Dark Rust

Dark Rust (Japanese: くろのラスト Black Rust) is a living Wonder Key and the embodiment of ruin that appears in Pokémon Rumble Blast. It commands the Dark Legion, which is made up of Rusty Toy Pokémon. It is first seen at Fallaway Edge, and later can be fought in the fifth and final chamber of the Team Battle in World Axle - Deepest Level. Halfway through the battle, Cobalion sacrifices itself to destroy Dark Rust's barrier and stop the Dark Legion. It is the final boss of Pokémon Rumble Blast.

Powers

• It is able to control Toy Pokémon by "Rusting" them. Rusty Pokémon become members of the Dark Legion.
• Glowdrops are not able to clean the rust it makes.
• In the final battle, it will enclose itself in a barrier every time its HP drops to half. The barrier blocks all attacks and restores its HP until it is at full health. This ability is removed halfway through the battle due to Cobalion's sacrifice to break it.
• It is able to use a surrounding wave attack despite being neither a Pokémon nor a Toy Pokémon.
• Despite not being a true Pokémon, Dark Rust has its own cry.
• It can shoot four projectiles in front of it three times in succession, or it can shoot them all around itself once.
• Like most bosses, it can summon minions. It summons Sigilyph and Unown.
• During the battle, it also has many turrets around it, and all of them shoot gears.

Trivia

• It is the first creature in the Pokémon Rumble series that can be fought, but is not a Pokémon.
