A Darkinium Z in the anime

Team Rocket obtained a Darkinium Z in A Team-on-Team Tussle!, which some Team Skull Grunts also tried to obtain from a nest of Alolan Rattata and Raticate, with one of the Raticate being a Totem Pokémon. The same Z-Crystal reappeared in Acting True to Form!; Jessie and James believed that they could use it with the Alolan Meowth they had just met, but discovered that they needed a Z-Ring to do so. They were finally able to perform Black Hole Eclipse with James's Mareanie in Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime? after obtaining a Z-Power Ring from Nanu. When Team Rocket left Alola in Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, they left their Z-Power Ring behind, along with their Darkinium Z.

Nanu used a Darkinium Z in Guiding an Awakening! to have his Alolan Persian perform Black Hole Eclipse during his grand trial battle against Ash. After Ash defeated Nanu, Nanu contemplated giving Ash a Darkinium Z as a prize, but then quickly decided to give him a Lycanium Z instead.

A full set of type-specific Z-Crystals, including the Darkinium Z, appeared in A Grand Debut!, where Hapu allowed Ash to choose his grand trial prize from them.

A full set of replicas of the type-specific Z-Crystals, including the Darkinium Z, also appeared in A Team-on-Team Tussle!, where they were shown to Ash and his classmates by Professor Kukui.

In the manga
