I'm not sure what OP means? And yea, obviously if my powers are shadows then fairy-type aren't suddenly going to have some sort of attraction to me. I guess this means instead of a Sylveon army I will create an UMBREON ARMY!!!!!!! I spend way too much time when I play Pokémon games in trying to collect all the Eevee-lutions.

Other than dark type seeing me as their friend and over-lord (I jest, I jest), I could use Pokémon abilities? Like moves that are affiliated with the dark type, I could utilize? Example: I could use the move 'Night Slash', since it is a dark type move. But I couldn't use something like Tackle, since that is a normal type move.
