Dark Pupitar collectibles from Bandai are super rare, but they do exist! I recall a limited-run Banpresto figure from a few years ago that had a darker color scheme, though it wasn’t explicitly labeled 'Dark Pupitar.' Most of Bandai’s Pupitar merch is standard, but if you dig deep into collector circles, you might find someone selling a custom or unofficial variant. Checking eBay or MyFigureCollection could turn up something unique. Patience is key here!
I’ve been deep into Pokémon collectibles for years, and Dark Pupitar is one of those elusive gems. Bandai’s 'Ichibansho' line had a few shadowy Pokémon figures, but Pupitar’s dark version isn’t common. The closest I’ve seen are custom repaints by fans, which look amazing. If you’re serious about finding one, keep an eye on Japanese resale sites or niche collector forums. Sometimes, small batches of rare figures pop up unexpectedly. It’s a treasure hunt, but worth it for the right collector.
As a longtime collector of Pokémon merchandise, I can confidently say that Dark Pupitar collectibles from Bandai are quite rare but not impossible to find. Bandai has produced various Pokémon figures under their 'Banpresto' and 'Ichibansho' lines, but Dark Pupitar specifically is a niche pick. I remember spotting a limited-edition shadowy variant of Pupitar in a Banpresto Ichibansho lottery figure series a few years back. It had this cool, almost metallic dark finish that made it stand out from the regular Pupitar releases.
If you're hunting for one, I'd recommend checking auction sites like Yahoo Japan Auctions or Mandarake, as they sometimes list rare figures. Bandai also occasionally releases 'Pokémon Scale World' figures, and while Pupitar hasn't been a frequent star, there's always hope for a future dark variant. For now, custom painters in the community sometimes take regular Pupitar figures and repaint them to look like Dark Pupitar, which could be a fun alternative if you're into DIY projects.
Bandai’s Pokémon figures are everywhere, but Dark Pupitar is a tough find. The closest thing I’ve seen is their 'Pokémon Scale World' line, which hasn’t included a dark variant yet. Your best bet might be waiting for a special release or hunting down a custom piece. Some artists on Etsy or DeviantArt create dark versions of popular Pokémon figures, which could be a cool alternative.

Avani is the last earth dragon in the world. Not only that, but he is also the last male dragon. The other three remaining elemental dragons, air, water and fire, are all females. Unless he mates with one of the other three dragons, the race of pure dragons will die out.
Since he snubs the idea of finding a mate, refusing to allow anyone to claim him and therefore control him, he has taken over as protector of the forest. The hunters are always searching for supernaturals to force into their Arenas, a modern-day gladiator fighting ring. And now, they are capturing supernaturals to experiment on, creating a new race of hybrid creatures. Because Avani can shift his emerald-green scales into the black of onyx, those he saves have started to call him The Dark Protector.
Merethyl is an elven princess. She and her brother, Yhendorn, are captured by hunters when her family is attacked, her parents slaughtered in front of her. She and Yhendorn are held captive, experimented on, until one day they find a way to escape. As they flee, Yhendorn is re-captured sacrificing himself to make sure Merethyl gets away.
As she runs, the hunters chase her, trying to run her down. Avani hears her and flies to her rescue, killing the hunters that are after her. When he realizes that she smells better than anyone he’s ever smelled before, he knows he must get away from her. He cannot allow her to have the total control over him that claiming him would give her. But Merethyl has nowhere else to go and she needs Avani’s help to rescue her brother.
Will Avani be able to resist the charms of the elven princess, or will he fall to her, claimed, making her his dragonrider?
Aerian – I was left on the doorstep of a woman as a newborn. My parents clearly did not want me. I am an angel, more precisely I am a dark angel.

They were looking for me. I have been on my own since. I have been hiding in Maine for the last few months. I have kept to myself but apparently that was not enough to keep me from finding my mate. I will not give in to this bond. My life depends on keeping under the radar!

And if he gives in to the bond, he might kill her himself.
Venus has a lousy dad and an annoying stepmom. However, that's enough to end there; because her dad (who turned out to be not her real dad) threw her into darkness, which led her to another dimension called Second Earth, a world where the volts, humans with Talent, live.
Like someone who feels lucky, she feels like she was given a second, more decent life. It, as it turned out, wasn't quite what she had thought.
She had only been there a few days and was sentenced to death. Not to mention the fact about who her real biological parents are.
As if that wasn't enough, it was as if her mind was infiltrated by a demon who claimed to be her great-grandfather.
Happiness seemed to be eroded little by little from her and she felt that life as a homeless person on First Earth, her original world, would feel better than here. Her heart became more and more shrouded in gloom and she transformed into the image of someone that the people of Second Earth wanted.
Being a bad person wasn't her choice in the first place, but hell could handle it, Venus thought. She was tired of being a good person.
Then will her ending be as easy as she imagined? Will she be able to turn back into what one would call a good girl? Or is her path to being a sadistic and cruel person the best for her?

I can confidently say there isn't a standalone 'Dark Pupitar' spin-off book published by Viz Media. The Pokémon Adventures manga does feature Pupitar and its evolutionary line prominently in some arcs, particularly in the Gold, Silver & Crystal chapters where Larvitar's story gets emotional depth.
Viz Media has released various Pokémon manga series like 'Pokémon Adventures' and 'Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu', but none specifically focus on a 'Dark Pupitar' variant. The closest you might find is special chapters or bonus content in larger collections. If you're interested in darker Pokémon stories, I'd recommend checking out 'Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai' manga adaptation or fan-made content exploring alternate evolutions.
