Movie star spotlight: Darkrai

• Darkrai (Japanese: ダークライ Darkrai) is one of the stars in The Rise of Darkrai.
• Alicia, Alice's grandmother, helped Darkrai when she found him injured in a garden in Alamos Town, and ever since then, Darkrai had stayed in that garden. Darkrai started to have special attachment to Alice as he believed she was her grandmother.
• Darkrai was mistaken as evil during the movie, attacking people and Pokémon. By using Dark Void to put them to sleep, he was able to use Bad Dreams Ability to give them nightmares.
• It was only later that it was revealed that Darkrai was actually trying to prevent Dialga and Palkia from destroying Alamos Town. He ended up sacrificing himself to protect the town and everyone in it after a battle with Dialga and Palkia.
• Darkrai was shown to have been revived later on and was watching the town when everything was restored by Palkia.
• In the exact same garden, Darkrai made a cameo appearance during the credits of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, the last film in the trilogy.
• Darkrai is the first of its kind to appear in the anime, followed later on by a wild Darkrai and Tobias's Darkrai.
• Following its starring role in The Rise of Darkrai, Darkrai knowing Roar of Time and Spacial Rend were available through various distribution events. Availability in Shadows of Almia and through the Member Card followed much later.
• A card of Darkrai knowing Dialga's and Palkia's signature moves were also made available, following the movie.
