This is the very set which propelled Darkrai to fame, or rather notoriety, last generation. Darkrai's stellar base 125 Speed and Dark Void's decent accuracy make pulling off a sweep very easy. The basic game plan is to switch into a Pokemon slower than Darkrai, put it to sleep with a Dark Void, grab a Nasty Plot boost, and start sweeping. After a single Nasty Plot, Darkrai's Special Attack reaches a jaw dropping 738 and Dark Pulse will dent anything not resistant to it. Focus Blast hits the Dark- and Steel-types which resist Dark-type attacks, most notably Tyranitar, Heatran, Ferrothorn, and opposing Darkrai. To put Darkrai's insane power into perspective, even Eviolite Chansey is 2HKOed by Focus Blast after a Nasty Plot boost. Dark Pulse and Focus Blast have near-perfect coverage, resisted only by Heracross and Toxicroak. Substitute allows Darkrai to avoid crippling status, have a fighting chance against Sleep Talkers, and scout for its counters. The Dark-type has good type coverage in Ubers, so a mono-attacking set without Focus Blast is extremely viable , although Darkrai will easily be walled by Steel-type Pokemon and Blissey then.
This Darkrai set functions exceptionally well as a lead or late-game sweeper and the choice of item depends heavily on the position that Darkrai intends to fill in the team. Focus Sash can be used if Darkrai is being used as a lead, allowing it to stop most support leads with Dark Void and even 2HKO Prankster Taunt users such as Thundurus with STAB Dark Pulse. Focus Sash Darkrai can also pull off a mini-sweep early game when played right. Thanks to Bad Dreams, Darkrai does not have to worry about its opponent's Focus Sash. Leftovers is the preferred item with Substitute, as Life Orb recoil will drain Darkrai's health too quickly. But it must be kept in mind that, without Life Orb, Darkrai's damage output drops significantly.
Since the only way Darkrai can set up a Nasty Plot and sweep is by putting something to sleep, this set absolutely despises Sleep Talkers like Heracross and Kyogre; both can easily survive a boosted Dark Pulse and KO back with the appropriate STAB move. Giratina-O and Calm Mind Giratina thus make good partners for Darkrai since both can check and set up on the aforementioned threats. Giratina has the further advantage of checking Extreme Killer Arceus and Choice Scarf Terrakion, both of which threaten Darkrai with priority, or by virtue of greater Speed, as in Terrakion's case.
It is nearly impossible to beat Darkrai without sacrificing a Pokemon to sleep. But once Sleep Clause has been activated, Darkrai becomes infinitely less threatening. One of the best ways to take out Darkrai is letting it put something to sleep, and then switching to something faster to revenge kill it. Mewtwo, Shaymin-S, and Choice Scarf users such as Palkia, Kyogre, Dialga, Terrakion, Reshiram, and Zekrom are all great choices to revenge kill Darkrai. It also hates powerful users of priority attacks like Extreme Killer Arceus and Scizor. If one prefers a more defensive approach, then Ho-Oh can survive a boosted Dark Pulse and OHKO with Brave Bird. Fighting Arceus can do the same with Judgment. If Darkrai lacks Focus Blast, then almost all Steel-types can wall Darkrai pretty easily.
Wobbuffet makes a good partner to Darkrai as it can give Darkrai the opportunity to set up, while revenge killing Choice Scarf users easily thanks to Shadow Tag. Grass Arceus and Palkia are both good checks to Kyogre since they can switch in on a Surf or Water Spout and threaten Kyogre with their super effective attacks. Quagsire also fears nothing from Kyogre, and can use a combination of Encore and Toxic to wear it down. Zekrom can check Kyogre as well as Ho-Oh as neither of them would dare take a STAB Bolt Strike. Stealth Rock is possibly the best way to beat Ho-Oh and defensive Kyogre also does a good job in checking Ho-Oh. In general, entry hazard support is very much recommended since it aids Darkrai in its sweep. Forretress and Deoxys-S make good partners as they can both set up entry hazards quite reliably. Magnezone and Groudon can be used to check Steel-types if Darkrai lacks Focus Blast. Mewtwo also makes a good teammate as it can decimate Fighting Arceus with Psystrike.Nome Moveset Strumento Abilitŕ Natura Choice Scarf Stolascelta Sogniamari Timida Mosse Evs ~ Raggiro

This set aims to take care of Darkrai's chronic problems with faster revenge killers. This set works best as a lead since every non-Scarfed Pokemon is outsped and crippled by a combination of Trick and Dark Void. Darkrai can then proceed to set up with Nasty Plot and start a sweep. Coming off a monstrous base 135 Special Attack, STAB Dark Pulse has great coverage, and packs a real punch even when resisted. Darkrai can also come in later in the game to pose a threat to the opponent's team.
It must be noted that although Trick can completely ruin one of your opponent's Pokemon, it must be used very carefully. Using Trick carelessly on a Pokemon which is immune to it (such as Arceus) or on an opposing Choice user will only warn the opponent. In order to avoid such situations, one must try to refrain from using Trick on a Pokemon which is often used with a Choice item, until and unless it can be confirmed that the particular Pokemon is holding some other item.
Similar to Nasty Plot Darkrai, Choice Scarf Darkrai works well as a lead or a late-game sweeper. With a Choice Scarf, Darkrai outspeeds the omnipresent Deoxys-S and Deoxys-A leads in Ubers. Darkrai can then put them to sleep with Dark Void, or cripple them with Trick so that they get locked into one attack. Darkrai can also attack them directly with a STAB Dark Pulse. Finally, Choice Scarf Darkrai is especially useful in taking down fast sweepers like Rock Polish Groudon (Adamant variants only), or other Choice Scarf users like Palkia and Zekrom.
Focus Blast can be used to take out Steel-types such as Dialga, Heatran, and Tyranitar while Ice Beam helps Darkrai maul the ubiquitous Dragon-types in Ubers, and also has good coverage with Dark Pulse. Spacial Rend can be used as it has slightly more power than Ice Beam and a nifty critical hit rate. It also has the added advantage of hitting Palkia super effectively, which is especially important, since Palkia is a very common Choice Scarf user.
Even though Scarf Darkrai itself makes a fantastic anti-lead, it still has problems with certain leads. Leads that are capable of OHKOing Darkrai, and hold a Lum Berry, are this set's biggest fears. Dialga, Kyogre, and Scizor are prime examples. Choice Scarf Shaymin-S can outspeed Darkrai, and 2HKO it with Air Slash. Extreme Killer Arceus and Scizor can threaten Darkrai with their powerful priority moves. Scizor even sports a resistance to Dark Pulse. Jolly Rock Polish Groudon can still outspeed Darkrai and OHKO it with STAB Earthquake. Scarf Mewtwo can outspeed and smack Darkrai with Aura Sphere, KOing it.
Shaymin-S and Scizor can easily be beaten by Dialga, Reshiram, or Ho-Oh. All of them have access to Fire-type moves and are resistant to Shaymin-S's or Scizor's STAB attacks. Dialga and Reshiram have to be wary of a Life Orb Earth Power from Shaymin-S, however, as it will severely damage both. Quagsire can easily switch into lead Kyogre and use the turn to do whatever it pleases. Palkia and Grass Arceus will dislike Thunder Wave, but are otherwise great switch-ins as well, and can dent Kyogre with Thunder or Grass Knot. Groudon can easily take on Terrakion and Tyranitar and also makes a great check to Dialga. It can even set up Stealth Rock to facilitate a sweep. Mewtwo can annihilate Fighting Arceus with Psystrike. Wobbuffet can help create an opening for Darkrai, thanks to Shadow Tag, Encore, and Tickle, and thus help it sweep. Last but not least, entry hazards help Darkrai greatly as they soften up potential checks to Darkrai and discourage the opponent from switching frequently.Altre Opzioni
Darkrai can also run a physical Swords Dance set comprising of Sucker Punch, Brick Break, and Dark Void. This set is backed by its immense surprise factor and STAB priority in the form of Sucker Punch. However, once Darkrai's set is revealed, it is easily walled due to its meager base 90 Attack. Thunder allows Darkrai to destroy Ho-Oh and Kyogre, but has little use outside of that. Ice Beam is usable on the Scarf set to revenge kill Dragon Dance Rayquaza, Salamence, and Choice Scarf Garchomp. Ice Beam also does sizable damage to Zekrom, Groudon, and Ground Arceus. Psychic is Darkrai's most powerful attack against Fighting Arceus and Heracross, but has little use otherwise. Taunt can be used to prevent sleep absorbers from using Sleep Talk, thus rendering them incapable of countering Darkrai.Controlli e Counters
Darkrai is extremely difficult to counter directly, but there are certain ways by which it can be taken down. The best method to handle Darkrai is to let something absorb Dark Void, and then send in something that can OHKO it, something that is also faster or capable of surviving a boosted hit. Sleep Talkers such as Kyogre and Heracross can absorb Dark Void, and do all of the above. Kyogre can take a +2 Dark Pulse, and does 92.2% - 108.9% with Surf, meaning that Darkrai will always be KOed factoring in Life Orb recoil. Heracross resists both Dark Pulse and Focus Blast, and can hit Darkrai super effectively with either of its STAB moves. Heracross has the added benefit of Guts which powers up its moves when it is inflicted with a status. Fighting Arceus and Ho-Oh can switch in on anything except Dark Void, and OHKO Darkrai with Judgment or Brave Bird, respectively. Once Sleep Clause has been activated, strong Choice Scarf users such as Palkia, Garchomp, Dialga Kyogre, Reshiram, and Zekrom can revenge kill Darkrai with ease. Scizor can OHKO Darkrai with U-turn, and survive most of its attacks. However, a +2 Life Orb-boosted Focus Blast will OHKO Scizor. Scarf Terrakion can switch in on a Dark Pulse, grab a free potential Attack boost thanks to Justified, and can threaten an OHKO with its STAB Close Combat and superior Speed.
