Dark Types in Competitive Pokemon.

Dark had a strong start in Gen 2 with it's strong immunity to Psychic and powerful move Pursuit.
In Gen 6 when Knock Off was significantly buffed, and Steel types lost their Dark resistance, the power and prevalence of Dark types skyrocketed.
This is sane. Let's explore Dark types throughout the years.

Mom said it's my turn to quote the entire video in the comment section
-
Unaware vs Mold Breaker is just "I negate your stat boosts!" "I negate your negating!"
-
I believe Krookodile has a fair claim at joining the horse council, due to its long snout and once standing on all 4 of its legs.
-
I'm glad Magcargo got into the Horse Council before this biased and prejudiced decision against High Horsepower was enacted.
-
I’m appalled that you failed to mention the one dark type that was outstanding in its field: Cacturne
-
If High-Horsepower isn't enough to verify as a horse, then what is? This is a slippery slope for the Council.
-
Gen 1 was truly a dark time for dark types.
-
Can’t wait for the Alolan Muk section
-
can't wait for the stellar types in competitive pokémon
-
I love the move bat’n’pass. Love how it lets bats escape.
-
I sure do hope Iron Mugulis doesn't take advantage of this whole horse situation somehow
-
I'm LOVING the debacle about the distribution of high horsepower, which is one of gen 8's decision that got me really confused
-
Ready to strap in for another hour about why TTar is the GOAT 😤
-
My favorite dark type Pokémon is Pursuit and Knock off
-
Krookodile is clearly just trying to claim horse beneighfits.
-
You ever think about how Gen 9 gave Tinted Lens to Lokix, a physical attacker with Dark STAB and Knock Off, which are already two of the easiest to spam moves and types in the entire franchise, and there's half a dozen other Dark types introduced in that same generation who are even better than it?
-
I heard Darkrai wants in on the Horse Council, since he learns the move Night"mare". What a fall from grace, just like Dark Void
-
Fellow enjoyers of the Jimothy Coolothy channel, let it be known that Stakataka is on his way to claim a spot on the horse council. He is just moving extremely slowly due to his base speed.
-
Dark has been one of the strongest Pokemon types.

Some of the most fun in early Gen 6 was running Mandibuzz because so many newer players didn't know how Foul Play worked (or that Mandibuzz ran it) and just got obliterated after setting up their SD on Scizor/Pinsir/Metagross/Charizard. Good times, good times.
