Hey there, Trainers!
We last saw Darkrai a couple months ago, during the 2023 Halloween season, so it’s surprising to see Darkrai back in the raid rotation so soon. However, if you missed Darkrai back in October 2023, you will have a chance to catch yours now. Darkrai will be available for five days starting fromFebruary 15, 2024, at 10:00 am local time until June 19, 2025, at 10:00 am local time.
You can catch Darkrai at the following CP ranges with a minimum of 10/10/10 IVs:
In addition to have a very respectable minimum IV value, Darkrai has one of the top Attack stats in the game - easily top 50 of all Pokemon. It is a very good Pokemon to have at your finger tips, so you should take advantage of Darkrai’s short return and catch a few of them!
Darkrai will be available in both shiny and normal forms. This is what it looks like:
Darkrai is typed very simply - it is only aDark-typePokemon. This makes it weak toBug-, Fairy-, and Fighting-typemoves. It will take reduced damage from Dark, Ghost, and Psychic-type moves, so we want to avoid using these types of moves in our builds.
This legendary Pokemon isweather boosted by Foggyweather conditions. If you may, you should try to catch it during these conditions. The raid will be tough, but you will have a boosted Darkrai that will be immediately viable in most raid content.
You can complete these raids with a team of 3 Trainers with high-level counters and perfect movesets. Most players will not have friends that have this, so it will be safer for you to go out with a team of at least 5-6 Trainers. More Trainers will be better, however, so try to bring as many people as you can.
ensure that you party up to get that sweet Party Play damage bonus to make these raids go by all the quicker! The faster you take Darkrai down, the more catches you may get in!
Recommended Teams
As ever, if you have Shadow variations of the Pokémon listed below, they will be better picks over their normal counterparts.Shadow Pokémon do more damagethan their regular counterparts (even with mediocre IVs), so consider taking them for this raid for the extra damage.
