How to Use Worst Nightmare

Use on Key Targets

It's best to save Worst Nightmare for key targets like the opponents' carry or strongest Pokemon. The move already deals a ton of damage by itself given that it always triggers Bad Dreams and also deals damage over time for the whole duration. But Darkrai can deal more damage during Worst Nightmare by using its other moves and attacking the target.

Utilize the Cooldown Reset Mechanic

All of Darkrai's normal move cooldowns will reset when it uses Worst Nightmare. Take advantage of this mechanic to chain together moves and deal more damage.
