## Minor Feats

### Attack Potency/Strength

* Created the Dark Realm, which is similar to the Light Realm.
* Shook the entire Dark Realm.
* Stronger than Tabuu, who embodies the Great Maze.

### Durability/Endurance

* Took hits from the Smash Fighters.
* Can take hits from Galeem.

### Skill/Intelligence

* Captured and took control of the real Crazy Hand.

* After Galeem's defeat, created the Dark Realm and took the remaining fighters and spirits that isn't Roy or Palutena.
* Defeated Galeem and swallowed the whole world in darkness, defeating all the fighters in a non-canon ending.

## Powerscaling

Despite lacking feats, Dharkon poses as a threat to Galeem, who has shown to have the best feats in the series. However, they were defeated by the Smash Fighters, in which they should scale to Dharkon and Galeem's feats even if they are the strongest.

## Weaknesses

* Dharkon's eye is his exposable weak point.
* If attacked too many times, Dharkon can be stunned for a short time.
* If Galeem gets involved, Dharkon will get distracted and fight him.
