Shell Bell |
Amazing Special Attacker with decent Bulk. Access to Nasty Plot lets it set-up faster. Its Speed lets it take advantage of Dark Pulse's ability to flinch giving you free turns. |
While its signature ability Bad Dreams has no useful effect in Tera Raids, Darkrai still has amazing offensive capabilities that is only made better by having access to Nasty Plot.
Combined with Double Team and Dark Pulse's chance to flinch, the Raid Boss should have trouble landing a hit with this build.
We also recommend getting Darkrai with a Dark Tera Type to increase the damage of Dark Pulse. As a Special Attacker, a Modest nature would work best for this Pokemon.
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards increasing the Pokemon's HP and Sp.Atk stats. Max out these EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Sp. Def. Equip the Pokemon with a Shell Bell to give it passive healing when it uses an attacking move.
Darkrai Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Optional | Use Taunt to prevent the Raid Boss from using Status moves. |
Turn 1~3 | Use Nasty Plot to boost Darkrai's Special Attack |
Optional | Use Double Team to score some free turns from the Raid Boss. |
Turns 4~6 | Use Dark Pulse to build up Tera Orb Charges. |
Turns 8+ | Terastallize and use Dark Pulse until the Raid Boss is defeated. Feel free to reset any buffs you might have lost. |
Start the raid by setting up Nasty Plot to boost Darkrai's Sp. Atk. to +6. You can also use Taunt to prevent the Raid Boss from using Status moves or Double Team to score some free turns from the Raid Boss.
With maxed out Special Attack, Darkrai's Dark Pulse will make quick work out of the Raid Boss.

Currently, the only other way to get Darkrai outside of transferring one over from Pokemon HOME is to get it from a Mystery Gift distribution.
This distribution will only last from December 7, 2023 to December 21, 2023 (23:59 UTC), so make sure to grab it before it's gone for good!
Mythical Pokemon Darkrai Mystery Gift Code
A short cutscene will play out once you reach Darkrai's location. Prepare to fight and weaken it to increase your chances of capturing it.
This request will only be available after completing the main story of the game. You also need to have a save file from either Pokemon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl in your Nintendo Switch and load up Pokemon Legends: Arceus on the same account as that save data.
Darkrai was able to be captured through an in-game event in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (BDSP) involving the Member Card, which could be obtained via Mystery Gift from April 1 up until May 1, 2022.

If it has a different nature, you can use Modest Mint to change its nature to Modest.
The easiest way to get this is by buying it from the Chansey Supply shop at Mesagoza for ₽20,000.
How to Change a Pokemon's Nature
EV train Darkrai according to the build's EV spread using Vitamins, Mochis, or the traditional way with Power Items and battling Pokemon with the right EV yield.
Vitamins can be bought at any Chansey Supply shop and it will cost you ₽530,000 to fully train a Pokemon. Meanwhile, Mochi can be obtained through the Ogre Oustin' Minigame.
If you have the money for it, you can just buy 26 HP Up (for HP), 26 Calcium (for Sp. Atk), and 1 Iron (for Def). You can also use the respective Mochi if you prefer.
Alternatively, you can use Power Items that you can buy at a Delibird Presents shop for ₽10,000 each. Have your Pokemon hold the respective Power Item while defeating the Pokemon listed below.

A Bottle Cap can be bought at the Delibird Presents shops for ₽20,000 after getting 6 Gym Badges. 1 Bottle Cap is needed for each stat that will be maxed out.
