A key change to the Dark type was the immunity to Prankster. One thing that it could do is force Sableye to immediately Mega evolve instead of trying to use Prankster for a turn or two.

Dark having access to some of the most powerful utility moves in the game in Knock Off, Pursuit, Taunt, Parting Shot, and Sucker Punch, combined with it only being resisted by 3 types including itself (2 including itself prior to Fairy), made it far scarier than it should have been for its time. In exchange for not having as many types to hit super effectively, you are instead busting through mechanics (items, switching, status moves, turn order). Being immune to one of the most common offensive types of all time (Psychic) and resisting the second or third best offensive type now (Ghost) added to its defensive prowess. Prankster status immunity added to its repertoire. And yes having Pokémon with legendary stats did not help, especially when these Pokémon do a good job at checking the constant surge of high tiered Ghosts and Psychics being introduced into the game.
