Darkrai is known to "inhabit" dreams and causes the target to have unending nightmares, which can be stopped if exposed to a [[Lunar Wing]] from {{p|Cresselia}}. However, the "unleashing of nightmares" is actually a defense mechanism, instead of an intentionally malicious act. It can become a shadow and escape danger or contact of humans. It is also capable of little human speech. In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', it was shown its power was little of that of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. As seen in [[DP104|an anime episode]], 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]]. Darkrai possibly feeds off dreams, characterized by its association with never-ending nightmares. Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Dark Void}}. | Darkrai is known to "inhabit" dreams and causes the target to have unending nightmares, which can be stopped if exposed to a [[Lunar Wing]] from {{p|Cresselia}}.

Darkrai made its {{pkmn|anime}} debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Unlike the Darkrai in the film, this Darkrai was ''causing'' nightmares, much like 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 by {{TRT}}'s machine that was causing nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it giving nightmares but due to Darkrai's early coming, 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. | Darkrai made its {{pkmn|anime}} TV debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''.

In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', a mysterious {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] was shown to have 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 semi-finals, this Darkrai easily defeated [[Ash's Heracross]], {{AP|Torkoal}}, and {{AP|Gible}}.

In ''[[PS302|Phew for Mew]]'', [[Sird]] let out a beam of light from a [[Poké Ball]] upon seeing {{adv|Deoxys}} leaving for space. Thinking that Sird was trying to retrieve Deoxys, {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} tried to stop her, and {{adv|Mewtwo}} charged into the light of the Poké Ball. Within moments, the five [[Pokédex Holder]]s were turned into stone, and a black shadow appeared in front of Sird. When Sird reappeared in front of her [[Team Galactic]] colleagues in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} and explained what happened, the black shadow was revealed to be Darkrai, though Sird still did not reveal its name. Darkrai later reappeared in ''[[PS414|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV]]'', where it was revealed that Sird had released it into the Distortion World. It first faced its arch-rival {{p|Cresselia}}. [[Charon]] later took control of the Pokémon, and, along with Giratina and Heatran, used it in a battle against the Sinnoh Legendary Pokémon in the climax of the chapter. Darkrai was later freed from the control of Charon, and departed to parts unknown. | |||

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.
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 Wing from Cresselia. However, the "unleashing of nightmares" is actually a defense mechanism, instead of an intentionally malicious act. It can become a shadow and escape danger or contact of humans. It is also capable of little human speech. In The Rise of Darkrai, it was shown its power was little of that of Dialga and Palkia. As seen in an anime episode, 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. Darkrai possibly feeds off dreams, characterized by its association with never-ending nightmares. Darkrai is the only known Pokémon that learns Dark Void.
In the anime
Major appearances
Darkrai (M10)
Darkrai starred in the first Diamond & Pearl series movie, The Rise of Darkrai as the hero of the movie, taking the task of holding off the fighting between Dialga and Palkia until Ash and Dawn could put the Oración disk in the Space-Time Tower music player to calm the two Legendary Pokémon down. It reappeared in a cameo in the end credits of Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
Other
Darkrai made its anime TV debut in Sleepless In Pre-Battle!. Unlike the Darkrai in the film, this Darkrai was causing nightmares, much like 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 by Team Rocket's machine that was causing nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it giving nightmares but due to Darkrai's early coming, 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 in the Lily of the Valley Conference was shown to have 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 semi-finals, this Darkrai easily defeated Ash's Heracross, Torkoal, and Gible. However, it was defeated by Ash's Sceptile in The Semi-Final Frontier!.
A Darkrai appeared in the Pikachu short, Pikachu, What's This Key?.
A Darkrai appeared in Dream a Little Dream from Me!. It was the source of Pikachu, Meowth, and Squishy's nightmare.

Darkrai plays a major role in the first Diamond & Pearl series movie, The Rise of Darkrai. Likewise, it appears in the manga adaptation of the film by Ryo Takamisaki.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In Phew for Mew, Sird let out a beam of light from a Poké Ball upon seeing Deoxys leaving for space. Thinking that Sird was trying to retrieve Deoxys, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver tried to stop her, and Mewtwo charged into the light of the Poké Ball. Within moments, the five Pokédex Holders were turned into stone, and a black shadow appeared in front of Sird. When Sird reappeared in front of her Team Galactic colleagues in the Diamond & Pearl arc and explained what happened, the black shadow was revealed to be Darkrai, though Sird still did not reveal its name. Darkrai later reappeared in Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV, where it was revealed that Sird had released it into the Distortion World. It first faced its arch-rival Cresselia. Charon later took control of the Pokémon, and, along with Giratina and Heatran, used it in a battle against the Sinnoh Legendary Pokémon in the climax of the chapter. Darkrai was later freed from the control of Charon, and departed to parts unknown.

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.
- If Darkrai was the cause of the sailor's son's nightmares, it can be assumed Darkrai is aware that the player cured the boy using Cresselia's Lunar Wing. When the player takes the Member Card to the Harbor Inn, the innkeeper (presumably an illusion created by Darkrai) states that he has been waiting for the player's arrival.
- 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.
Origin
Darkrai's appearance and abilities suggest it is based on the concept of nightmares. Resembling a shadow, it may also have been inspired by the bogeyman, the Greek god Morpheus, genies (or jinn), or the Oneiroi, namely Phobetor.
Name origin
Darkrai is a combination of dark, and 暗い kurai (dark) or "rai" (Hindi for king).
