Effect

In battle

Dark Aura boosts the power of Dark-type attacks by approximately 33% (or more accurately, by a factor of 1¹³⁵²⁄₄₀₉₆) for all Pokémon on the field. This effect will not stack if more than one Pokémon on the field has this Ability. Aura Break instead divides the power of Dark-type attacks by 1¹⁄₃, resulting in a 25% reduction in damage.

Outside of battle

Dark Aura has no effect outside of battle.
