'''Darkrai''' ({{ja|ダークライ|Dākurai}}, ''Darkrai'') is a fictional creature from the {{Uv|Pokémon}} franchise.

===Trophy information===

:''A Pitch-Black Pokémon. It becomes active on nights of the new moon. This legendary Pokémon has the power to lull people to sleep and fill their heads with dreams. Proverbs say that Darkrai will make people have terrifying dreams on moonless nights. A Dark-type Pokémon, Darkrai uses the Dark Void move, along with Embargo, which stops foes from using held items.''

Darkrai appears as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. When summoned, it uses its signature move [[bulbapedia:Dark Void (move)|Dark Void]], throwing a dark orb that [[pull]]s opponents in, puts them to [[sleep]] and inflicts continuous damage. This orb lasts for a decent amount of time, able to put those trapped to sleep twice if they are at low percentages. The move does 35% total if the opponent is trapped from the beginning of Darkrai's attack.  

Unlike most sleep-inducing attacks, Dark Void is effective against airborne foes, causing them to float helplessly in the middle of the vortex. Once the attack ends, they will fall to the ground and go to sleep. However, if the opponent is in the upper blast line, opponent will be [[KO]]'d instead.

===Trophy information===

Darkrai's trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Legend of Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl'' [[Trophy Box]].

:{{Flag|ntsc}} ''This Dark-type Pokémon can cause people and other Pokémon to experience nightmares. While it is floating in the air, it tucks its legs in so far, it looks like they vanish! In battle it will use a move called Dark Void, which sucks in surrounding opponents and puts them into a deep sleep.''

:{{Flag|pal}} ''A Pokémon shrouded in mystery, Darkrai has the ability to implant nightmares into the minds of both humans and Pokémon. It has legs, but seems to prefer to float in the air. Its favourite move in this game is Dark Void. When this attack hits something, it creates a vortex that sucks in fighters and puts them to sleep.''

{{clear}}

Darkrai is set to reappear as a Poké Ball Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.  Its behavior appears to be unchanged from ''Smash 4''.
