>>22929261Darkrai should really be in Absol's category. It's as Malacious as Slugma or Jigglypuff, the entire point of you finding it on New Moon Island where the only nearby thing is Full Moon Island, is that it decided of its own will to not want to hurt things, but can't turn that ability off.
Like Jigglypuff wanting to sing but putting everything to sleep.
Hell, it's only ever been actually malicious in PMD, from what I remember in Ranger, the Movie, and the Game, those all three portrayed Darkrai as a benevolent being.
>>22928992Malamar's dex entries could just be describing its predatory habits, how it catches prey in order to, you know, eat and survive and all. A lot of poisoning/hypnosis/life force sucking in Pokemon seems more involuntary for the sake of survival/hunting rather than the "just for shits and giggles" kind of thing you guys seem to make it out to be, especially in ghost types.
