A softer (dark) pencil is a bit easy to blend (especially when you apply the graphite gently and then smudge it) Not always, but sometimes, when you start working with a less than suitable tool for something for which you have a little more expectations and capabilities, you might feel you're doing bad work.
When you are pencil shading, try to shade from the border and then go to the inside. Also, remember to shift from hard pressure to low pressure to create a smooth pencil shading gradient.
