Maybe I should've done something special for the 50th (!) poll, but you'll have to make do with some pure/primary dark types. Look, more cats! Murkrow and Vullaby will be in a

I've taken a huge liking to Sneasel lately.

Zorua > Scraggy > Houndour > Poochyena > Pawniard > A-Rattata > H-Qwilfish > Nickit > Sneasel > A-Meowth > Purrloin

Edit: almost forgot to sneak the Hisuian Pokemon into my ranking, lol.

Zorua > Pawniard > Sneasel > Houndour > Sneasel > Poochyena > Alolan Rattata > Alolan Meowth > Nickit > Scraggy > Purrloin

Scraggy 100%

Sneasel is my actual favorite pokemon (period) pretty solidly. lots of other amazing things in this lineup though, dark type is so stacked

I like a lot of these quite a bit but I like Nickit a lot more than everything else here.

Pawniard > Zorua > Poochyena > Sneasel > Purrloin > Houndour > Alolan Meowth > Alolan Rattata > Scraggy > Nickit

Dark is a great type but this is a no-brainer for baggypants

Murkrow

Also Sneasel, Hourdour, and Purrloin.

Scraggy easily

Sneasel does have the best balance of originality and coolness, though an honorable mention to Houndour's tried-and-true hellhound. Pooch, Zorua and Purrloin are cute, and the latter's name is a nice touch. Pawniard's just a base form waiting to (pun unintended) evolve into a better final form. Always thought Scraggy(/fty) looked idiotic.

Pooch

Hey we're finally at my 3rd favorite type (after Ice and Poison)!

I've got a big soft spot for Houndour because I had a Houndoom on my original Silver team.

Sneasel > Houndour > Poochyena > Scraggy > Zorua > Pawniard > Purrloin > Nickit > Alolan Meowth > Alolan Rattata

I like Purrloin a lot, but I've gotta vote for Sneasel.

Weavile is a huge improvement on Sneasel

I went for Zorua here. Like Nickit too though.

Agreed, I'm surprised by all the love for Sneasel!

For me it's between Zorua and Houndour, though shout-out to A-Meowth who is easily the best Meowth around.

Not too big on any of this but I like Houndour's typing.

Poochyena gets my vote but Houndour and Pawniard are great

I'll go with Purrloin because its purrple.

Houndour is great-

Zorua > Sneasel > Houndour > Poochyena > Pawniard > Scraggy > Alolan Rattata > Purrloin > Nickit > Alolan Meowth
