Dark-type Moves

Attack Count: 44

Assurance			10	60	100	If the target has already taken some damage in the same turn, this attack's power is doubled.
Baddy Bad			15	80	95	The user acts bad and attacks the target. A wondrous wall of light is put up to weaken the power of the opposing Pokémon’s physical moves.
Beat Up			10	--	100	The user gets all party Pokémon to attack the target. The more party Pokémon, the greater the number of attacks.
Bite			25	60	100	The target is bitten with viciously sharp fangs. This may also make the target flinch.
Black Hole Eclipse			1	--	101	The user gathers dark energy using its Z-Power and sucks the target into it. The power varies, depending on the original move.
Black Hole Eclipse			1	--	101	The user gathers dark energy using its Z-Power and sucks the target into it. The power varies, depending on the original move.
Brutal Swing			20	60	100	The user swings its body around violently to inflict damage on everything in its vicinity.
Crunch			15	80	100	The user crunches up the target with sharp fangs. This may also lower the target's Defense stat.
Dark Pulse			15	80	100	The user releases a horrible aura imbued with dark thoughts. This may also make the target flinch.
Dark Void			10	--	50	Opposing Pokémon are dragged into a world of total darkness that makes them sleep.
Darkest Lariat			10	85	100	The user swings both arms and hits the target. The target's stat changes don't affect this attack's damage.
Embargo			15	--	100	This move prevents the target from using its held item for five turns. Its Trainer is also prevented from using items on it.
Fake Tears			20	--	100	The user feigns crying to fluster the target, harshly lowering its Sp. Def stat.
False Surrender			10	80	101	The user pretends to bow its head, but then it stabs the target with its disheveled hair. This attack never misses.
Feint Attack			20	60	101	The user approaches the target disarmingly, then throws a sucker punch. This attack never misses.
Flatter			15	--	100	Flattery is used to confuse the target. However, this also raises the target's Sp. Atk stat.
Fling			10	--	100	The user flings its held item at the target to attack. This move's power and effects depend on the item.
Foul Play			15	95	100	The user turns the target's power against it. The higher the target's Attack stat, the greater the damage it deals.
G-Max Snooze			10	--	101	A Dark-type attack that Gigantamax Grimmsnarl use. The user lets loose a huge yawn that lulls the targets into falling asleep on the next turn.
Hone Claws			15	--	101	The user sharpens its claws to boost its Attack stat and accuracy.
Hyperspace Fury			5	100	101	Using its many arms, the user unleashes a barrage of attacks that ignore the effects of moves like Protect and Detect. But the user's Defense stat falls.
Jaw Lock			10	80	100	This move prevents the user and the target from switching out until either of them faints. The effect goes away if either of the Pokémon leaves the field.
Knock Off			20	65	100	The user slaps down the target's held item, and that item can't be used in that battle. The move does more damage if the target has a held item.
Malicious Moonsault			1	180	101	The user, Incineroar, strengthens its body using its Z-Power and crashes into the target with full force.
Max Darkness			10	--	101	This is a Dark-type attack Dynamax Pokémon use. This lowers the target's Sp. Def stat.

Nasty Plot			20	--	101	The user stimulates its brain by thinking bad thoughts. This sharply raises the user's Sp. Atk stat.
Night Daze			10	85	95	The user lets loose a pitch-black shock wave at its target. This may also lower the target's accuracy.
Night Slash			15	70	100	The user slashes the target the instant an opportunity arises. Critical hits land more easily.
Obstruct			10	--	100	This move enables the user to protect itself from all attacks. Its chance of failing rises if it is used in succession. Direct contact harshly lowers the attacker's Defense stat.

Payback			10	50	100	The user stores power, then attacks. If the user moves after the target, this attack's power will be doubled.
Power Trip			10	20	100	The user boasts its strength and attacks the target. The more the user's stats are raised, the greater the move's power.
Punishment			5	--	100	The more the target has powered up with stat changes, the greater the move's power.
Pursuit			20	40	100	The power of this attack move is doubled if it's used on a target that's switching out of battle.
Quash			15	--	100	The user suppresses the target and makes its move go last.
Snarl			15	55	95	The user yells as if it's ranting about something, which lowers the Sp. Atk stats of opposing Pokémon.
Snatch			10	--	101	The user steals the effects of any attempts to use a healing or stat-changing move.
Sucker Punch			5	70	100	This move enables the user to attack first. This move fails if the target is not readying an attack.
Switcheroo			10	--	100	The user trades held items with the target faster than the eye can follow.
Taunt			20	--	100	The target is taunted into a rage that allows it to use only attack moves for three turns.
Thief			25	60	100	The user attacks and steals the target's held item simultaneously. The user can't steal anything if it already holds an item.
Throat Chop			15	80	100	The user attacks the target's throat, and the resultant suffering prevents the target from using moves that emit sound for two turns.
Topsy-Turvy			20	--	101	All stat changes affecting the target turn topsy-turvy and become the opposite of what they were.
Torment			15	--	100	The user torments and enrages the target, making it incapable of using the same move twice in a row.
