Pokemon Sleep: Dark-Type Sleep Pokemon Tier List (September 2024)
Pokemon Sleep: September 2024 Dark-Type Pokemon Tier List
With the recent addition of new sleep styles and recipes in Pokemon Sleep, it's time to re-evaluate the best Dark-type Pokemon for your team. While Sylveon remains a top-tier choice overall due to its powerful support abilities, let's dive into a focused tier list ranking Dark-type Pokemon specifically for their contributions to your Pokemon Sleep experience.
Understanding the Tier List
This tier list focuses on factors crucial for Pokemon Sleep, including:
- Ingredient Finding: Pokemon that consistently find valuable ingredients.
- Berry Finding: Pokemon that gather berries frequently.
- Skill Triggering: Pokemon with high skill trigger chances.
- Help Speed: Pokemon with higher help speeds are always better.
- Specialty: Ingredient, Berry, or Skill focused Pokemon and how well they preform.
Tier Definitions:
- S-Tier: Exceptional performers excelling in multiple areas.
- A-Tier: Reliable and consistent, a strong choice for any team.
- B-Tier: Decent options, but may be outclassed by higher-tier Pokemon.
- C-Tier: Niche picks or those that require specific team compositions to shine.
- D-Tier: Generally not recommended for optimal team performance.
The Dark-Type Tier List
S-Tier:
- (None): Unfortunately, no dark types reach the S-Tier. This is due to their weaker berry finding skill, and ingredient finding, while other types perform better in this role.
A-Tier:
- Umbreon: Skill Specialist, shines with Energy for Everyone. Umbreon can trigger his skill fairly often, making it a good choice to keep your team awake and energized.
B-Tier:
- Tyranitar: Ingredient Specialist, finds quality ingredients, and has a decent berry drop rate. It's Help Speed is its only real draw back. Its evolution line is very powerful, so finding Larvitar early is good, and you can keep it on your team long-term.
C-Tier:
- Absol: Ingredient Specialist, Absol is in the lower end due to its terrible berry drop rate. If your team is in dire need of ingredients, Absol can fill this role, but there are far better choices.
D-Tier:
- (None): No dark types fall into this tier, but this also doesn't mean that they are all good. If you like a certain one, use it! They will all help you raise Snorlax.
Sylveon's Role (While Not Dark-Type)
Although Sylveon is a Fairy-type, it's worth mentioning its overall impact on Pokemon Sleep. With the Skill: Energy for Everyone S, Sylveon is essential for teams that need constant Energy boosts to stay awake. While it's not Dark-type specific, its support is universally valuable.
Tips for Team Building with Dark-Types:
- Consider Berry Types: Prioritize the berries Snorlax likes each week.
- Balance Ingredients and Skills: A mix of ingredient finding and skill-triggering Pokemon is ideal.
- Invest in Sub-Skills: Look for sub-skills that enhance Help Speed, Ingredient Finding, and Skill Trigger Chance.
Final Thoughts:
While the Dark-type roster in Pokemon Sleep might not be as strong as other types, they each bring unique advantages. Umbreon stands out as a support, while Tyranitar can gather ingredients for the team. Keep an eye on future updates and Pokemon additions, as the meta is constantly evolving!
