Dark Puff typically can only be found in [[Boggly Woods]], though it is seen in one of the [[Glitz Pit]] teams.
Though they are statistically rather weak, they can use a Lightning Charge attack, but it requires charging. A charged-up Dark Puff will hurt [[Mario]] if he jumps on it; if Mario has electrified himself, he can jump on said Dark Puff without taking damage.
