Notable Trainers that specialize in Dark-type Pokémon are [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Grimsley]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark type is the only type that has never had a [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]] specialize in it, although it is a recurrent type used by [[villainous teams]], and is used in the Elite Four. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]] all Dark-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack. Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].<br /> <br /> ==Statistical averages==<br /> ===Overall===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> type=dark|<br /> HP=67.05 |<br /> Attack=89.64 |<br /> Defense=65.72 |<br /> SpAtk=70.69 |<br /> SpDef=63.62 |<br /> Speed=73.95 |<br /> Total=430.67 }}<br /> <br /> ===Fully evolved===<br /> {{BaseStatNoCat|<br /> type=dark|<br /> HP=76.61 |<br /> Attack=101.91 |<br /> Defense=78.35 |<br /> SpAtk=83.52 |<br /> SpDef=75.26 |<br /> Speed=80.22 |<br /> Total=495.87 }}<br /> &lt;!--out of 16--&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Battle properties==<br /> ===Generation II-V===<br /> {{typebattle<br /> |type=Dark<br /> |weakto1=Bug<br /> |weakto2=Fighting<br /> |resist1=Dark<br /> |resist2=Ghost<br /> |unaffected1=Psychic<br /> |weaken1=Ghost<br /> |weaken2=Psychic<br /> |resisted1=Dark<br /> |resisted2=Fighting<br /> |resisted3=Steel<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Generation VI-onward===<br /> {{typebattle<br /> |type=Dark<br /> |weakto1=Bug<br /> |weakto2=Fairy<br /> |weakto3=Fighting<br /> |resist1=Dark<br /> |resist2=Ghost<br /> |unaffected1=Psychic<br /> |weaken1=Ghost<br /> |weaken2=Psychic<br /> |resisted1=Dark<br /> |resisted2=Fairy<br /> |resisted3=Fighting<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Characteristics==<br /> ===Defense===<br /> Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Bisharp}}, {{p|Drapion}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{p|Mandibuzz}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}. On the plus side, Dark types have an immunity to {{type|Psychic}} moves.<br /> <br /> Additionally, prior to [[Generation VI]], Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type|Ghost}} have no weaknesses (excluding {{type|Fighting}} moves used under immunity-negating conditions such as {{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}} or {{a|Scrappy}}), as the resistances of the Dark type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. In Generation VI, the {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced, which is super effective against Dark and not resisted by Ghost, so these Pokémon now have a weakness to Fairy.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, a Psychic/Dark-type Pokémon, such as {{p|Inkay}} and {{p|Malamar}}, has no resistances while having a double weakness to Bug-type moves, a single weakness to Fairy-type moves and an immunity to Psychic.<br /> <br /> ===Offense===<br /> Dark-type moves, when combating Psychic types, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Defense (an already low stat among Psychic types), {{m|Bite}} causes {{Status|flinch}}ing, {{m|Feint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high {{DL|Damage modification|critical hit}} ratio while {{m|Pursuit}} hits Pokémon as they switch for double damage. Many Dark-type moves also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like: {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item; {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves; and {{m|Foul Play}}, which uses a number of the opponent's offensive modifiers, such as [[Statistics|Attack]], to calculate damage.<br /> <br /> Even though the Dark type was considered a [[special move|special type]] prior to [[Generation IV]], the three Dark-type moves that are currently special ({{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Snarl}} and {{m|Night Daze}}) were introduced after [[Generation III]], meaning that all Dark-type moves that were once special moves are now all [[physical move]]s, which helps many Dark types since most of them are physical attackers. Similar to the Ghost-type, Dark-type attacks work very well with {{type|Fairy}} attacks, as only {{p|Mawile|two}} {{p|Klefki|Pokémon}} resist said combination.<br /> <br /> ===Contest properties===<br /> When used in Contests, Dark-type moves typically are of the [[Smart Contest|Smart]] category, but can also fall in any of the other four Contest categories.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> As of Generation VI, there are 45 Dark-type Pokémon or 6.1% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the 6th rarest type.<br /> <br /> ===Pure Dark-type Pokémon===<br /> {| class=&quot;roundy&quot; style=&quot;margin:auto; background: #{{dark color light}}; border: 5px solid #{{dark color}};&quot;<br /> |-<br /> |<br /> {| border=1 width=&quot;100%&quot; class=&quot;sortable&quot; style=&quot;margin:auto; background: #FFFFFF; border:1px solid #{{dark color light}}; border-collapse:collapse;&quot;<br /> |-style=&quot;background: #{{dark color light}};&quot;<br /> ! #<br /> !<br /> !

Its western terminus is at [[Pewter City]] and its eastern terminus is at the western foot of [[Mt. Moon]]. The contour of the [[route]] is designed to be only a singular path from west to east, with ledges that lead down and curve around back to the western segment. In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, the {{player}} isn't allowed to set foot on Route 3 until [[Brock]] has been defeated, as a man will be blocking the pathway to the route.<br /> <br /> ==Route description==<br /> For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level [[route]]. Heading east from [[Pewter City]], [[Player Character|the player]] encounters a small clearing with some natural obstacles that create a fork in the road, forcing travel north or south, of which the south path curves east and leads to a group of {{m|Rock Smash|rocky}} pits ([[Generation IV]] only) and a dead end. In order to progress, the player must turn north and then east along the northern half (which, in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, is packed with {{pkmn|Trainer}}s). At any point, the player can jump the ledges located here to access a middle section of the route between the two ledges. Most of this middle area contains [[item]]s, as well as another Trainer waiting for battle. By hopping a ledge again, the player is able to travel west toward the pits and then north back to the clearing at the start of the route. <br /> <br /> East of the second section of the ledges, the route curves south and then east near a large patch of [[tall grass]] containing [[wild Pokémon]], which takes up most of the area. This patch, which contains another Trainer, follows the route until it turns north ahead of a hill. (In [[Generation IV]], the player can go through the grass to reach a ledge running along the southern edge of the route.) From this point, the route makes a backward &quot;S&quot; curve, turning east past the hilly terrain, south past another ledge that leads the route to a large clearing, east again, and finally north, passing a second patch of grass near the end, which has a fence around it as well as a [[signpost]] for directions. (In Generation IV, however, the eastern half of the route only goes south-east and does not bring the player north until the second patch of grass.)<br /> <br /> The only obstacles along the remainder of the route are a few ledges on either side, which are easily bypassed as the player proceeds north towards the mysterious [[Mt. Moon]] cave and {{rt|4|Kanto}} beyond. Beside the entrance to the cave is a [[Pokémon Center]], one of only two in [[Kanto]] that is not located in a populated area (the other one is on {{rt|10|Kanto}} at the north entrance to [[Rock Tunnel]]). In Generation III, {{m|Fly}} is able to return the player to this location instantly, but not in any other [[Generation]]s. In the Pokémon Center, a [[Magikarp salesman|man]] attempts to scam Trainers by selling them the laughably common {{p|Magikarp}} for relatively high prices.<br /> <br /> ==Items==<br />

The barriers on either side of the route are removed in the Generation III remakes, while the large patch of tall grass in the center of the route becomes considerably smaller. Also the set of trees have been removed in Generation I and have been replaced by a rocky mountain setting. Other than this, most of the route remains the same.<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> Many changes were made to Route 3 in [[Generation II]]. First, the route was shortened significantly. Also, the number of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s along the path was reduced to four. Similarly, the size of the grass patches were reduced by nearly 50%.<br /> <br /> Traveling east from [[Pewter City]], the route passes two barriers on either side of the road, and cuts to a clearing that creates a fork in the road, and allows travel north or south, with south curving around eastern and then leading to a dead end. In order to progress, Trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half. For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level route, so at any point, Trainers can jump the ledges located south of this path, to access a middle section of the route between two ledges, and then again, so Trainer are able to travel west which curves north back to the clearing at the start of the route.<br /> <br /> East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a small patch of [[tall grass]]. The size of the tall grass has been reduced by about half. This patch follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward &quot;S&quot; curve, turning east past the hilly terrain, south past another ledge taking the route to a large clearing, east again which travels across the clearing, and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass which has also been reduced in size, which has a fence as well as a [[signpost]], which gives out directions.<br /> <br /> Part of Route 4 has been combined with Route 3 so now only one route connects Pewter with [[Mt. Moon]], however, the Pokémon Center is no longer there. There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards [[Mt. Moon]].<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> [[File:DeoxysRocks.png|thumb|right|200px|The meteorites located at the southwest end of Route 3]]<br /> In [[Generation IV]], the route is different from other generations, with some area changes, as well as major aesthetic features enhanced, including depth and sprite changes. The trees removed in Generation III return, and the east area of the route changes too. Hills, rocks, and {{m|Rock Smash|smashable rocks}} are added near [[Mt. Moon]], now part of this route like in Generation II. An additional area at the southwest end of the route allows players to change their {{p|Deoxys}}'s current form by interacting with different meteorites. Also, a new hill is placed south of the [[tall grass]].<br /> <br /> For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level route. Heading east, Trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half. The southern half of the route is only accessible by hopping down ledges that will lead Trainers into the paths of more rival Trainers. East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a large patch of grass containing wild Pokémon. This patch follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward &quot;S&quot; curve, turning east, south, east and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass on the route. There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards Mt. Moon. Just before the entrance to the cave, there is a Pokémon Center.<br /> <br /> Three unique items have also been scattered around the place, including a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Big Root}}, located near a {{tc|Firebreather}}; a {{DL|Valuable item|Star Piece}}, located near the meteors; and a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}, hidden near the [[Pokémon Center]]. The number of Trainers along the path has been increased to eleven. The [[Pokémon Center]] at the entrance of [[Mt. Moon]] returns but the area around it was reduced significantly in size.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} hiked along Route 3 in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. They were on their way to [[Mt. Moon]], when they encountered a man being attacked by a flock of {{p|Zubat}}. Ash ordered {{AP|Pikachu}} to fire a {{m|ThunderShock}}. The Zubat flew away, and the man, who was wearing a lab coat, squeezed Ash and thanked him profusely. He introduced himself as [[Seymour]] the scientist.<br /> <br /> ==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==<br /> {{Adv|Red}} passed through Route 3 in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green &amp; Blue}}, when a [[Gyara]]dos belonging to [[Misty]] was out of control. With Misty's help, Red was able to capture Gyarados (even though that should not have been possible, since Misty already owned it). There was also a [[Pokémon Center]] where Red contacted {{adv|Professor Oak}}.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> [[File:Route3shorts.png|thumb|200px|left|Youngster exclaiming, &quot;I like shorts&quot;]]<br /> [[File:Route 3 shorts Gen I.png|thumb|200px|right|The original quote in Generation I]]<br /> * When {{tc|Bug Catcher}} Colton first approaches the {{player}} he says &quot;I saw you in [[Viridian Forest]].&quot;, though there is no Bug Catcher named Colton in Viridian Forest. He also says &quot;You beat me again!&quot; after defeat. This is also true in the Japanese versions, as there is no Bug Catcher named Hisashi in Viridian Forest. This error is a carryover from [[Generation I]], where no Bug Catcher, nor any other Trainer class aside from [[Elite Four]] members and [[Gym Leader]]s, had specific names (making it presumable that one could encounter the same Trainer twice in different areas).<br /> * Route 3 is the scene of a famous quote among Pokémon fans, where a {{tc|Youngster}} exclaims, &quot;Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!&quot; Further along in the route, another Youngster exclaims &quot;Hey! You're not wearing shorts!&quot;<br /> * The music that plays in Route 3 is one of the most common location-specific themes in the {{pkmn|games}}, playing in [[Route]]s 3, {{rtn|4|Kanto}}, {{rtn|5|Kanto}}, {{rtn|6|Kanto}}, {{rtn|7|Kanto}}, {{rtn|8|Kanto}}, {{rtn|9|Kanto}}, {{rtn|10|Kanto}}, {{rtn|16|Kanto}}, {{rtn|17|Kanto}}, {{rtn|18|Kanto}}, {{rtn|19|Kanto}}, {{rtn|20|Kanto}}, {{rtn|21|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|22|Kanto}}. It also plays in {{rt|24|Kanto}} and {{rtn|25|Kanto}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and on {{rt|2|Kanto}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br /> * Although there are 7 breakable rocks around the Pokémon Center in HeartGold and SoulSilver, there are no wild Pokémon to be found under them.<br /> ** As a result, Route 3 is the best place for collecting items found via {{m|Rock Smash}}.<br /> *The {{p|Arbok}}s that appear on Route 3 in HeartGold and SoulSilver are underleveled, as they appear at level 10, but evolve from {{p|Ekans}} at level 22.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Mt.

Its western terminus is at [[Pewter City]] and its eastern terminus is at the western foot of [[Mt. Moon]]. The contour of the [[route]] is designed to be only a singular path from west to east, with ledges that lead down and curve around back to the western segment. In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, the {{player}} isn't allowed to set foot on Route 3 until [[Brock]] has been defeated, as a man will be blocking the pathway to the route.<br /> <br /> ==Route description==<br /> For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level [[route]]. Heading east from [[Pewter City]], [[Player Character|the player]] encounters a small clearing with some natural obstacles that create a fork in the road, forcing travel north or south, of which the south path curves east and leads to a group of {{m|Rock Smash|rocky}} pits ([[Generation IV]] only) and a dead end. In order to progress, the player must turn north and then east along the northern half (which, in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, is packed with {{pkmn|Trainer}}s). At any point, the player can jump the ledges located here to access a middle section of the route between the two ledges. Most of this middle area contains [[item]]s, as well as another Trainer waiting for battle. By hopping a ledge again, the player is able to travel west toward the pits and then north back to the clearing at the start of the route. <br /> <br /> East of the second section of the ledges, the route curves south and then east near a large patch of [[tall grass]] containing [[wild Pokémon]], which takes up most of the area. This patch, which contains another Trainer, follows the route until it turns north ahead of a hill. (In [[Generation IV]], the player can go through the grass to reach a ledge running along the southern edge of the route.) From this point, the route makes a backward &quot;S&quot; curve, turning east past the hilly terrain, south past another ledge that leads the route to a large clearing, east again, and finally north, passing a second patch of grass near the end, which has a fence around it as well as a [[signpost]] for directions. (In Generation IV, however, the eastern half of the route only goes south-east and does not bring the player north until the second patch of grass.)<br /> <br /> The only obstacles along the remainder of the route are a few ledges on either side, which are easily bypassed as the player proceeds north towards the mysterious [[Mt. Moon]] cave and {{rt|4|Kanto}} beyond. Beside the entrance to the cave is a [[Pokémon Center]], one of only two in [[Kanto]] that is not located in a populated area (the other one is on {{rt|10|Kanto}} at the north entrance to [[Rock Tunnel]]). In Generation III, {{m|Fly}} is able to return the player to this location instantly, but not in any other [[Generation]]s. In the Pokémon Center, a [[Magikarp salesman|man]] attempts to scam Trainers by selling them the laughably common {{p|Magikarp}} for relatively high prices.<br /> <br /> ==Items==<br />

The barriers on either side of the route are removed in the Generation III remakes, while the large patch of tall grass in the center of the route becomes considerably smaller. Also the set of trees have been removed in Generation I and have been replaced by a rocky mountain setting. Other than this, most of the route remains the same.<br /> <br /> ===Generation II===<br /> Many changes were made to Route 3 in [[Generation II]]. First, the route was shortened significantly. Also, the number of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s along the path was reduced to four. Similarly, the size of the grass patches were reduced by nearly 50%.<br /> <br /> Traveling east from [[Pewter City]], the route passes two barriers on either side of the road, and cuts to a clearing that creates a fork in the road, and allows travel north or south, with south curving around eastern and then leading to a dead end. In order to progress, Trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half. For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level route, so at any point, Trainers can jump the ledges located south of this path, to access a middle section of the route between two ledges, and then again, so Trainer are able to travel west which curves north back to the clearing at the start of the route.<br /> <br /> East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a small patch of [[tall grass]]. The size of the tall grass has been reduced by about half. This patch follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward &quot;S&quot; curve, turning east past the hilly terrain, south past another ledge taking the route to a large clearing, east again which travels across the clearing, and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass which has also been reduced in size, which has a fence as well as a [[signpost]], which gives out directions.<br /> <br /> Part of Route 4 has been combined with Route 3 so now only one route connects Pewter with [[Mt. Moon]], however, the Pokémon Center is no longer there. There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards [[Mt. Moon]].<br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> [[File:DeoxysRocks.png|thumb|right|200px|The meteorites located at the southwest end of Route 3]]<br /> In [[Generation IV]], the route is different from other generations, with some area changes, as well as major aesthetic features enhanced, including depth and sprite changes. The trees removed in Generation III return, and the east area of the route changes too. Hills, rocks, and {{m|Rock Smash|smashable rocks}} are added near [[Mt. Moon]], now part of this route like in Generation II. An additional area at the southwest end of the route allows players to change their {{p|Deoxys}}'s current form by interacting with different meteorites. Also, a new hill is placed south of the [[tall grass]].<br /> <br /> For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level route. Heading east, Trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half. The southern half of the route is only accessible by hopping down ledges that will lead Trainers into the paths of more rival Trainers. East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a large patch of grass containing wild Pokémon. This patch follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward &quot;S&quot; curve, turning east, south, east and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass on the route. There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards Mt. Moon. Just before the entrance to the cave, there is a Pokémon Center.<br /> <br /> Three unique items have also been scattered around the place, including a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Big Root}}, located near a {{tc|Firebreather}}; a {{DL|Valuable item|Star Piece}}, located near the meteors; and a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}, hidden near the [[Pokémon Center]]. The number of Trainers along the path has been increased to eleven. The [[Pokémon Center]] at the entrance of [[Mt. Moon]] returns but the area around it was reduced significantly in size.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} hiked along Route 3 in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. They were on their way to [[Mt. Moon]], when they encountered a man being attacked by a flock of {{p|Zubat}}. Ash ordered {{AP|Pikachu}} to fire a {{m|ThunderShock}}. The Zubat flew away, and the man, who was wearing a lab coat, squeezed Ash and thanked him profusely. He introduced himself as [[Seymour]] the scientist.<br /> <br /> ==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==<br /> {{Adv|Red}} passed through Route 3 in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green &amp; Blue}}, when a [[Gyara]]dos belonging to [[Misty]] was out of control. With Misty's help, Red was able to capture Gyarados (even though that should not have been possible, since Misty already owned it). There was also a [[Pokémon Center]] where Red contacted {{adv|Professor Oak}}.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> [[File:Route3shorts.png|thumb|200px|left|Youngster exclaiming, &quot;I like shorts&quot;]]<br /> [[File:Route 3 shorts Gen I.png|thumb|200px|right|The original quote in Generation I]]<br /> * When {{tc|Bug Catcher}} Colton first approaches the {{player}} he says &quot;I saw you in [[Viridian Forest]].&quot;, though there is no Bug Catcher named Colton in Viridian Forest. He also says &quot;You beat me again!&quot; after defeat. This is also true in the Japanese versions, as there is no Bug Catcher named Hisashi in Viridian Forest. This error is a carryover from [[Generation I]], where no Bug Catcher, nor any other Trainer class aside from [[Elite Four]] members and [[Gym Leader]]s, had specific names (making it presumable that one could encounter the same Trainer twice in different areas).<br /> * Route 3 is the scene of a famous quote among Pokémon fans, where a {{tc|Youngster}} exclaims, &quot;Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!&quot; Further along in the route, another Youngster exclaims &quot;Hey! You're not wearing shorts!&quot;<br /> * The music that plays in Route 3 is one of the most common location-specific themes in the {{pkmn|games}}, playing in [[Route]]s 3, {{rtn|4|Kanto}}, {{rtn|5|Kanto}}, {{rtn|6|Kanto}}, {{rtn|7|Kanto}}, {{rtn|8|Kanto}}, {{rtn|9|Kanto}}, {{rtn|10|Kanto}}, {{rtn|16|Kanto}}, {{rtn|17|Kanto}}, {{rtn|18|Kanto}}, {{rtn|19|Kanto}}, {{rtn|20|Kanto}}, {{rtn|21|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|22|Kanto}}. It also plays in {{rt|24|Kanto}} and {{rtn|25|Kanto}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and on {{rt|2|Kanto}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.<br /> * Although there are 7 breakable rocks around the Pokémon Center in HeartGold and SoulSilver, there are no wild Pokémon to be found under them.<br /> ** As a result, Route 3 is the best place for collecting items found via {{m|Rock Smash}}.<br /> {{-}}<br /> *The Arboks that appear on Route 3 in HeartGold and SoulSilver are underleveled, as they appear at level 10, but evolve from Ekans at level 22.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Mt.
