The '''Tower of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|あくの塔|あくのとう}}''' ''Tower of Evil'') is a landmark on the [[Isle of Armor]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. It is one of the [[Towers of Two Fists]], and it is where the {{player}} goes during [[The Isle of Armor]] Expansion Pass if they wish to [[evolution|evolve]] their {{p|Kubfu}} into a {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Urshifu|Single Strike Style}} {{p|Urshifu}}. This can be achieved by defeating all the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the tower and having Kubfu examine the [[Scroll of Darkness]] on the top floor. The player is only allowed to enter the tower if Kubfu is the only Pokémon in their [[party]]. However, if the player doesn't have Kubfu in their party or [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]], they can climb the tower with any Pokémon.

If the player chooses to train Kubfu here, the [[Tower of Waters]] becomes inaccessible to them.

The Tower of Darkness appeared in [[PASS35]], where it was spotted by {{Henry}}, {{Casey}}, and [[Marvin]] while they searched for the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]] at [[Challenge Road]]. The next day, they returned to the tower to search for the artifacts, but were denied entry, due to the tower only being open for those {{pkmn|training}} a {{p|Kubfu}}. [[Mustard]] allowed Henry to {{pkmn|battle}} the {{tc|Master Dojo Student}} guarding the tower with the {{TP|Mustard|Kubfu}} he had entrusted with him, but Kubfu was quickly defeated by the guard's {{p|Impidimp}}.

The next night, Kubfu returned to the tower to look for the artifacts, but was easily defeated by the {{p|Urshifu}} guarding the tower. [[PASS36|The next day]], Mustard revealed that the tower had been searched thoroughly following Henry's visit, but no sign of the artifacts was found.

'''Tower of Darkness''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Stadium card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Single Strike Master}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Battle Styles}} expansion, with artwork by [[5ban Graphics]]. In Japan, it was reprinted as a Holofoil card in the {{TCG|Gengar VMAX High-Class Deck}} and as a Non Holofoil card in the {{TCG|VMAX Climax}} subset. It lets players draw 2 cards from their deck, but only if they first discard a {{TCG|Single Strike style|Single Strike}} card from their hand.
