Pokemon Go Darkrai Raid counters and everything you need to know
The best Pokem🤡on to use against Darkrai in Pokemon Go Rai🐲ds

These Pokemon Go Darkrai counters will help you defeat the Lege🍸ndary Pokemon in raids. Darkrai comes from the Sinnoh region, and is retuꦡrning to Raids in Pokemon Go for a limited time where trainers will be able to catch this powerful ‘mon.
From Friday, October 22 at 10 a.m. to Friday, November 5 at 10 a.m. local time, Darkrai will be appearing in Lev🌠el 5 Raids. And while trainers will want to catch this Legendary Pokemon to add to their collection, not to mention having a chance to encounter a 🃏Shiny Darkrai, all Darkrai will also have an exclusive move.
Any Darkrai battled and caught during this two-week 🐻period will know the move Sludge Bomb, which will make it harder to battle but also give it a great attack to use in once it's yours. We’ll get into that in more detail down below, but read on for everything you need to know about how to defeat Darkrai in Pokemon Go Raids.
Pokemon Go Darkrai Counters
Darkrai is a pure Dark-type Pokemon and is weak to Bug, Fighting and Fai༺ry-type attacks similar to others like Mega Absol.
Similar to the counters for Mega Absol, Mega Beedrill is the premier Mega Pokemon to use against Darkrai. Having access to Bug Bit and X-Scissor, both Bug-type attac🐻ks, will dwindle Darkrai’s health in no time. Mega Beedrill will also boost the power of every Bug-type move used on every trainers’ team.
Heracross will ben🍷efit from this boost and has access to both Fighting and Bug-type moves. Counter is the best Fighting-type Fast attack to use against Darkrai. It also has access to Megahorn, one of the m🎃ost powerful Bug-type Charged attacks in Pokemon Go.
To round out your team against Darkrai, use Fighting and Fairy-type ൲Pokemon that know Counter or Charm as their Fast moves. Hariyama, Conkeldurr, Lucario and Machamp are the best Fighting-type options. Togekiss and Granbull are the best Fairy-type Pokemon to bring into battle. However, as we alluded to above the addition of Sludge Bomb to Darkrai’s arsenal could make i❀t risky to bring too many Fairy types into battle.
Here is a list of counters to 💯go against Darkrai in Pokemon Go.
Pokemon | Moveset |
---|---|
Mega Beedrill | Bug Bite and X-Scissor |
Hariyama | Counter and Dynamic Punch |
Conkeldurr | Counter and Dynamic Punch |
Lucario | Counter and Aura Sphere |
Machamp | Counter and Dynamic Punch |
Togekiss | Charm and Dazzling Gleam |
Granbull | Charm and Rough Play |
SirFetchd | Counter and Close Combat |
Heracross | Counter and Megahorn |
Breloom | Counter and Dynamic Punch |
Pokemon Go Darkrai Moveset
Darkrai has access to two different Fast attacks, but 🌞thankfully for Pokemon ꦓGo trainers they are both Dark-type moves. Snarl and Feint Attack will do minimal damage to Fighting and Fairy-type Pokemon so bringing them in won’t be too bad. It’s with Darkrai’s Charged attacks that trainers will have to strategize more.
Dark Pulse is the only Dark-type Charged attack that Darkrai uses so if it has it you’ll be ok using Fighting and Fairy types. Fairy types will also resist Darkrai’s Focus Blast attack, which is a Fighting-t🍌ype move. Shadow Ball is a Ghost-type attack that really only affects trainers who want to use Gardevoir in 𝓀this battle. Gardevoir, while resisting Darkrai’s Focus Blast is weak to Shadow Ball.
However, Sludge Bomb will do massive damage to any Fairy-type trainers bring into battle. Use the suggested team feature when first entering a Raid to scout what moves Darkrai could bring into battle. If the suggested team doesn’t🌳 have any Fairy types, there is a good chance that Darkrai is bringing Sludge Bomb into the battle. Use this to your advantage and you’ll be ok.
Here is every Fast and Charged attack Darkrai can have in Pokꦫemon Go Raids.
Fast Attack | Charged Attack |
---|---|
Snarl | Shadow Ball |
Feint Attack | Focus Blast |
Row 2 - Cell 0 | Dark Pulse |
Row 3 - Cell 0 | Sludge Bomb |
