Dark-Aura

Summary

Dark Aura is an ability that notably amplifies the power of Dark-type moves. First seen in Generation VI, this ability is largely linked with the Legendary Pokémon Yveltal.

Effects:

• When a Pokémon possessing Dark Aura is present on the battlefield, the strength of all Dark-type moves launched by any Pokémon (both allies and adversaries) is amplified by 33%.
• This enhancement is singular in that it influences every Pokémon in the fight, not solely the user.
• The surge in power multiplies with other damage-boosting effects, making it markedly formidable in battle scenarios where multiple Dark-type maneuvers are executed.

Competitive Use:

• In competitive combat, Dark Aura is incredibly efficient for teams constructed around Dark-type tactics.
• Yveltal, the quintessential Pokémon with this ability, capitalizes on it to intensify moves like Dark Pulse, Sucker Punch, and Knock Off, rendering these attacks considerably more menacing.
• When paired with other abilities and moves that further amplify damage or unsettle opponents, the effectiveness of Dark Aura exponentially increases.
