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 top Dark type attackers in PvE, thanks to its high DPS, making it a must-have in your team.
Obtainable CP Values
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.
