Are there any Dark types in LeafGreen?

1 minute read

I’ve been trying to find a good Dark type for my team in Pokemon LeafGreen. Is there any way to get a Dark type Pokemon in LeafGreen without trading? If so, please tell me where I can find it. Thank you!

Since Leaf Green and Fire Red are remakes of Red and Blue, their capture lists are pretty much the same as those games. There were no Dark type Pokemon in Gen I, and so none in Red or Blue. As a result, Fire Red and Leaf Green have no Dark types available for capture until the post-game. So you will be unable to get one without trading with Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, at least until you beat the Elite 4. After that I’m, pretty sure you can get a Larvitar, and so a Tyranitar, but by that time you should definitely already have your 6 team members.

Even though Dark types were introduced in Generation II and Fire Red and Leaf Green were released in Generation III, they are remakes of Red and Green which was released in Generation I.

There are dark types in Leaf Green. The most notable example is Sneasel, which can only be found in Leaf Green. You can also get your hands on a Tyranitar, though not until rather late in the game.
