Dark Type Not Essential to Clear Story

While Dark is strong against both Ghost and Psychic, there are only a few instances where the type comes in handy, so it is not very important to have a Pokemon of this type on your team, unless you are having trouble with Lucian, the Psychic-type Elite Four Member. Generally speaking, we recommend other types instead.

Additionally, many Pokemon (Luxray, Gyarados, etc) already have access to a few Dark type moves, so you can simply teach them to your Pokemon instead.
