 * This article is about the fake Pretty Cure group from the movie Yes! Pretty Cure 5: Kagami no Kuni no Miracle Daibouken!. For the individual Cure with similar name, please go to Dark Pretty Cure.

Dark Pretty Cure 5 is a group of girls who was created by Shadow in Yes! Pretty Cure 5: Kagami no Kuni no Miracle Daibouken!. They are actually the Crystals of the Mirror Kingdom, recreated after being fused with the power of each Cure. They all represent the dark selves of Pretty Cure before they could transform.

History
The first member of Dark Pretty Cure to be created is Dark Dream, as Shadow got a picture and power of Nozomi already then. Dark Dream is sent to the Princess Land to spy on Pretty Cure and the mascots, as well as watch over Higirin and Midarin. When the girls transform and fight against a Kowaina, Shadow acquires the rest of Pretty Cure's powers, and creates the rest of the copies.

When Pretty Cure and Shadow meet each other in the Mirror Kingdom, Dark Dream presents herself to the girls before the rest of Dark Pretty Cure come forth. They then all take their counterparts to different mirror locations to fight and kill them. However, while fighting, they encounter Pretty Cure's light selves that contrasts the negative emotions Dark Pretty Cure were created of. In the end, Cure Dream decides to spare Dark Dream in order to show her the world's kindness and teach her how to have fun with friends and smile, but the rest of Dark Pretty Cure are killed and returns to their original crystal states. When Pretty Cure and Dark Dream meet Shadow again, they watch in horror as Shadow has collected all Pinkies. However, it is revealed that it was a trick and that there is still one Pinky missing; the pinky that Urara caught earlier. Furious, Shadow tries to kill Cure Dream, but Dark Dream runs in between them, resulting in her crystal bow - her life essence - to be destroyed. She tells Cure Dream that she wishes that they had met in another time, another place, but as she is a fake, it is impossible. As she startes to fade, Dark Dream tells Cure Dream that she still does not know how to smile, but in the end smiles as she disappears.

After Pretty Cure has defeated Shadow, the crystals used to create Dark Pretty Cure becomes their original size, and the girls put them back to where they are supposed to stand, reviving the Mirror Kingdom. In the end, Nozomi and Coco look up at the magenta crystal that had once been Dark Dream and is sad to think that she failed to save a true friend. Coco, however, thinks that it was good that Dark Dream met Nozomi, as she therefore was able to smile.
