and not mega tyranitar. Also greninja really needs a poison move because there is no one who resists fairy (alolan muk is an option too)
I have nothing against Umbreon, even though Glaceon is my favorite eeveelution. While the moveset seems legitimate and competitive, what if you’re against a Steel type? You can’t poison it, so you either have to wait for someone to forfeit or use all the PP’s from each for your moves so you can use Struggle. (Then again, if it’s an Aegislash you’re facing, you’re probably dead).
If y'all are looking to use NON-LEGENDARIES for your Dark team, look no further. In this case, you could replace Yveltal with Hydreigon (for obvious reasons besides inducing Ghetsis PTSD into other players for a psychological edge), and Darkrai with Honchkrow/Mandibuzz, depending on if you want a more offensive or defensive role with Tailwind support (also for coverage against Fighting and Bug types, which can be problematic for your Dark team). I personally picked Mandibuzz due to its capability to withstand most attacks that would one-shot Honchkrow, especially if the opponent moves before your Dark/Flying-type when you're trying to utilize Tailwind. Roost is a MUST as it may take away your Flying-typing for that turn, but that would also temporarily lift super effectiveness from Rock-types while healing 50% of health. Keep in mind, it's ONE TURN, though. I'm not sure about you, but I have Trick/U-Turn Zoroark to deceive opponents and scramble their items (I've gotten lots of rage quits from the enemy with it, and it sets up for my other Pokemon to take it from there while Zoroark receives the enemy's item, which is usually beneficial) then retreat and switch out with another Pokémon. Hell, Zoroark's Special Attack is promising if it's ever backed into a corner, but its low defensive capabilities don't make it reliable for direct combat. If you're looking to use Trick with a Burn/Toxic Orb, Facade really comes in handy when the opponent you're facing has no item to switch with or if the Orb in your Zoroark's hand isn't crippling to the enemy (for example, Guts Obstagoon, in which case, don't use Trick.). Speaking of Obstagoon, that could actually prove to be a safe alternative to Zoroark; it still knows Trick, is relatively bulky, and once paired with Guts/Burn Orb/Bulk-Up, becomes a temporary tactically-offensive monster as long as it can withstand Burn damage, switching items with enemies to give them Burns while smacking aside those who Zoroark's Trick would have issues with. Scrafty is also somewhat slept on; I found success with this rather low-ranked Pokémon in OU due to its Fighting-Type coverage fending off Bugs who seek to prey on the rest of Dark team, with Shed Skin as an ability and Rest/Dragon Dance as its moves, as well as Drain Punch and Leftovers for item, it's going to be hard to put down against Pokémon who utilize status conditions (like Toxapex and Grimmsnarl) and is a solid physical attacker. However, you shouldn't depend on Shed Skin to save you *everytime*, and its relatively low speed makes it a necessity to set up first. This is where Greninja likely comes in, because it doesn't need to set up, especially if it has Battle Bond. With Greninja (especially one with Ice Beam) you wouldn't really need Weavile-- since Greninja is slightly more defensively capable in case you screw up, while being close enough in speed and power, so what do you need? Fairy-types are still going to be a HUGE problem, which is why I recommend Bisharp. STAB Iron Head ruins non-bulky Fairy-types and Sucker Punch ensures your relatively-slow Bisharp moves first to finish off or deal good damage to faster enemies in a pinch. Stone Edge removes the possibility of threats like Volcarona and Charizard, and if Fighting-types are a huge concern, Aerial Ace with Swords Dance is a safe route to go. Should a stat lower, ability Defiant evens it out by bolstering your Attack. Of course, just as safe is Drapion, the Poison/Dark-type with Sniper, Cross Poison and Night Slash ensures high critical hit ratio and little Fairies left alive. Toxic should wear down all others except Steel and Poison-types, which can be eliminated through Earthquake.
ב"ה The greninja will probably be better with extrasensory than withhidden power fighting. With two pokemon that are quadraple weak to fighting and only one that isn't weak to fighting, I believe that prioritizing counters to fighting pokemon is more important (and the added benefit of not being weak to fighting with greninja too is a realy nice one). Neither fairy moves nor fighting move are super efective against Alolan Muk, and it have stab moves that are super efective against fairy types, so perhaps it would be a nice addition to your team. Hydreigon is a pretty good attacker as well, though it is quadrupled weak to fairy. Perhaps it would be better to raplace weavile and umbreom with Hydreigon and Alolan Muk, for bettar defence against your weaknesses and a canon that isn't made of glass for offense.
Tyranitar's speed is not terribly low to the point it makes it a worthless status to invest on, I personally would have put maximum speed on him + dragon dance and spread the remaining ev's on attack and hp... I also think it would be better to switch stone edge for rock slide since the stone edge misses quite often, with his insane attack stat we don't need to rely on a move with 20% chance of missing just because it has a base power slightly higher... and take the iron head away for the dragon dance, that's usually how I run mega t-tar and most of the times it outspeeds and wrecks everything after a d-dance. Umbreon should definately have fou play, just put sub instead of the protect and invest on his defense instead of sp def to catch the opponent off guard thinking it is a special def set. On the greninja I would switch dark pulse for shadow ball so he can be immune to fighting types when he uses it and both of these moves give the same coverage anyway... An extrasensory instead of hp fighting also could be a good choice Idk. It is overall a good list, I just wish you didn't include legendaries cause it is a very obvious choice and they're not even allowed on competitive anyway
Yveltal could’ve easily rocked out with the moves Oblivion Wing Psychic Dark Pulse Shadow Ball Focus Blast And Darkrai with Dream Eater instead of Psychic so once it makes an opponent sleep, it can heal up and up its stats with Nasty Plot and continue to use Dream Eater and Dark Pulse
Go max speed Instead of hp and then go dragon dance to get around speed problems, gets you to around 370 speed. Forget iron head and crunch, iron head doesn’t hit anything you can’t hit neutral and then you don’t need crunch bc other mons will have dark moves. Ice punch hits everything that stone edge and eq can’t hit themselves. Also, you say that both the sand stream ability and ttar’s special stats won’t matter. It would be more appropriate to note that the sand actually boosts rock types special defense, so he has a deceivingly high special defense.
Leaving legendary pokemon off these best teams would make this a lot more interesting.
Definitely
@Hope Bagel not really, theres a reason tiers exist
Yeah, I didn't add legends to my mono-Dark team in Showdown. So in this case, you could replace Yveltal with Hydreigon, and Darkrai with Honchkrow/Mandibuzz, depending on if you want a more offensive or defensive role with Tailwind support (also for coverage against Fighting and Bug types, which can be problematic for your Dark team).

Umbreon: ...Wanna have a bad time
Game Theory- Why Umbreon is Sans
Lemme...suggest a weavile set....
Give that thing a focus sash to live a hit. Then go with
1. Triple Axle, it's attack increases per turn and is amazing to knock out sashed pokemons.
2. Swords Dance, let them hit you pull up swords Dance and you live cause of focus sash then completely annihilate the opponents by the amazing speed it have
3. Ice shard, just throw this for good measure to counter priority moves that will try to deal with that remaining 1hp
4. Beat up, it hits exactly the amount of times according to how many Pokemon it have left + it's stab and have the potential to hit 6 times along with that massive attack with swords dance
Use the other team for coverage but weavile 60% of the time can sweep teams without support.

My friend had a Hawlucha on his Ultra Moon and Y teams, and when we battled, it either got OH-KOed or barely did any damage
This came out on my b-day and i love that it's for dark types and includes my fav darkrai! I'm so happy, excellent team! I should try this out sometime for my dark type gym.
did you watch the video? Darkrai's not on the actual team.
I enjoy your opinion videos as you come across as super passionate, and makes watching these videos so much more exciting
Bisharp should be on the list. It is a powerful beast with a strong 125 base attack and defiant ability. It is also one of the few dark types that can check Fairy types thanks to its secondary steel typing.
I wasn’t on the steel list either 😣
For a looooooong time. my favorite greninja set of all time is the hazard pivot:
(bearing in mind that i dont play pokemon for a long time, i dont remember well the max numbers)
Max hp evs, max speed evs, 4 spatk
Timid
Protean
- Spikes
-Toxic Spikes
- Scald
- nightslash;
Strat: set up the hazards while playing with preditions. Poison resists grass and ground is imune to electric, so water weakness is covered. dark is imune to psychic, ground and poison resist bug and fighting, water resist water and so on. this way i could have 2 layers of toxic spikes, 2 or 3 of spikes, and greninja was able to survive. after all that, scald away!!!
3 of my favorite pokemon are here
Yveltal
Darkrai
Umbreon
Surprizingly dark isnt my fav type
Plzzz do bug
I have a very similar build for my Greninja and I think he's just incredible. I still use Protean, Expert Belt and max IVs in speed, but I actually divide the remainder between Attack and Special attack (2/3rd to Special, 1/3rd to Attack) to make him somewhat of a mixed attacker. Reason why for the investment in physical attack comes from one of the moves I picked for him, which are Surf, Dark Pulse, Aerial Ace and Hidden Power (Ground). Surf and Dark Pulse are self-explanatory, but I picked Aerial Ace for Fighting, Grass and Bug Types, all of whom Greninja is normally weak against without Protean, thereby serving as a useful trap against anyone who thinks they're smarter than you, while also being immune to Ground types (for a little trolling until you blast them with Surf). Plus, having a never-miss move can come in handy for more evasive foes or when you absolutely need to land a final hit. Similarly, Hidden Power (Ground) is a trap for Electric types, while also adding coverage against Poison and Steel.
With this set up, Greninja is Super Effective against 11 out of 18 types (just like Mystic's Greninja) and has better coverage against all but Fairy in terms of Greninja's normal weaknesses that people will try to throw at you, and when facing Fairy types, you can just use any other move to remove the Dark typing.
Incineroar would have been good due to intimidate, but I giess it's gets outclassed Tho. Good team I'll use soon thanks.
Yeah, you're darn right he gets outclassed. Incineroar's overrated
Um... the yveltal... dark pulse ow fb and mabye roost and make it lifeorb
Im down with it man. That moveset for umbreon is absolutely wild and would be frustrating as hell to deal with!
I think that set for Gredinja is really cool and unique. Props dude!
Which are the replacements for the legendaries? Maybe Hydreigon, Sableye, Spiritomb, Pangoro idk

Zoroark, Tyrannitar, Krookodile, Greninja, Umbreon, Hydreigon.
Pairing a Krookodile with maxed speed and attack with the moxie ability to Tyrannitar could make it a good revenge sweeper. Umbreon could be a stall tactic with toxic, moonlight, meanlook, and either protect or dark pulse. Zoroark is a fast hitting glass cannon that I can teach extrasensory in case of fighting types, and a special attack type covering tank of a hydreigon with acrobatics would also help along with earthpower in case I switch in during Tyrannitar’s sandstorm. Tailwind would also be a good help especially if I can max out his speed ev and use it to set up my slower team. And Greninja would be my bait hitter for Zoroark as well as another speedster setting up a toxic hit.
I'm glad you used umbreon because it's your channel's mascot, and that boi is a TANK ☺
Why would u have 3 different flying type moves on yveltal? Instead give him something like shadow ball or psychic!
That's my issue as well. He prioritized flinching and confusion when there are better moved in general for type coverage and dealing damage as a special sweeper
@@Amelia4111 calm dow ffs
Instead of a legit team with Hydreigon and zoroark you put 2 legendaries in there
shame on you
Hey Mystic!
I love fire types, but I can't find them that usefull in most situations while playing, so can you do a team best with fire types? 🔥 🔥
Why not extra sensory for greninja. It’s stronger than hidden power and can flinch
My first playthrough of Black 2 was a mono-Dark type run. My ace was Liepard (not the strongest I know, but my fav Unova pokemon), and I also had Scrafty, Mandibuzz, Bisharp, Zoroark and Hydreigon. Honestly, Liepard did a great job, and Scrafty anf Hydreigon truly were the MVPs. Zoroark’s ability didn’t really do a lot, because it always transforms into another Dark-type, so opponents will use the same type of moves. I really wanna do a Moon/Ultra Sun playthrough some time with only Ghost types!
Very nice team
I'm not sure about having a Sandstorm pokemon alongside 5 others that all suffer from Sandstorm. I don't know if it's Sableye or Houndoom you're saving for later, but there's both of those and also Absol that get Megas while still being Dark. Admittedly Absol isn't that great, but as a fast physical attacker with plenty of critical hits before Mega-Evolving for Magic Bounce. Alternatively you can have more of the team able to eat the sand - like Krookodile, Bisharp, giving Greninja a Ground/Rock/Steel move etc.
I'm glad you included Weavile there, it's one of my all-time favourites throughout all the games, alongside Mawile, Rhydon and Floatzel.
Interesting
Wait, where's zoroark
Agreed
I'll tell where it is. Not on this team.
I'd prefer to use Synchronize on Umbreon to inflict status on opposing team. Could save you a turn since your opponent will likely try to cripple Umbreon as well. And a bit more physical bulk with Bold nature since majority of moves effective on Umbreon are physical (Bug and Fighting).
I prefer a different set for Umbreon to be used as a sweeper. The set I run is this:
Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
Sassy Nature
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SpD
- Curse
- Heal Bell
- Moonlight
- Payback
Curse is used to set up for later, as Umbreon won't be taking much damage anyways. Moonlight + Leftovers equals great healing. Heal Bell is used to get rid of annoying status moves and by having Synchronize on top of that, the opponent will get the same status condition and Umbreon will be able to heal itself of any status afterwards. And finally, Payback is its go-to move for damage. By having Curse and the spread of max Attack and HP EVs and Leftovers along with Moonlight, Umbreon will be bulky enough to take hits and deal out double the damage with Payback, which will do crazy damage thanks to Curse and the investment of EVs in Attack. It's a set that works wonders for me every time I use it and I never have trouble with it.
Umbreon is honestly such an amazing Pokémon. It’s an amazing special wall, but also decent physical wall as well, with decent HP as well. I’ve seen my Umbreon take out entire teams of UBERs almost single handedly. It’s moves are: Toxic, Moonlight, Curse, & Payback/Protect. I switch often between the last 2, because Payback works amazingly with Curse, plus it’s nice to have at least one attacking move, yet Protect is also great for stalling.
Hmm what if all the evee evolution were in one pokemon ?
@elite13 however you want to see it
Come out with some more opinion videos always love seeing those
Dark can be offensive or stall. I think the fighting type weakness would be better taken care of by mega Sableye as a wall and magic bounce could prevent hazards set up as you have no defogger. The added bonus being it's only weakness is fairy. Mega Absol also has magic bounce and a mixed set takes out most starters and it can't be stalled with status. Mega Sharpedo could also be a mixed wall breaker. The latter two being important as I think this team would struggle with Clefable, Chansey, and Porygon 2. Also, Mandibuzz competes with Umbreon as a wall as it has less weaknesses and Mega Sableye can be a Sp. De. Wall. No need to make Sableye physically defensive after wil o wisp then Mandibuzz takes over as a physical wall. Also Bisharp or Honchcrow is needed for priority sucker punch. Defiant and moxie are great abilities respectively and Honchcrow has access to superpower which ruins Chansey's day. But Bisharp handles fairies and knock off + iron head can also screw up chansey. Gliscor is the issue for those two. Pair one with Sharpedo or Greninja.n
Do Steel next!
As with all of these videos, I'm going to make a few changes since I have a few problems. These may not be better or the best, but I really have some problems with this team, so here we go:
While Mega Tyranitar isn't bad, not having regular Tyranitar on your team is a big detriment. Replace Mega Tyranitar with Mega Sableye, and since Sableye will be your bulk machine, replace Umbreon, who's kinda trash in Ubers, with regular Tyranitar, who's both bulky and an amazing Dragon Dance sweeper.
You did this with Xerneas, too, you're putting one of a Pokemon's best stats, and putting it to waste, in this case Yveltal's attack. You are also put 3 Special Flying type moves on it, that's way too repetitive. Replace Air Slash and Hurricane with good physical coverage moves, like Zen Headbutt, Dragon Claw/Dragon Rush, Return, Rock Slide, or U-Turn.
This is just a preference, but maybe using a Battle Bond Greninja or Protean would be better, but that's just personal preference. Protean Greninja's still good and as viable, but I think Battle Bond Greninja's better. Also, again, physical move on Greninja, Protean or Battle Bond. Gunk Shot, Return, Rock Slide, U-Turn all work.
I know Dark Void is on Darkrai for fan service and theme, but please use Hypnosis over it, they're the exact same move but Hypnosis is 5% more accurate.
Other than that, good job.
I was actually looking things over, and I was thinking Hidden Power Steel, Scald/Waterfall, Dark Pulse/Night Slash, & Aerial Ace on the Protean gives it 17 Resistances/Immunities, & only loses 1 Super Effective type coverage from Mystic's choices, >.> What do you think?
Daisy Rose that's honestly a really good set, that works really well.
Thanks ^-^
Amy Moreau , dark void can effect all opponents in a battle, while hypnosis can only effect one
Also weavile may be a glass canon but simply adding 'protect' on that set can make use of that pressure ability. Effectively functioning as a slightly worse variant of 'spite' but with the added bonus that weavile survives another round.
(There are even more balls deep options for a pressure-stall set xD but I won't go there. dw)
Personally I'm a bigger fan of 'night slash' on weavile than 'dark pulse' since weavile has highter attack stats and it crits. But that's up to preference :)
My umbreon (also my fav pokemon xD) is a tank set up with evs in def and spdef. Left overs. It uses moonlight, curse, payback, and heal bell. Works really well and when set up destroys most pokemon in 1 hit.
I think sniper drapion with a razor claw and high crit moves like night slash and cross poison would have made a good addition, especially for the strength against fair types.
Dark types are my all-time favorite with Poison close behind, but I'm not big on using legendaries so Toxic Spikes Drapion and Spiritomb, with Weavile, Tyranitar, Greninja, and Umbreon are my staple team
I am looking forward to the normal team video.
Why not psychic and/or heat wave for Yveltal? For more type coverage...
Fairies are gonna have a field day my guy
I know mystic added darkrai with psychic but I'm surprised he didn't add malamar for his weakness of fighting
Tyranitar’s sand storm it is pretty dangerous so i would use it with a krookodile and maybe a bisharp
(I don’t know, because even if his type is good against fairy and his ability is really usefull i have never seen one in singles).
Another idea it would be use mega sableye (immune to fight moves and with magic bounce for enemy’s stealth rock or taunt) and not mega tyranitar.
Also greninja really needs a poison move because there is no one who resists fairy (alolan muk is an option too)
This team has very few type coverge like if you fight a fairy type you will lose
Can you use these teams
I have nothing against Umbreon, even though Glaceon is my favorite eeveelution. While the moveset seems legitimate and competitive, what if you’re against a Steel type? You can’t poison it, so you either have to wait for someone to forfeit or use all the PP’s from each for your moves so you can use Struggle. (Then again, if it’s an Aegislash you’re facing, you’re probably dead).

I was hoping for Krookidile; it has great abilities in intimidate and moxie and can serve as a stealth rock setter or a brutal physical attacker
Thanks for listening to me, Mystic! And thanks again for including T-Tar there.
Edit: WHERE IS INCINEROAR???
Incineroar's overrated trash
I love gengar that sucker punch is so fast and the hypnosis and dream eater combo Is amazing
If y'all are looking to use NON-LEGENDARIES for your Dark team, look no further.
In this case, you could replace Yveltal with Hydreigon (for obvious reasons besides inducing Ghetsis PTSD into other players for a psychological edge), and Darkrai with Honchkrow/Mandibuzz, depending on if you want a more offensive or defensive role with Tailwind support (also for coverage against Fighting and Bug types, which can be problematic for your Dark team). I personally picked Mandibuzz due to its capability to withstand most attacks that would one-shot Honchkrow, especially if the opponent moves before your Dark/Flying-type when you're trying to utilize Tailwind. Roost is a MUST as it may take away your Flying-typing for that turn, but that would also temporarily lift super effectiveness from Rock-types while healing 50% of health. Keep in mind, it's ONE TURN, though.
I'm not sure about you, but I have Trick/U-Turn Zoroark to deceive opponents and scramble their items (I've gotten lots of rage quits from the enemy with it, and it sets up for my other Pokemon to take it from there while Zoroark receives the enemy's item, which is usually beneficial) then retreat and switch out with another Pokémon. Hell, Zoroark's Special Attack is promising if it's ever backed into a corner, but its low defensive capabilities don't make it reliable for direct combat. If you're looking to use Trick with a Burn/Toxic Orb, Facade really comes in handy when the opponent you're facing has no item to switch with or if the Orb in your Zoroark's hand isn't crippling to the enemy (for example, Guts Obstagoon, in which case, don't use Trick.).
Speaking of Obstagoon, that could actually prove to be a safe alternative to Zoroark; it still knows Trick, is relatively bulky, and once paired with Guts/Burn Orb/Bulk-Up, becomes a temporary tactically-offensive monster as long as it can withstand Burn damage, switching items with enemies to give them Burns while smacking aside those who Zoroark's Trick would have issues with.
Scrafty is also somewhat slept on; I found success with this rather low-ranked Pokémon in OU due to its Fighting-Type coverage fending off Bugs who seek to prey on the rest of Dark team, with Shed Skin as an ability and Rest/Dragon Dance as its moves, as well as Drain Punch and Leftovers for item, it's going to be hard to put down against Pokémon who utilize status conditions (like Toxapex and Grimmsnarl) and is a solid physical attacker. However, you shouldn't depend on Shed Skin to save you *everytime*, and its relatively low speed makes it a necessity to set up first. This is where Greninja likely comes in, because it doesn't need to set up, especially if it has Battle Bond.
With Greninja (especially one with Ice Beam) you wouldn't really need Weavile-- since Greninja is slightly more defensively capable in case you screw up, while being close enough in speed and power, so what do you need? Fairy-types are still going to be a HUGE problem, which is why I recommend Bisharp. STAB Iron Head ruins non-bulky Fairy-types and Sucker Punch ensures your relatively-slow Bisharp moves first to finish off or deal good damage to faster enemies in a pinch. Stone Edge removes the possibility of threats like Volcarona and Charizard, and if Fighting-types are a huge concern, Aerial Ace with Swords Dance is a safe route to go. Should a stat lower, ability Defiant evens it out by bolstering your Attack.
Of course, just as safe is Drapion, the Poison/Dark-type with Sniper, Cross Poison and Night Slash ensures high critical hit ratio and little Fairies left alive. Toxic should wear down all others except Steel and Poison-types, which can be eliminated through Earthquake.

The greninja will probably be better with extrasensory than withhidden power fighting. With two pokemon that are quadraple weak to fighting and only one that isn't weak to fighting, I believe that prioritizing counters to fighting pokemon is more important (and the added benefit of not being weak to fighting with greninja too is a realy nice one).
Neither fairy moves nor fighting move are super efective against Alolan Muk, and it have stab moves that are super efective against fairy types, so perhaps it would be a nice addition to your team. Hydreigon is a pretty good attacker as well, though it is quadrupled weak to fairy. Perhaps it would be better to raplace weavile and umbreom with Hydreigon and Alolan Muk, for bettar defence against your weaknesses and a canon that isn't made of glass for offense.
I wanted to replicate the team for a playthrough but seeing how many legendary's are involved I couldn't do it
id love to see a bug type team. especially with forretress on it
Thanks so much, dark is my fav type and I will uses this team
My Dark Monotype Team(Without legendaries):
Tyranitar
Krookodile
Greninja
Grimmsnal
Zoroark
Hydreigon
YES WEAVILE MADE THE LIST!!
Umbreon is such a beast
Since I just read the Festival of Champions Manga. I can't see a Dark type team without Murkrow, Umbreon and Houndoom T.T
Was really hoping for Battle Bond!
5:53 Please explain? 😅 Did it happen in a video? Which one? Would love to see it. XD
Mystic Umbreon learns racism at his local library
No Krookodile:
"Lightly disappointed"
Krook King you should have put: Reality is often disappointed.
Great work I think Alolan Persian should added it was on my team in Pokemon Moon.
Tyranitar's speed is not terribly low to the point it makes it a worthless status to invest on, I personally would have put maximum speed on him + dragon dance and spread the remaining ev's on attack and hp... I also think it would be better to switch stone edge for rock slide since the stone edge misses quite often, with his insane attack stat we don't need to rely on a move with 20% chance of missing just because it has a base power slightly higher... and take the iron head away for the dragon dance, that's usually how I run mega t-tar and most of the times it outspeeds and wrecks everything after a d-dance.
Umbreon should definately have fou play, just put sub instead of the protect and invest on his defense instead of sp def to catch the opponent off guard thinking it is a special def set.
On the greninja I would switch dark pulse for shadow ball so he can be immune to fighting types when he uses it and both of these moves give the same coverage anyway... An extrasensory instead of hp fighting also could be a good choice Idk.
It is overall a good list, I just wish you didn't include legendaries cause it is a very obvious choice and they're not even allowed on competitive anyway
You have totally forgotten zoroak
13:32 mystic voice change and I thought a new person was talking.
now do the psychic type team next
Yveltal could’ve easily rocked out with the moves
Oblivion Wing
Psychic
Dark Pulse
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
And Darkrai with Dream Eater instead of Psychic so once it makes an opponent sleep, it can heal up and up its stats with Nasty Plot and continue to use Dream Eater and Dark Pulse
Go max speed Instead of hp and then go dragon dance to get around speed problems, gets you to around 370 speed. Forget iron head and crunch, iron head doesn’t hit anything you can’t hit neutral and then you don’t need crunch bc other mons will have dark moves. Ice punch hits everything that stone edge and eq can’t hit themselves. Also, you say that both the sand stream ability and ttar’s special stats won’t matter. It would be more appropriate to note that the sand actually boosts rock types special defense, so he has a deceivingly high special defense.
Battling Umbreon in the Battle Factory in the Battle Frontier in Gen 3 and Gen 4 really made me livid.
I’ve been playing x and y for a couple years now and had no idea that greninja had such an ability
Without even watching the video or seeing the thumbnail ima guess a certain Eeveelution is on this list
Gallade (mega prob) for psychic or fighting that thing is amazing imo
