The dark typing in Pokemon gets a lot of unnecessary dubbing as evil just for being dark. The dark type has plenty of wonderful, nice Pokemon to its name; however, many of the Pokemon on this list are a bit rough and would make great antagonists to any display they are used in. Mega Construx's line of pokeball sets that focus on the smaller, first evolutions of Pokemon have been going strong, and these are the top 5 dark type first evolution Pokemon that I think deserve Pokeball sets of their own.

5. Scraggy
Black and White have yet to get any kind of representation in the line, but there are plenty of great Pokemon from that region and this is one of the Pokemon I want to get in buildable form. I love how it is a lizard shedding its skin, and that it is using that to look like a typical kid with baggy, drooping pants. I also like the pip of hair on its head, and the yellow/orange coloration of this Pokemon. I also just want Black and White Pokemon to be introduced into the line!

4. Vullaby
Another Pokemon from Black and White, and this one is full of attitude. The look of this Pokemon's face just dares others to make fun of the fact that it is still halfway stuck in its egg. It is like an evil version of Togepi, and I love that.

3. Deino
Black and White certainly had a lot of really great dark type Pokemon, and Deino is one of my favorites. It is the first in a line of dragon type evolution set, and looks great as the precursor for what happens later on. The combination of black and blue is something I really like, along with the bangs of this Pokemon that obscure the eyes, reminding me of those high school kids with bushy hair who are depicted as buffoons in most movies. That gives a lot of personality to the Pokemon!

2. Inkay
I love squids, and this little squid Pokemon is really adorable. It evolves into an absolutely hateful creature, but at this stage it wears a cute little smile with small little tentacles, and a nice "hat" that looks very pure and almost nurse-like. It kinda astonishes me that this bundle of cuteness evolves into a creature that looks like it wants to strangle everything, but it also makes this Pokemon more interesting!

1. Poochyena
I vividly remember the opening of the Hoenn games in which the Pokemon professor is being chased around by a Poochyena that you have to defeat. I jumped into Hoenn after Kanto, so instead of being giving a Pokemon that you then go out and fight with, choosing your Pokemon became a tense moment as you bond with it by saving the professor from this Pokemon out in the field. It helped me make an immediate connection with my starter, and Poochyena was a big part of that, along with having a cool design.
