Darkrai Moves Overview

Darkrai has the ability Regenerator, which deals damage over time to nearby sleeping opposing Pokémon.

Darkrai's first move slot consists of Hypnosis, which can upgrade into Dark Void or Shadow Claw. Hypnosis deals damage to opposing Pokémon by employing hypnotic suggestions and makes them fall asleep after a short time. Dark Void deals damage to opposing Pokémon with a dark power and marks them, which makes them fall asleep when receiving damage afterwards. Psycho Cut deals damage to opposing Pokémon with sharp claws made from shadows and also marks them, making them fall asleep when receiving damage afterwards.

Darkrai's second move slot consists of Calm Mind, which can upgrade into Nasty Plot or Dark Pulse. Calm Mind increases the user's Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and movement speed for a short time. Nasty Plot gives the user a counter which deals additional damage depending on the number of counters consumed. Dark Pulse has the user hide in shadows, move freely in them, deal damage to Pokémon and return to the shadow.

Darkrai's Unite Move is Worst Nightmare (深き悪夢へのいざない Invitation to the Deep Nightmare), which has the Sure Hit effect. This move has the user send the designated opposing Pokémon into a nightmare. The user then suddenly appears in the nightmare. Pokémon inside the nightmare take damage over time. When the user deals damage to the opposing Pokémon inside the nightmare, damage is also dealt to that same opposing Pokémon outside of the nightmare. When this move is used, all of the user's move cooldowns are reset.
