[[Cresselia]] is Darkrai's counterpart and rival, and together they form the [[Lunar Duo]]. ==Biology== ===Physiology=== The top of its body is connected to the lower half by a tiny waist, giving it an hourglass shaped figure. It has a red spiky growth around its neck and a long white mane flows from its head, obscuring one of its blue eyes. Its thin arms have three claws each, with three spiky protrusions above each elbow. Its shoulders also have long tatters and it appears to be wearing an old ripped cloak or dress. It is able to extend stilt-like extensions to use as legs. Darkrai resembles a ghost or a haunted spirit but it is interesting to note that, despite it's design, Darkrai is not a Ghost type, instead being a pure Dark type. ===Behaviour=== Darkrai is shown to be mysterious, sinister and ominous, yet extremely misunderstood. It's also shown to be a creature of habit for it causes nightmares, regardless of who it affects. However, there is very little evidence to prove it maliciously scares humans on purpose. It is hostile to [[Cresselia]]. ==Evolution== Darkrai does not [[Evolution|evolve]]. ==Game info== Darkrai first appeared in the [[Generation IV]] games [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]. To obtain it, a player would have had to receive a [[Mystery Gift]] during a special promotion. It is also obtainable by using a cheat device to either receive the [[Mystery Gift]] or walk to the island it is located on. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Darkrai featured in a special mission named ''Liberate the Tower''. It can be found in the location where Darkrai helped you before. It uses its ability, Dark Power, to fend off [[Team Dim Sun]]. However, the mission is no longer available for download. It was possible to send Darkrai to [[Pokémon Diamond]], [[Pokémon Pearl|Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]]. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time And Explorers of Darkness]], Darkrai is the main antagonist of those games. It is discovered that Darkrai was the reason that the Hero was turned into a [[Pokémon]] and lost his or her memory when he or she had gone back in time with [[Grovyle]] to stop the temporal tower from breaking and causing [[Dialga]] to turn into [[Primal Dialga]]. After the final battle against Darkrai, he attempts to escape in a time portal, when [[Palkia]], who is angered that Darkrai used him, shows up and destroys the time portal as Darkrai is halfway through it. He sustains a lot of damage, loses his memory and gets banished to an unknown place. ===Game locations=== {{Game Locations |type =Dark |diamondpearl=[[Newmoon Island]] (requires [[Member Card]]) |dprarity=One |platinum=[[Newmoon Island]] (requires [[Member Card]]) |ptrarity=One |heartgoldsoulsilver=Trade |hgssrarity=None |blackwhite=Mystery Gift |bwrarity=Event |xy=Transfer |xyrarity=Event |omegarubyalphasapphire = Trade |orasrarity = Event |sunmoon=Transfer |smrarity=}} ===Pokédex entries=== {{PokédexEntry |type =Dark |gen =IV |diamond=It can lull people to sleep and make them dream.

===Anime=== {{Main|Darkrai (MS010)}} Darkrai first appeared in the [[Pokémon]] movie ''[[MS010: Pokémon - The Rise of Darkrai|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It was seen protecting [[Alice]], whose grandmother [[Alicia]] had been kind to it in the past. It then intervened in the cosmic conflict between [[Dialga]] and [[Palkia]]. It also makes a cameo appearance in the end credits for ''[[MS012: Pokémon - Arceus and the Jewel of Life|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', along with [[Shaymin]]. Darkrai next appeared in Sleepless in Pre-Battle, which was its anime debut. It caused nightmares, much like it can in the games. It was concealing itself when [[Cresselia]] used its abilities to reveal it from the darkness. The two then battled and Darkrai hid itself once more in the shadows. In its debut movie ''The Rise of Darkrai'', Darkrai usually hovers above the ground, but it can sprout long thin legs with which it can walk around like a person. Another Darkrai appeared under the ownership of a trainer who competed in the Sinnoh League named [[Tobias]] in ''[[DP183: League Unleashed!|League Unleashed!]]'' *[[Darkrai (DP104)]] *[[Tobias' Darkrai|Tobias Darkrai]] *[[Darkrai (XY098)]] *[[Darkrai (Pikachu, What's This Key?)]] ===In the TCG=== * There is a box set available that includes a deck, booster pack, a Darkrai card, and an oversized version of the Darkrai card. Card Text: It can lull people to sleep and make them dream. * There was also a Japanese card with Darkrai- Darkrai G. It was a DPt-P Promo. It had the Poke-BODY Eerie Aura, and Attack Dark Sleep. ==Trivia== *Darkrai and [[Yveltal]] are the only {{Type|Dark}}-type Mythical and Legendary [[Pokémon]]. **Darkrai is pure {{Type|Dark}} type, as opposed to Yveltal which is part {{Type|Flying}} type. *Darkrai is the only pure {{Type|Dark}}-type Pokémon of [[Generation IV]]. *Despite having a ghostly image, it is not part {{Type|Ghost}}-type, and instead, a {{Type|Dark}}-type. *Also, despite being able to fly, it cannot [[Levitate]], and is not a {{Type|Flying}}-type. *Darkrai is based on a being of darkness. Each one in the anime so far with the exception of in [[The Rise of Darkrai]] have incredibly dark natures and can almost be considered evil. However, Darkrai is truly not evil and actually means no harm as revealed by a mysterious voice after defeating or capturing it on [[Newmoon Island]], as like [[Lugia]], it cannot control its power. Any organic being that goes near it will suffer horrendous [[nightmare]]s, whether or not Darkrai wills it. Because of this, it chooses to seclude himself on [[Newmoon Island]], similar to how [[Lugia]] chose to seclude herself deep in the [[Whirl Islands]]/[[Navel Rock]], in order to [[protect]] people from its power. However, its power seems to leak into [[Canalave City]] due to its close proximity to it. *Darkrai is the final boss in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia|Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia]] although the Colossal [[Pokémon]] [[Regigigas]] is fought when all other Pokémon have been caught at least once, however this is not technically considered a final boss. *Darkrai's eyes are similar to the [[Dawn Stone]] as it mentions in the description "It sparkles like eyes". *In Super Smash Bros. Darkrai is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Pokéballs. During this time, it uses the move [[Dark Void]]. *It is genderless, however its counterpart, [[Cresselia]], is female only. **Also, even though Cresselia is its Legendary counterpart, Darkrai is a Mythical Pokémon rather than a Legendary like Cresselia. ==Gallery== <gallery orientation="none"> 491Darkrai DP anime.png 491Darkrai DP anime 2.png 491Darkrai DP anime 3.png 491Darkrai DP anime 4.png 491Darkrai DP anime 5.png 491Darkrai DP anime 6.png 491Darkrai XY anime.png 491Darkrai Dream.png 491Darkrai Dream 2.png 491Darkrai PP2.png 491Darkrai Pokemon 20th Anniversary.png 491Darkrai Pokemon PokéPark.jpg 491Darkrai Pokemon PokéPark 2.jpg 491Darkrai Pokémon HOME.png Darkrai Pokken Tournament DX.png Darkrai trophy SSBB.png Darkrai trophy SSBWU.png 491Darkrai TCG Model.jpg Darkrai-GO.png Darkrai event Pokemon Platinum.jpg Darkrai attacking Dialga and Palkia.png|Illustration of Darkrai attacking Dialga and Palkia. darkrai.png Cresselia and Darkrai DP4 artwork.png SSBUDarkrai.png </gallery> {{References|darkrai|491}} {{Legendary}} {{GenIVnav}} {{PokémonPrevNext|prev=Manaphy|next=Shaymin}} [[ca:Darkrai]] [[de:Darkrai]] [[it:Darkrai]] [[pl:Darkrai]] [[pt-br:Darkrai]] Templates used on the current version of this page: Template:!
