Darkrai Raid Counters Information

Darkrai is transferable however not tradable. Darkrai is a Darkish-type Legendary Pokémon that was launched in Era IV, being a counterpart to Cresselia within the Lunar Duo.

Our Darkrai counters are solely derived from simulations run on the GO Hub Simulator. Simulations are at all times run with degree 30 Pokémon towards a Tier 5 raid boss, averaging all movesets and simulating lag and rejoining.

Outcomes will range with totally different movesets (similar to Breloom receiving a desire towards Darkish Pulse transfer units, whereas Hariyama will probably be higher towards Focus Blast). Outcomes include some unreleased Pokémon.

Vital notice: Prioritize Gardevoir and Togekiss versus Focus Blast. Fairy sorts take decreased injury from Combating and so they carry out higher than Machamp and Hariyama.

As we'll go in-depth within the subsequent part (strikes breakdown), 60% of Darkrai's transfer pool consists of Darkish strikes, which implies that 60% of time Darkrai offers decreased injury to Combating and Fairy sorts.

Taking decreased injury converts into extra alternatives to activate cost strikes, and in flip, into extra injury. Therefore why Machamp, Togekiss and Hariyama rule the highest 3 spots. As soon as Conkledurr will get launched, it will likely be a tremendous Darkrai counter as properly, however for now that is the listing.

• If Darkrai has Darkish Pulse, it is best to prioritize Combating sorts. They take decreased injury and simply land cost strikes no matter dodging. So as to not waste Revives, watch out with squishy ones like Breloom.
• Versus Focus Blast it is best to at all times prioritize Gardevoir and Togekiss. Because of their twin typing, they take 2x decreased injury from Focus Blast. Gardevoir and Togekiss are greatest counters to Darkrai when it has Focus Blast.
