Darkrai is a black, shadow-like Pokémon. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly plume billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, with the portion on its face resembling hair. It also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. It normally does not have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages in their place. In self-defense, Darkrai can retract its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth | Darkrai is a black, shadow-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Darkrai | Darkrai is known to "inhabit" dreams and causes the target to have unending nightmares, which can be stopped if exposed to a [[Lunar Feather]] from {{p|Cresselia}}. However, the "unleashing of nightmares" is actually a defense mechanism, instead of an intentionally malicious act. Darkrai is capable of flying at high speeds, and it can become a shadow in order to escape danger or contact with humans. It is also capable of some human speech. In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', it was shown its power was weaker than that of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Its relationship to its counterpart, Cresselia, can vary between individuals and [[canon]]s, with some being antagonistic, as seen ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'' and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], or cooperative, as seen in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]''. As seen in ''Sleepless In Pre-Battle!'', Darkrai does not only cause nightmares; it is also attracted to them. It can also go around objects it is attracted to several times, as seen in the mentioned episode and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. Shadows of Almia also reveal Darkrai can use an ability called ''Dark Powe''r to either trap humans or Pokémon in a ''Dark Void'' dimension of total darkness or teleport them to another location. Darkrai is said to be active on nights of the new moon. Darkrai possibly feeds off dreams, characterized by its association with never-ending nightmares. | ||
Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Dark Void}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Bad Dreams}} as an [[Ability]]. | |||

===Main series=== | |||
[[File:Darkrai anime.png|thumb|250px|Darkrai in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] | |||
====Major appearances==== | |||
=====[[Darkrai (M10)]]===== | |||
Darkrai debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as a protagonist. It took the task of holding off the fighting between {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} until {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} could put the [[Oración]] disk in the [[Space-Time Towers]] music player to calm the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] down. It reappeared in a cameo in the ending credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. | |||
====Darkrai (recurring)==== | |||
A Darkrai appeared in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'', where it was a target of [[Matori]] and the [[Matori Matrix]], along with {{OBP|Cresselia|recurring}}. | |||
Darkrai's known moves are {{m|Dark Pulse}} and {{m|Dark Void}}, and its Ability is {{a|Bad Dreams}}. | |||
=====Other===== | |||
Darkrai made its main series debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Unlike the Darkrai in ''The Rise of Darkrai'', this Darkrai was maliciously causing nightmares, much like the one in the {{pkmn|games}}. According to [[Officer Jenny]], it comes at a certain time every year. In the episode, however, it came earlier due to it being lured out by {{TRT}}'s machine, which was also causing nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it from giving nightmares, but due to Darkrai's early arrival, the people in [[Canalave City]] had nightmares for several days. One night, it was concealing itself when {{p|Cresselia}} used its abilities to reveal it from the darkness. The two then battled and Darkrai hid itself once more in the shadows. | |||
In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', a mysterious {{pkmn|Trainer}} competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] with a Darkrai. In [[DP184|the following episode]], [[Conway]] revealed that the Trainer, {{si|Tobias}}, had easily defeated eight [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] using only Darkrai. In the [[Sinnoh League]] semifinals, this Darkrai was used against Ash, where it easily defeated {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Torkoal}}, and {{AP|Gible}}. However, it was defeated by [[Ash's Sceptile]] in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''. | |||
In ''[[PK26|Pikachu, What's This Key?]]'', {{MTR}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and {{TP|James|Inkay}} visited a Darkrai courtesy of {{p|Klefki}}'s keys. Darkrai scared them out of a dark world in which it resided. | |||
In ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', a Darkrai was the source of {{AP|Pikachu}}, Meowth, and [[Squishy]]'s nightmare. Darkrai eventually left as soon as it was spotted by Ash and his friends. | |||
====Minor appearances==== | |||
A Darkrai appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. | |||
====Pokédex entries==== | |||

{{Animedexbody|DP104|Darkrai|Dawn's Pokédex|Darkrai, the Pitch-Black Pokémon. Legend has it that on a moonless night, Darkrai will {{m|Dark Void|lure people to sleep}} and {{a|Bad Dreams|unleash nightmares}} upon them.}} | |||

In ''[[PS302|Phew for Mew]]'', [[Sird]] let out a beam of light from a {{i|Poké Ball}} in an attempt to recapture {{adv|Deoxys}}. When {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s attack collided with the beam, it caused {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} to turn to stone. In ''[[PS414|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV]]'', the beam was revealed to have been Darkrai. In ''[[PS438|The Final Dimensional Duel VIII]]'', Sird was revealed to have {{pkmn2|released}} it into the [[Distortion World]], where it clashed with [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Cresselia}} and was briefly controlled by [[Charon]]. After escaping from {{p|Giratina}}'s realm, it left to parts unknown. | |||

====Trophy information==== | |||
'''NA''': ''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. '' | |||
'''PAl''': ''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=== | ===Origin=== | ||
Darkrai's appearance and abilities suggest it is based on the concept of {{wp|nightmare}}s or a {{wp|mare (folklore)|mare}}. Resembling a {{wp|shadow}}, it may also have been inspired by the {{wp|bogeyman}}, the Greek god {{wp|Morpheus}}, {{wp|genie}}s (or {{wp|jinn}}), or the {{wp|Oneiros|Oneiroi}}, namely {{wp|Phobetor}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|nocnitsa}} from Slavic folklore, an evil spirit that torments children with horrible nightmares, slowly draining them of their life energy with each passing night. Supposedly, the only way to protect oneself from a nocnitsa is by placing a knife or special stone underneath a pillow, similar to how victims of Darkrai's nightmares can only be woken up with the [[Lunar Feather]]. In contrast to its counterpart Cresselia's association with the crescent moon, Darkrai appears to represent the {{wp|new moon}}. | |||
====Name origin==== | ====Name origin==== | ||
Darkrai | Darkrai may be a combination of ''dark'' and 暗い ''kurai'' (dark). | ||

Darkrai (Japanese: ダークライ Darkrai) is a Dark-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
It was officially revealed in February 2007.
It is a member of the lunar duo with Cresselia.
Darkrai is the last Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex.
Biology
Darkrai is a black, shadow-like Pokémon. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly plume billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, with the portion on its face resembling hair. It also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. It normally does not have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages in their place. In self-defense, Darkrai can retract its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth.
Darkrai is known to "inhabit" dreams and causes the target to have unending nightmares, which can be stopped if exposed to a Lunar Feather from Cresselia. However, the "unleashing of nightmares" is actually a defense mechanism, instead of an intentionally malicious act. Darkrai is capable of flying at high speeds, and it can become a shadow in order to escape danger or contact with humans. It is also capable of some human speech. In The Rise of Darkrai, it was shown its power was weaker than that of Dialga and Palkia. Its relationship to its counterpart, Cresselia, can vary between individuals and canons, with some being antagonistic, as seen Sleepless In Pre-Battle! and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, or cooperative, as seen in Nightfall? Nightmares! and A Midsummer Night's Light!. As seen in Sleepless In Pre-Battle!, Darkrai does not only cause nightmares; it is also attracted to them. It can also go around objects it is attracted to several times, as seen in the mentioned episode and Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. Shadows of Almia also reveal Darkrai can use an ability called Dark Power to either trap humans or Pokémon in a Dark Void dimension of total darkness or teleport them to another location. Darkrai is said to be active on nights of the new moon. Darkrai possibly feeds off dreams, characterized by its association with never-ending nightmares.
Darkrai is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Dark Void. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Bad Dreams as an Ability.

In the anime
Main series
Major appearances
Darkrai (M10)
Darkrai debuted in The Rise of Darkrai as a protagonist. It took the task of holding off the fighting between Dialga and Palkia until Ash and Dawn could put the Oración disk in the Space-Time Towers music player to calm the two Legendary Pokémon down. It reappeared in a cameo in the ending credits of Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
Darkrai (recurring)
A Darkrai appeared in Nightfall? Nightmares! and A Midsummer Night's Light!, where it was a target of Matori and the Matori Matrix, along with Cresselia.
Darkrai's known moves are Dark Pulse and Dark Void, and its Ability is Bad Dreams.
Other
Darkrai made its main series debut in Sleepless In Pre-Battle!. Unlike the Darkrai in The Rise of Darkrai, this Darkrai was maliciously causing nightmares, much like the one in the games. According to Officer Jenny, it comes at a certain time every year. In the episode, however, it came earlier due to it being lured out by Team Rocket's machine, which was also causing nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it from giving nightmares, but due to Darkrai's early arrival, the people in Canalave City had nightmares for several days. One night, 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 League Unleashed!, a mysterious Trainer competed in the Lily of the Valley Conference with a Darkrai. In the following episode, Conway revealed that the Trainer, Tobias, had easily defeated eight Gym Leaders of the Sinnoh region using only Darkrai. In the Sinnoh League semifinals, this Darkrai was used against Ash, where it easily defeated Heracross, Torkoal, and Gible. However, it was defeated by Ash's Sceptile in The Semi-Final Frontier!.
In Pikachu, What's This Key?, Meowth, Wobbuffet, and Inkay visited a Darkrai courtesy of Klefki's keys. Darkrai scared them out of a dark world in which it resided.
In Dream a Little Dream from Me!, a Darkrai was the source of Pikachu, Meowth, and Squishy's nightmare. Darkrai eventually left as soon as it was spotted by Ash and his friends.

Trivia
- Darkrai's effort value yield of 2 Special Attack and 1 Speed is unique.
- Darkrai has two different portrait pictures in both Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.
- Sailor Eldritch's son says "Dar... Dark... Is watching me..." in his sleep before the player cures his nightmare. It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
- In the early Japanese versions of Diamond and Pearl, Darkrai can be caught with the Surf glitch. However, this glitch was fixed in other language versions. Another glitch has been discovered that allows players of other language releases to reach Darkrai without the Member Card.
- This has been remedied in Pokémon Platinum, however, as Darkrai itself will not appear on the island without the event ticket.
- Darkrai was designed by Hironobu Yoshida.[1]
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, Darkrai is the only non-Ghost type Pokémon capable of traveling through walls and all other terrain types without the All-Terrain Hiker IQ skill.
- Despite being a gender-unknown Pokémon, the Darkrai in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, and Explorers of Sky is referred to as a male.
Origin
Darkrai's appearance and abilities suggest it is based on the concept of nightmares or a mare. Resembling a shadow, it may also have been inspired by the bogeyman, the Greek god Morpheus, genies (or jinn), or the Oneiroi, namely Phobetor. It may also be based on the nocnitsa from Slavic folklore, an evil spirit that torments children with horrible nightmares, slowly draining them of their life energy with each passing night. Supposedly, the only way to protect oneself from a nocnitsa is by placing a knife or special stone underneath a pillow, similar to how victims of Darkrai's nightmares can only be woken up with the Lunar Feather. In contrast to its counterpart Cresselia's association with the crescent moon, Darkrai appears to represent the new moon.
Name origin
Darkrai may be a combination of dark and 暗い kurai (dark).
