Dark-Aura

Dark Aura is an ability that primarily boosts the power of Dark-type moves. Introduced in Generation VI, this ability is notably associated with the Legendary Pokémon Yveltal.

Effects: - When a Pokémon with Dark Aura is on the battlefield, the power of all Dark-type moves used by any Pokémon (both allies and opponents) is increased by 33%. - This boost is unique in that it affects every Pokémon in the battle, not just the user. - The increase in power stacks with other damage-boosting effects, making it particularly potent in battle situations where multiple Dark-type moves are used.

Competitive Use: - In competitive battling, Dark Aura is extremely effective for teams built around Dark-type strategies. - Yveltal, the signature Pokémon with this ability, leverages it to enhance moves like Dark Pulse, Sucker Punch, and Knock Off, making these attacks significantly more threatening. - Paired with other abilities and moves that further boost damage or disrupt opponents
