New Dark type run

[Renoskage]

So im starting a dark type run through of reborn and havent really paid much attention to a lot of dark type. what are some decent ones to grab? i will also be posting my updates here as they happen.

Currently my team is

Froakie

Stunky

Poochyeena

Any tips or advice would be appreciated

prankster purrloin/liepard can be useful vs bosses with sand attack/torment/fake out.

Houndour/ Houndoom is pretty alright and available kind of early on

Zorua is cool too also available early on

Murkrow/ Honcrow is great also early on

Sneasel is pretty good but late game

Nuzleaf and Shiftry mid game

Carvana is ok

Crawdaunt is pretty epic

Drapion is ok

Sandile/ Krokorok/ Krookadile is great but available from Tanzan

Scraggy/ Scrafty available after you get the dull key

Inkay/ Malamar available from Byxbysion

Those are the best I can think of

You can also grab Pawniard later on unless you get lucky with your Mystery Egg. Zorua can be found in various alleyways, and is decent. Its frailness definitely limits it

Sableye and Spiritomb can also be a good grab later on. It will be good to start looking for them right after your finished with the valley full of crystals. Although you could go for Spiritomb as soon as you gain access to the Wasteland and obtained an odd keystone from mining.

Also once you get a Drapion (and trust me you'll need it later) you might as well replace the Skuntank, since Skuntank only learns 2 offensive poison type moves which are pretty weak. Also Drapion could be trained to be a good defensive wall which is pretty nice.
