||
| − | |||
| − | ==Biology== |
||
| − | ===Appearance=== |
||
| − | The top of its body is connected to the lower half by a tiny waist, giving it an hourglass-shaped figure. It has a red spiky growth around its neck and a long white mane flows from its head, obscuring one of its blue eyes. Its thin arms have three claws each, with three spiky protrusions above each elbow. Its shoulders also have long tatters and it appears to be wearing an old ripped cloak or dress. It is able to extend stilt-like extensions to use as "legs". Darkai resembles a ghost or a haunted spirit. It's appearance suits its ability to give people nightmares. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==In the Anime== |
||
| − | [[File:Dark-Type.jpg|thumb|Darkrai as seen in [[The Rise of Darkrai]]]] |
||
| − | Darkrai first appeared in the [[Pokémon]] movie ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It was seen protecting [[Alice]], whose grandmother [[Alicia]] had been kind to it in the past. It then intervened in the cosmic conflict between [[Dialga]] and [[Palkia]]. It also makes a cameo appearance in the end credits for [[MS012: Pokémon - Arceus and the Jewel of Life|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]], along with [[Shaymin]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Darkrai next appeared in "Sleepless in Pre-Battle", which was its anime debut. It caused nightmares, much like it can in the games. 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 its debut movie "[[The Rise of Darkrai]]" Darkrai usually hovers above the ground, but it can sprout long thin legs with which it can walk around like a person. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Another Darkrai appeared under the ownership of a trainer who competed in the Sinnoh League named [[Tobias]] in DP episode 183. |

|
| − | Darkrai first appeared in the [[Generation IV]] games [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]. To obtain it, a player would have had to receive a [[Mystery Gift]] during a special promotion. It is also obtainable by using a cheat device to either receive the [[Mystery Gift]] or walk to the island it is located on. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Darkrai featured in a special mission named ''"[[Liberate the Tower]]"''. You find it where Darkrai helped you before. However, this time it helps you, and uses it's ability, Dark Power, to fend off [[Team Dim Sun]]. However, the mission is no longer available for download. It was possible to send Darkrai to [[Pokémon Diamond]], [[Pokémon Pearl|Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Explorers of Darkness]], Darkrai is the main antagonist of those games. It is found out that Darkrai was the reason that the Hero was turned into a [[Pokémon]] and lost his or her memory when he or she had gone back in time with [[Grovyle]] to stop the temporal tower from breaking and causing [[Dialga]] to turn into [[Primal Dialga]]. After the final battle against Darkrai, he attempts to escape in a time portal, when [[Palkia]], who is angered that Darkrai used him, shows up and destroys the time portal as Darkrai is halfway through it, he sustains a lot of damage he loses his memory and gets banished to an unknown place (which is ironic seeing how he was the reason that the hero lost his or her memory.) |

| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | *Darkrai is the only [[Generation IV]] legendary [[Pokémon]] able to learn [[Nightmare]]. |
||
| − | *Darkrai is the only {{Type|Dark}}-type legendary [[Pokémon]]. |
||
| − | *Darkrai is the only pure {{Type|Dark}}-type Pokémon of [[Generation IV]]. |
||
| − | *Darkrai is one of only nine pure {{Type|Dark}} types. The others are [[Umbreon]], [[Poochyena]], [[Mightyena]], [[Absol]], [[Liepard]], [[Purrloin]], [[Zorua]], and [[Zoroark]]. |
||
| − | *Despite having a ghost image, it is not part {{Type|Ghost}}-type which is rather odd. However, this isn't the only instance of strange classifications. |
||
| − | *Despite Darkrai looking like a male and has lots of male characteristics, its gender is unknown, even though its counterpart [[Cresselia]] is female. |
||
| − | *Darkrai is actually the counterpart of [[Cresselia]] as it produces nightmares whereas Cresselia cures them. It is a {{Type|Dark}}-Type in contrast to [[Cresselia]] who is {{Type|Psychic}}. Also, their islands are opposites of each other, and look like it can come together. |
||
| − | *Darkrai is based on a being of darkness. Each one in the anime so far (Except for The rise of Darkrai one) have incredibly dark natures and can almost be considered evil. However, Darkrai is truly not evil and actually means no harm (as revealed by a mysterious voice after defeating or capturing it on [[Newmoon Island]]), as like [[Lugia]], it cannot control its power. Any organic being that goes near it will suffer horrendous [[nightmare]]s, whether or not Darkrai wills it. Because of this, he chooses to seclude himself on [[Newmoon Island]], similar to how [[Lugia]] chose to seclude himself deep in the [[Whirl Islands]]/[[Navel Rock]], in order to [[protect]] people from its power. However, his power seems to leak into [[Canalave City]] due to its close proximity to it. |
||
| − | *Darkrai is the final boss in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia (although the Colossal [[Pokémon]] [[Regigigas]] is fought when all other Pokémon have been caught at least once, however this is not technically considered a final boss). |
||
| − | *Darkrai plays the main antagonist in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. After causing the heroes amnesia and transformation of the main hero, in the passage of time, it took control of [[Dialga]]. [[Dialga]] then only concerned itself with survival, hence the becoming of Primal Dialga. After being foiled, it attempted to trick the world into thinking the hero and partner were responsible for a spatial distortion, which is why [[Palkia]] attacked the Hero and his/her partner in [[Azurill]]'s Dream, nightmares and even tried to attack them in a monster-house style final boss. |
||
| − | **Even though he tried to take over the world and destroy time & space, when recruited, he will act very loyal and kind. |
||
| − | *Depsite being a legendary Pokémon, there's one in the Rise Of Darkrai and Tobias owns one. |
||
| − | *Darkrai's eyes are similar to the [[Dawn Stone]] as it mentions in the description "It sparkles like eyes." |
||
| − | *Darkrai can sprout feet, although this is considered to be a separate [[Alternate Forms|form]]. |
||
| − | *It somewhat resembles Dementors from the ''Harry Potter ''series. |
