Darkrai

This Dark-type Pokémon can cause people and other Pokémon to experience nightmares. While it is floating in the air, it tucks its legs in so far, it looks like they vanish! In battle it will use a move called Dark Void, which sucks in surrounding opponents and puts them into a deep sleep.

A Pokémon shrouded in mystery, Darkrai has the ability to implant nightmares into the minds of both humans and Pokémon. It has legs, but seems to prefer to float in the air. Its favourite move in this game is Dark Void. When this attack hits something, it creates a vortex that sucks in fighters and puts them to sleep.

Origin

Darkrai is a Dark-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It is focused around sleep and nightmares, and possesses the unique ability Bad Dreams which deals constant damage to sleeping foes. It can be considered a dark counterpart to Cresselia.

Dark Void is Darkrai's signature move, learned at level 66 in all games: it attempts to put all adjacent opponents to sleep.

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.
