Some people seem to think that dark was only suggested because of its ability to deal with lati@s. this is obviously a great part of this typing, especially on a sun team but it isn't the only reason. If you look back to capefeather's original post you will see that he suggested this typing because it has very few weakness, and coupled with electric or poison it gains some great resistances as well and, especially with electric, gives us some nice offensive coverage. The advantage of have a typing with fewer weaknesses is two-fold. One, it is more versatile, therefore giving us more leeway with which role we want to take on in later stages. And two, it gives us a better opportunity to fulfill more than one role at once, opening up more team slots for other threats that could be useful on a sun team.
