Favorite Dark Type: Hydreigon

Description

Here it is.  My last type favorite and, like Kommo-o, it's one of the infamous Pseudo-Legendaries: Hydreigon.  There are two reasons why this Pokemon became my favorite Dark Type.

1.  Its Pokedex entries.  Being a Dark type, Hydreigon is incredibly violent, attacking and devouring anything that moves.  Don't let your Pikachu fight this thing unless you want to see the little guy become a snack.

2.  Its inspiration.  Hydreigon is inspired by the mythical Japanese monster Yamata No-Orochi.  However, seeing its design and dex entries, Hydreigon seems more akin to another monster also inspired by Orochi.  Just look at all the signs: Three heads, no arms, violent and incredibly powerful.  In any sense, Hydreigon is more like the famous Kaiju, King Ghidorah and like Ghidorah, Hydreigon is a special attacker.

As a Pseudo Legendary, Hydreigon is a force to be reckoned with and with a base 125 in special attack, it is going to hit hard with moves like Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, Outrage, Hyper Voice, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Flash Cannon, Hyper Beam and even Draco Meteor. 

Sure you can go with other good Dark types like Darkrai, Zoroark, Houndoom or Yveltal but I'll stick with the first Dark Type that really caught my eye with a really fantastic design.  Plus, I not only have Game Freak to thank for Hydreigon's existence, but Toho as well.

Personally, I believe Hydreigon to be one of the most intimidating pokemon designs to date.  What about you?
