Darkrai is a Dark-type Mythical Pokémon available in 5-star Raids.
It is trio-able by high-level Trainers with teams consisting of top Fighting-type counters such as Conkeldurr, Lucario, Machamp, Mega Beedrill, & Hariyama. For lower-level Trainers, or Trainers lacking the proper counters, we recommend Raiding in larger parties (4-20), to take the Pitch-Black Pokémon.
