Best Dark Pals By Role

	Best Combat Pals
	Frostallion Noct Shadowbeak Loupmoon Bellanoir Libero Bellanoir
	Necromus Astegon Lyleen Noct Helzephyr Pyrin Noct Maraith
	Menasting Blazehowl Noct Vanwyrm Vanwyrm Cryst

Other than "Necromus" and "Shadowbeak" which have powerful Signature Moves, "Frostallion Noct" is also strong because it can increase the strength of the Player's attack power. If you level up the Partner Skill for "Loupmoon", Jumping Claw will become much more powerful and the low CT will allow you to use it repeatedly in battle.

Best Pals That Apply Element Type

	Rideable Pals
Fastest	Necromus (Ground) Frostallion Noct (Flying)
Very Fast	Shadowbeak (Flying) Helzephyr (Flying) Pyrin Noct (Ground)
Fast	Blazehowl Noct (Ground) Vanwyrm (Flying) Vanwyrm Cryst (Flying) Astegon (Flying) Maraith (Ground)
Gliding Pal Recommended	Killamari (Flying)

The fastest-moving Dark-type Pal is Necromus. Not only fast, but it is also capable of using a double jump during the ride, allowing you to move comfortably while making use of the double jump at moderately high places.

	Best Base Pal
	Vanwyrm Cryst (Transporting Lvl 3) Killamari (Transporting Lvl 2) Felbat (Medicine Production Lvl 3)
	Blazehowl Noct (Kindling Lvl 3) Frostallion Noct (Gathering Lvl 4) Lyleen Noct (Handiwork Lvl 3) Menasting (Mining Lvl 3) Helzephyr (Transporting Lvl 3)
	Loupmoon (Handiwork Lvl 2) Maraith (Gathering Lvl 2) Incineram Noct (Transporting Lvl 2) Katress (Handiwork Lvl 2)

The best Dark Element Base Pals either have low work suitability levels but require low amounts of food, or a Work Suitability of Lvl 3 or 4. Dark element Pals also work at night so we recommend choosing Pals that require only small amounts of food.
