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.

Darkrai putting Little Mac to sleep.

Darkrai appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. 4. When summoned, it uses its signature move Dark Void, throwing a dark orb that pulls 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. Opponents affected are unable to act apart from move left and right until they touch the ground; this can cause a KO if they happen to fall offstage.

In Smash Tour[edit]

Darkrai's trophy is a red item in Smash Tour: when used, it makes a selected opponent start the battle asleep.

Trophy[edit]

Darkrai's trophy appears in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of the Legend of Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl Trophy Box.
