Darkrai
Darkrai (ダークライ, Dākurai) is a legendary Pokémon introduced in the 4th generation of the franchise.
Creature description
Darkrai is a moderately-sized legendary ghostly entity appearing to represent pure darkness. The top of its body is connected to the lower half by a tiny waist, giving it a figure shaped like an hourglass. A white substance flows from its head as its "hair", obscuring much of its facial features. Its club-shaped arms are clawed and look muscular, with parts of them appearing tattered.
Darkrai is stated by the Pokédex to be active during nights of the new moon, during which it can lull people to sleep and make them dream horrific nightmares. It does this as a protective measure, however, and means no harm or malicious intent in the long run. In Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, Darkrai resides on Newmoon Island, and can only be legally reached and captured by a player with assistance from a Nintendo event.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Darkrai appears as a regular trophy in Brawl.
