Hey all, I forgot to put MysticReads in the description. It should be there now!
Unrelated question Mystic, are you still considering making a "Subscribers ideal teams" video?
@@AngelPerez-tu1nk there's a possibility yeah!
@@MysticUmbreon Awesom! Not hoping I get the chance, but seeing other fans' ideal teams could give new perspectives!
Drapion is underrated! I used one in Shining Pearl and it's a monster. Also I have a 100iv Drapion in Pokemon Go that rips almost any opponent to shreds.
And it only has one weakness last time I checked
Drapion Was Apart Of My Champion Team In BDSP
FINALLY! Finally someone smart and remembers that Drapion exists
@@daltonoakleyjr391yeah one weakness 1x! Thats op!
Let’s do Bug types next, those’ll be interesting to see 🐜 🐞
I agree bug next please
Heracross, Scizor, Volcarona. List done. xD
Competitive stans: "Heracross Heracross Heracross Heracross Heracross."
Remove Genesect from the old list and it's new list
Love bug pokemon. I did a beedrill only in oras and it was awesome. Mega beedrill for the fucking in oh what a beast he is
I feel like Drapion could’ve replaced Crawdaunt or at Least made it as an honorable mention.
It has base 500 stats with 90 physical attack.
It’s most interesting quality is that it has access to the ability sniper which powers up crits substantially. It has Cross Poison and Night slash for stab which those moves make it more likely to get a crit.
You could also run swords dance if you really want to 1-2 hit pretty much everything.
It gets great coverage with moves like the elemental fangs,X-scissor,brick break,EQ, or even Iron Tail or Aerial ace.
It’s also a little physically bulky with a 110 defense stat and can out speed a lot of what an opponent will throw out with a 95 speed stat.
Drapion is ass compared to the mighty destroyer of worlds that is Crawdaunt, don't EVER disrespect his majesty again
@@gabrielhelms2040🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! Ok Crawdnaut is cool but Drpaion solis all of these Pokemon on this list
He also has 1 weakness
@@Oscorpior99 have you ever played competitive?
@@gabrielhelms2040 yes
Tyranitar is the definition of a defensive powerhouse! he single handedly defeated Ultra Necrozma in Ultra Sun and managed to sustain a hit or two from it without fainting and the battle ended in a draw
yeah but a Level 1 Rattata vs Ultra Necrozma... You know what I'm saying right
Defiant is not just great against sticky web teams. You can get the most out of this ability if you can punish defog attempts. The evasion drop activates defiant.
Don't forget going against pokemon with intimidate
I find Reckless better due to being paired with Obstagoon’s obstruct, Double edge and left overs and you got a Pokémon with great offensive and defensive balance. Pair that with dig and a move of your choice and you can go through an opponent’s team without switching much.
I feel like Honorable Mentions should start occurring before the number 1 spot. And Greninja's definitely one that could have been here. It's ability Protean makes it amazing! (Now I know Protean can make it not a dark type but that's besides the point)
Gren is not in gen 8
@@lewalliser7623 Top 3 if it was available?
Gen 8 and 9 sort of are ruining pokemon for me. Not looking for Scarlett and Violet.
@@rboss5919 gren is not top 3 but a clean 1 if it was available
Greninja???? Drapion needs more love
Knock off adaptability choice band crawdaunt is Lowkey one of my favorite things of all time
Intimatde and Moxie are the amazing abilities given by dark type.
Dark type Pokémon are probably my favorite type of Pokémon
Another point for tyranitar would be having the ability to create sandstorms, which would cause trouble for opponents plus having a mega evolution form.
Tyran Attar is the best
So happy seeing my boy bisharp get some love, already hoped it would be on the list
Obstagoon became my favorite Pokémon immediately for sword and shield. Easy to get, solid base stats, great abilities, and a great move pool.
I've used half of the Pokémon on this list, namely Obstagoon, Incineroar, Crawdaunt, Krookodile, and Weavile in Showdown. So I can say that this list is pretty solid all around, and it actually makes me want to use the others, too. That doesn't usually happen for me in a type.
So yeah, the Dark type is a very solid one. Though a personal honorable mention from me does go to Honchkrow, my favorite Dark type. Throw together Super Luck or Moxie, a Scope Lens or a Choice Scarf, an Attack stat of 125, and some great moves like Night Slash and Brave Bird, and this Big Boss Pokémon is a powerful force not to be reckoned with. Easily one of my favorite Pokémon right there.
Some video ideas:

I've been watching your vids for years man, thank you for all the great content you make!
Weavile is the reason I got 2nd place in a Pokemon tournament back in highschool. Granted, this was 10+ years ago so seeing how it's still relevant makes me happy
Great video as always Mystic. I'm realty enjoying the revamped Top 10 Strongest series ❤, We started out on the Dragon type's and now on the Dark type's, Only 8 more type's left, Here are the next upcoming top 10 strongest type's to work on next:
Fairy
Poison
Ground
Ice
Rock
Bug
Flying
Normal
Good video. Thanks for putting in work!
Weavile
Honchkrow
Skuntank
Grimsnarl
Tyranitar
Houndoom
Obstagoon
Krookodile
Crawduant are my favourite dark type Pokemon
Awesome Video Mystic Umbreon!!!!!
You should try Normal Type; that would be very interesting
I am blown away Greninja wasn't on the list!
Love the video and keep up the great work
My girl Weavile made it to number 1 baby!!!
With that said, Weavile serves as a great lancer compared to the description Mystic gave it. Don't run heavy boots or choice scarf. Run Expert belt instead. Catch an Impish nature Sneasel and then run Swords Dance/Honed Claw, Ice Punch, Night Slash, and Brick Break for Coverage. Weavile with this move set will have an 11/18 type advantage with massive damage boost with Expert Belt boosting super effective moves.
Def, Atk, and Speed EV training will allow this Mon to tank some fighting type moves as well. HonedClaw is perfect for a slight boost in Atk and excellent in boost Accuracy.
It's not exactly "massive" when u only get a 1.2 boost. Say you have 2× super effective ice punch into something: 75 × 1.5 (stab) × 2 (super effective) × 1.2 (expert belt) = 270. That's assuming you get a super effective hit, since you need that to even get the boost. You're better off running hdb, band, life orb, or scarf with adamant nature than holding expert belt for such a small power boost that isn't even reliable."11/18" types super effectively is nice but what about all the dual typings? Tbh weaviles job isn't really to sweep, just knock off whatever it can and take care of lando and garchomp. Knock off, ice punch, ice shard, low kick is probably the best moves etc although that's just for me personally
Also who tf runs defense evs on weavile 💀💀💀💀
Also you would only ever run hone claws if you're using triple axle. Your set doesn't even use any moves that can miss
@@abidali4527 I do. I like having that extra Def and when you train EV for Speed, Atk, and Def you get a well rounded mon that can take on even some fighting types. The 'Choice' items are great at boosting Speed or Atk and what have you. However, I don't care limiting myself to one move then withdraw and put back into play to use another move. 20% boost from the Expert Belt is plenty and if you remember the types you have an advantage against that is very helpful against most enemies.
Hone Claws is a great option in case you come across an opponent who is weird and uses double team or has high evade. Further, my build can make Weavile a more Tanky sweeper than you think. Ice Shard? Who needs Priority when there are so few who can out speed a Weavile? Granted Ice Shard on Weavile does have STAB 60 power when used, but STAB Ice Punch easy hits 112.5. Admittedly 'Knock Off' is a good choice. But Nightslash is not a bad one either.
I'm sure we can agree to disagree and just go with our own preferred builds.
@@dikayevertear3509 but weavile isn't "bulky". It's frail af, so you might as well capitalise on it and run max atk and speed. Ice shard as priority is to grab kills on chipped scarf mons and also scale shot garchomp. Although tbf ur right, agree to disagree.
12:34 These Pokémon grouped together like this unironically looks like a ragtag gang of villains.
CRAWDAUNT??? Are you kidding me? Over Drapion? Over Mandibuzz and Hydreigon? Wow
Definitely love Grimsnarl was on my very first Sword Playthru team when I first got the game back in late 2019
My man. Love this list
Even though it's not in SwSh/BDSP, I gotta give an honorable mention to my favorite dark type (and favourite Pokemon): Greninja.
Greninja isone of the most broken Pokemon in Gen 6 OU thanks to Protean.
With Protean, every coverage move Gren has will be STAB:
- Low Kick for walls such as Blissey
- HP Fire for Scizor and Lucario
- Shadow Sneak for Rapid Spin users
- Gunk Shot for Fairy types
- Spikes for Electric types/ Volt Switch
The list goes on and on.
If this list isn't restricted to SwSh/BDSP OU, Greninja will be in top 5 (even top 3)
Call it overrated all you want, but you can't deny that the Kalos ninja-frog is powerful enough to deserve that spot.
Respect, Greninja should be on here
Umbreon better be here 😂
I respect your list, not bad. As much as I love weavile I couldn't put it that high. I would probably put it in in 4th behind incineroar, tyranitar, and grimsnarl. I personally think they offer more utility beyond a glass cannon. Great video though
if the list is talking competitively, weavile is currently one of the strongest offensive mons in OU, so definitely above all mentioned mons, except maybe ttar, but viability rankings put him higher than ttar
the only mon id put above him because of doubles is incineroar, since the guy is basically best mon, not just best dark type out there
@@nbassasin8092 I respect your opinion. I guess if we're talking singles i would put weavile higher because offensive mons really shine there but im thinking in doubles when I think competitive. And in a doubles setting I would make weavile 4th best dark type. Incineroar, ttar, and grimsnarl just has so much more to offer. But then again these are our opinion and those can change based on play styles
@@KenKashi7 this is not my opinion this is the fact the same was your reply is fact
In doubles you are most certainly rigjt about what you just wrote, but your original comment did not mention doubles, so I was assuming generally
But weavile is behind those guys in doubles so you werent wrong on that
But if we make synthesis of both, id say that is the most correct way, and that way weavile is second or third
What I mean by that is combine how good they are in both and divide by how bad they are
Incinerora is the goar in doubles but not si good in singles. However, he is so good in doubles that he deserves number 1
Ttar is beas in both, so id say 2
And grimm is niche in singles and good in doubles, but weavile is top tier in singles while decent in douvles so id put him 3
@@nbassasin8092 okay, yeah I agree

I’ve been a fan of Sneasel all the way back when I was playing GS and today Sneasel/Weavile are my favorites still.
1:06 Obstagoon is my favorite Galarian form. My favorite move it uses is Snarl
2:00 I hope it'll be in the top ten non legendary Normal types
3:04 Also, Mandibuzz uses Bone Rush to counterattack Electric types
4:08 It also uses Rock Tomb or Stone Edge to counterattack Bug and Ice type Pokemon
5:01 I wanted Hydreigon to be in the list. Also it's an honorable mention for the top ten non legendary dragon types
5:42 Don't forget about Dragon Pulse, Crunch, Tri Attack (which might burn, paralyze or freeze the opponent), Surf, and Flamethrower or Fire Blast
6:21 An honorable mention for the top ten non legendary water types
6:47 Don't forget about Bubble Beam which might lower the target's speed and a critical Night Slash
7:23 Bisharp is one of the honorable mentions for the top ten non legendary steel types
7:55 Also it uses a critical Night Slash, Stone Edge to counterattack Fire types and X Scissors
8:24 I bet it'll be one of the top ten non legendary Fairy types
9:20 Both Tyranitar and Hydreigon are two of my favorite Pseudo Legendaries
10:00 Don't forget it uses Fire fang and Thunder fang to counterattack Bug, Grass, Steel and Water types. Stone Edge is my favorite move that Tyranitar uses
10:53 Don't forget it uses Cross Chop to counterattack Rock types and it's fromer signature move Darkest Lariat
11:56 Don't forget about Ice Beam or Blizzard, Night Slash and Dark Pulse
12:25 Honorable mentions I think are Umbreon, Absol, Greninja, Sableye from top ten non legendary ghost types, Honchkrow that has Insomnia to keep it from falling asleep, Spiritomb which uses Hypnosis plus Dream Eater combination, Malamar with the Contrary ability to reverse the negative effect of using Superpower, Sharpedo and Drapion
12:39 At least whether Bug or Fairy will be next obviously. Can you please do the video next week? Also if you do Bug types, can you please do Rock types after it (since Tyranitar is the only Rock type we saw out of the top ten non legendary Pokemon videos) ?
Obstagoon shiny form is amazing.
Ain't Absol one of the worst dark types in the game? At least a contender. Same with Sableye without its mega.
Honorable mentions:
Spiritomb
Sharpedo
Alolan Muk
Umbreon
Greninja
I like how he used the Johto Journeys lyric part "It's a whole new world we'll live in, but we still got take catch em all" nostalgia.
LETS GO! weavile is my favorite for that exact reason 😏
Glad . U r back
Nice 👌 list mystic
I love dark types, but this video made me realize just how many of them have quad weaknesses.
I am stunned that two pokemon didn't get mentioned.
Alolan Muk and Scrafty.
Both of them have good abilities, can take hits, and can hit back harder.
Both of them should be on the list
Oh yeah these dark types are so cool and I'm just glad they're pretty strong and good overall
No Greninja? That thing was really dangerous with Protean and Ash-Greninja version. It often got banned.
Shame Umbreon wasn't on here, but you still did well with this list.
Mandibuzz is my favorite gen 5 pokemon. I've always been interested in turkey vultures which Mandibuzz is based on.
I am very happy with this list. I was expecting a few entries so not many surprises.
Please Bug types next. Or Fairy types
The thing about the fairy type is that is that it makes sense for it to be last as it is the newest type….
@@the-angel-of-light-gardevoir8 I guess
Definitely excited. I’m an evil type Pokémon trainer.
Wake up, new vid. Nice 👌
- Best Dark Dual Types : Mega Sableye, Overqwil, Drapion, Alolan Muk, Mega Houndoom, and Mandibuzz, Tyranitar.
- Best Pure Dark Type : Darkrai, Mega Absol, Zoroark.
- Random Dark Dual Types : Sharpedo, Mega Gyarados, Crawdaunt, Krookodile.
Here’s a challenge, top 10 dual type
Shadypenguinn has a really good defensive hydriegon set from back in the day 😂
I might use some of these when I get Pokémon violet
Can we do a strongest legendary video? Always been wondering who is the best out of emeral or platinum, etc
YESSS it makes me feel good that Bisharp is atleast in the top 5
Flying types next, that should be interesting.
BISHARP IN THE TOP 5!? LET'S GO
I’m sure someone has already pointed this out, but you left in two takes of the mandibuzz outro as you were transitioning to the number 8 spot.
Ground types next please
I cant believe umbreon didn't make the list.
I know Mighteyena isn’t the best but it’s probably my favorite dark type I’ve used I really only play gen 3 tho
I wish the evolved froms of the regional could exist in the original forms as well and i wish the regional forms were removed as well
I wouldnt give weavile the #1 spot its easily out classed by a mach punch.
Dark is probs my favorite type, and Krookadile is my favorite pokemon. I always wear aviators so krookadile just clicks with me xD
Can you change the umbreon intro for countdown? It's good and all but it's just kinda too long as countdown and little annoying since it's been used for more than a year i think but it's okay if u don't want to ,it's just mo .
I love this channel
What's the name of his what-if channel I can't find it in the description
Thought I'd see a swords dance Absol in the bottom!
tyranitar is my favorite. So cool
umbreon take the cake on this one, especially when it had toxic
Nobody is talking about a Team killer: morpeko is a electric-dark Pokémon with an exceptional attack and speed, it can learn lots of coverage and if it has aura wheel have fun seeing it going faster than speed of light, i Made a monotype with him using aura wheel, ice fang, stompting trantum and protect. It is a beast, i think that he would deserved an honorific mention
Scrafty, Greninja and Honchkrow are some of my face dark types
The outtro for mandibuzz was painful
My favorite Pokemon is Number 1 This is an Absolute W
Can we talk about how insane the blackthorn gym would be if they made a let’s go johto game
I’m surprised that Greninja isn’t on the list
What's the soundtrack playing in top 9?
My favorite dark type pokemon are Incineroar, Bisharp, Weavile, Obstagoon, Grimmsnarl, Krookodile, Greninja and Urshifu.
Praying best boi Houndoom makes the cut!
Lil sad that drapion wasn't on the list
do the bug types next
consider my expectations subverted honestly thought Greninja would be a tiop contender
Flying next please 😁
But I think it speaks volumes that it’s only here today.
Hisuan Samurott, Incineroar, Obstagoon, Bisharp, Grimmsnarl, Spiritomb, Drapion, Alolan Muk, Hydreigon and Tyranitar
How was Umbreon left off a Mystic Umbreon dark list? Lol
What’s the best dark Pokémon in violet? I haven’t got anyone to trade with
U serious asking this king your kingambit .
I like Tyranatar, Absol, Weavile, Scrafty, Krookadile, Sableye, and Grimmsnarl.
Scraggy should of been on the list good defences and can set up with dragon dance I’d put it around 7 and move krokodile up
Anyone knows soundtrack playing in 2 minutes and 10 seconds in video?
How about Fairy types next?
We did it boys, Bisharp is on the list
The list is cool ! I agree with almost everything. But, NO GRENINJA ! Protean is one of the BEST ABILITIES ! Being able to switch to types and getting a stab for each and every move - HUGE DEAL !
Zoroark also could have been in the list because of illusion.
zoroark sucks in pvp. team preview makes it a lot easier to predict what's a zoroark and what isn't
I’m pretty sure it’s just based on the sword and shield meta and unfortunately greninja isn’t available… but if it was it would definitely be top 3!
@@thomaslykins8616 Yah , Maybe
@@kylereimatanguihan9731 True. Without team preview zoroark would be an absolute pain to deal with.
@@SLSmartMind at least on the list lol
Ttar before inciniroar for sure, even if he got more weaknesses but he is overall more tanky and hits harder then any other dark mons.
Hold up...Greninja ain't here, I'm actually surprised
Kinda mad about Umbreon but I’ll give it a shot
It’s alright, Umbreon will always be number 1 in my heart
Weavile sees focus sash
Throws on ice skates
The thumbnail : when your brother say to trade again after pokemon evolved by trade but you don't make trade again and run from server be like
I really thought Greninja would be 1st.
Even though dark is greninjas secondary typing i think it could’ve been here
