The Dark Pokémon is available for only a few days on raids, which we can now perform from home with remote raid passes.
Pokémon GO wants to go back, too, little by little, to that new normality that is talked about so much after the coronavirus crisis. The iOS and Android video game, practically already fully adapted to the game from home, inaugurated this week the possibility of playing raids from home thanks to remote raid passes. What better way to put it to the test than with the return of Darkrai, who is temporarily back in the five-star raids.
Everything you need to know about Darkrai: available until May 5
You know that we like to start with the dates, with the calendar. According to Niantic, Darkrai returns to raids from Tuesday, April 28, 2020 at 10:00 p.m. to Tuesday, May 5, 2020 at 10:00 p.m. CEST (1:00 p.m. PDT, GMT −7); only in the five-star ones. It is a creature already known to all Pokémon GO players.
Introduced into the Sinnoh region as a singular Pokémon, the Dark Pokémon is the emblem of terror in the universe of pocket creatures. In Pokémon GO, at level 50 you can count on a CP of 53,600 and some really interesting statistics: 237 ATK, 168 DEF and 15,000 PS. The figure that many will want to know is that of his rank in the capture process, which ranges between 2048 and 2136 CP.
We are not facing a particularly difficult incursion, but as always everything depends on the moveset we find. For example, we can find a Darkrai with Howling and Shadow Ball or Feint and Shadow Ball; even with Umbrella Pulse or Accurate Wave.
Best opponents to face Darkrai in Pokémon GO
Now, let's get to know the best opponents to fight Darkrai in Pokémon GO. It should be said that the selection is governed by our preferences, always trying to prioritize the ease of access to these creatures, but the Pokédex has hundreds of species; many of them equally valid to which we are going to recommend. The fundamental thing to keep in mind is that Darkrai is a Pokémon with a weakness to movements such as Fight, Bug and Fairy. That said, this is our pick:
-
Conkeldurr with Counterattack and Dynamic Fist
-
Machamp with Counterattack and Dynamic Fist
-
Charming Togekiss and Magical Glitter
-
Scyther with Cortefuria and Scissors X
-
Pinsir with Sting and Scissors X
-
Lucario with Counterattack and Aural Sphere
-
Hariyama with Counterattack and Dynamic Fist
-
Toxicroak with Counterattack and Dynamic Fist
