Actually, if I recall correctly, the Dark Sider did have a name, what was it again? Oh yeah, Lomi Plo. 🙄

Deliberate ignorance doesn't suit you.
And as Lomi wasn't a Sith, she could be stronger than Sidious without it going against the "Sidious is the strongest Sith quote."
She could be, but in a history of thousands of Dark Siders, which ones, on average, have you ever seen that matched any of the Sith Lords, much less their greatest member? DE Sidious, in one of his duels with Luke, killed stormtroopers simply in the act of moving. He destroyed an entire fleet with the might of his Force Storm. He threw massive numbers of senate pods at Yoda, at high velocities, after nearly matching the masterful Jedi in swordsmanship. In a lightsaber duel, he matched DE Luke, who, in addition to being an extremely flexible and capable lightsaber combatant, was being empowered by Leia and her infant, and thus possibly surpassed Anakin in sheer force power. When defeated by Skywalkers, he cheated death, multiple times.
The most we've ever seen Lomi Plo do was almost-kinda-sorta-overpower Luke, once. When has she ever come close to matching Sidious' observed power?
And then later on, Luke, when he was actually putting all his effort into it and was focused, pwned her *and* Thul at the same time.
Maybe because Lomi was so strong, that he lost his confidence? And in what way was he weakened?
NJO Luke at his height chopped through dozens of elite Yuuzhan Vong slayers faster than Jacen or Jaina could perceive. When he actually tried at the end of the series, he beat both Plo and Thul in moments; the entire latter part of the third story goes on and on about how Luke's all depressed and lacks confidence. When his mental issues are solved, he obliterates both of them.
People say that Krayt got so much stronger since he became a Sith. Who below could beat all of them at once, anyways?
Since there's not much to indicate that Hett was particularly amazing relative to the rest of the Jedi to begin with, him becoming "so much stronger" wouldn't necessarily put him even above Kol, whose only observed feat of power is owning large numbers of lightsaber goons.
Darth Talon lost to Cade Skywalker, despite his last appreciable amount of training being when he was fourteen years old, and weakening himself in the betweentime by using all the deathsticks he could find and avoiding the Force.
There's still not much known about Nihl, whose only known ability is being able to catch Cade by surprise and stun him, after the aforementioned defeat of Talon. Presumably Nihl is significantly stronger than Talon is.
I very much doubt that ROTS Anakin would lose, at his very best. Kol Skywalker could win, although it might be a hard fight. Not particularly sure about the others, I admit. Any of the people above could give them at least a good fight, however.
I'm not very familiar with the Legacy-era characters, so I could be wrong. However, my points against Plo stand.
