I like experimenting across a lot of different types, so here’s a Dark team I got.

Long ago there were the Dark Warriors that were unmatched by all other types. Though the Kings of Fighting and Bug were bothersome, they weee no match. The Fairy Lords were more dangerous, but the Dark Warriors were ready….
Master Urshifu (Urshifu) @ Black Glasses
Ability: Unseen Fist
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Poison Jab / Sucker Punch
- Wicked Blow
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance
Long ago, Master Urshifu learned the art of the Wicked Blow, and all the Metagame trembled. With Black Glasses his power was unmatched by all. Although his fists were powerful, he had a Swords Dance to become more power. Unafraid of the battle, Master Urshifu fought at Close Combat, another one of his STABs he used. Although the Fairy Lords threatened him, he carried Poison Jab to handle them, yet he questioned whether Sucker Punch would be the better choice for Flutter Mane. Master Urshifu is so powerful, that the high leaders of the land of Gen 9 Monotype threaten to bring the hammer of Ban-ee and banish Urshifu from the land.
Sorcerer Muk (Muk-Alola) (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Poison Touch
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 12 Atk / 156 Def / 88 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Zen Headbutt
- Drain Punch
- Poison Jab
Sorcerer Muk learned that by using an Assault Vest, he could better handle Moonblasts that would threaten his fellow Dark Warriors. The spell of Poison Touch allows him to maintain, well, poison who he touches. Each of his moves hold a mysterious power. With Knock Off he can remove opponent’s items. Zen Headbutt provides him coverage against Fighting. Drain Punch gives him recovery. Poison Jab is his STAB and with 12 Atk EVs he has a slight chance to OHKO uninvested Enamorous.
Lord Chien (Chien-Pao) @ Choice Band
Ability: Sword of Ruin
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Psychic Fangs / Ice Shard
- Sacred Sword
- Icicle Crash
- Crunch
Lord Chien was gifted the powerful Choice Band by King Gambit and gained the magical ability Swords of Ruin by Sorcerer Muk. With these Lord Chien can wallbreak powerful opponents. Psychic Fang gives coverage vs. Fighting, although Icicle Crash is usually powerful enough, so Lord Chien wonders if Ice Shard would be better to not be destroyed by Mushroom Breloom. Sacred Sword keeps Lord Chien from being walled by Curse Dondonzo and covers against a wide variety of enemies. Icicle Crash is STAB that brings the Legendary Dragons crashing down. Crunch is STAB and shows Lord Chien’s ferocity.
Assassin Meow (Meowscarada) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Protean
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Play Rough
- Flower Trick
- Knock Off
- U-turn
Assassin Meow’s job is to pick off weakened opponents. With Choice Scarf she is a fast and brutal revenge-killer. Holding the Floating Flower of Pro-Tean, she can adjust all her attacks to be STABs and trick opposing forces of her typing. She laughs at threatening Dragons and Fighting types, by using Play Rough to remove them. Flower Trick can crush her opponents and give Rock and Ground coverage for the Dark Warriors. Knock Off removes opponents items. U-Turn can allow Assassin Meow to pivot out of dangerous spots, or quickly KO and return.
Commander Buzz (Mandibuzz) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Big Pecks
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Toxic
- Roost
- U-turn
- Brave Bird / Foul Play
Commander Buzz is a mastermind of war. She can switch in and take on dangerous Fighting types. Through Toxic and Roost she can KO or cripple her enemies. U-Turn allows her to pivot like Assassin Meow. She currently dwells on choosing Brave Bird or Foul Play, nuking enemies herself, especially the bothersome Fighting and Bug Types. or using their strength against them.
King Gambit (Kingambit) (M) @ Black Glasses
Ability: Supreme Overlord
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Kowtow Cleave
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
King Gambit ponders every move, sitting on a crown of his own glorious hair. The King of the Dark Warriors, he goes to battle last, for through a spell of Sorcerer Muk, the more Dark Warriors have fallen, the stronger he gets. Swords Dance heightens his attack and gives him more strength. Iron Head is a powerful STAB attack. King Gambit uses Sucker Punch to attack before his end, while Kowtow Cleave allows him to crush slower enemies.
So the Dark Warriors ruled the land, besides a few threats…..
Scizor poses a major threat to the Dark Warriors, with nothing to hit the Metal Bug Super effectively. With Swords Dance and Bullet Punch, Lord Chien falls and crumbles. Close Combat crushes King Gambit, Lord Chien. X-Scissors can take out Assassin Meow.
Ribombee is the essence of death and destruction. Sticky Web ends all with no hazard removal. Although King Gambit could purge the threat with Iron Head, Ribombee is often a lead and nothing more, being a threat by just existing. Maybe Commander Buzz should consider Defog….
Well, I hope you enjoyed the great story of the Dark Warriors and their journey to dominance. Any advice?
