Read more ↓Darkrai is a Pitch-Black Pokémon, an enigmatic Dark-type mythical creature introduced in Generation IV. It is not known to evolve from or into any other Pokémon. Darkrai is famously associated with nightmares, often appearing to people in their sleep to induce terrifying dreams, though it does so inadvertently as a defense mechanism or due to its very presence. It inhabits a realm known as the Dark Dimension and is often depicted as a benevolent figure despite its unsettling abilities, sometimes even helping people in distress. Its sleek, shadowy appearance, with a white, wispy "collar" and a single red claw on its chest, makes it instantly recognizable. Darkrai has played a significant role in the Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum games, as well as in the anime, particularly in the movie *The Rise of Darkrai*, where it was a central character. Its unique design and intriguing lore contribute to its enduring popularity among fans.
