As a Poké Ball Pokémon
Darkrai appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. 4. When summoned, it uses its signature move, throwing a dark orb that pulls opponents in, puts them to sleep and inflicts continuous damage. This orb lasts for a decent amount of time, able to put those trapped to sleep twice if they are at low percentages. The move does 35% total if the opponent is trapped from the beginning of Darkrai's attack.

Unlike most sleep-inducing attacks, Dark Void is effective against airborne foes, causing them to float helplessly in the middle of the vortex. Once the attack ends, they will fall to the ground and go to sleep. Opponents affected are unable to act apart from move left and right until they touch the ground; this can cause a KO if they happen to fall offstage.

Trivia

 * A glitch with Darkrai allows players to get a large combo in Training mode: if Darkrai appears out of a Poké or Master Ball, when the opponent is trapped in its void and the player grabs them, they will get the credit for all damage taken by the opponent, with each hit counting as a new attack.
