Sprite of Darkrai from Pokémon GO Darkrai

Darkrai is a Tier 5 Raid boss. Being a pure Dark type, it is weak to the Bug, Fairy, and Fighting types. This iconic Mythical Pokémon is among the most sought-after Dark type attackers in PvE, thanks to its high DPS, making it a must-have in your team.

It can be shiny!

After beating the Raid, Darkrai is obtainable with the following CP values:

  • 2048 – 2136 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
  • 2560 – 2671 CP at Level 25 with Fog weather boost

It is decently bulky, but has an extremely high ATK stat. So, 3-4 high-level trainers, or in general, 5-6 trainers, would be able to beat it.
