>>29739520Yes, but Alakazam actually has an ability! Mark my words, Darkrai WILL Be OU this gen. It's balancing factor is that it has a completely dead ability. Darkrai is basically now Greninja, that is better and worse in some ways. Greninja has a more versatile movepool, and its coverage moves are stronger thanks to Protean. Darkrai has a stronger nuke (135 SpA dark pulse > 108 SpA Hydro Pump, though not by a ton), is a bit faster and can hurt Chansey.
Here's your OU Darkrai moveset
Darkrai @ life orb
Naive / Timid
252 Speed / 252 Spa / 4 Attack or HP
- Dark Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Bomb
- Knock Off / Nasty Plot
Knock Off for Chansey, Nasty Plot otherwise to break through other walls. Here's why this is actually not overpowered.
>Can be revenge killedOU has some serious Mach Punch users, and plenty of choice scarf users or speed demons could easily threaten Darkrai. What's great is that dark is weak to bug, so revenge killers with U-turn take little risk in losing momentum by attempting to stop him.
>Lots of potential switch ins/walls/checksMega Mawile, Klefki, Conkeldurr, Diancie, Keldeo. Hell Sdef Mega Venusaur makes a good wall to the knock off set, and could easily stall it out. Of course you could drop Focus Blast, or Sludge Bomb for Psychic, but then you're leaving yourself completely walled by fairies, or at the mercy of Tyranitar/Bisharp, and nothing really gets around the Mawile/Diancie/Klefki problem.
Is it powerful? yes, but it has real switch ins, and it can be checked without much trouble.
