:No offense, but I removed it. Not every Darkrai will have a Classic Ribbon, just like how not every Darkrai will have a normal ribbon like a Cool Contest Ribbon.

* By the way, Dark/Ghost has no weaknesses, and Darkrai is still uber even with only one type. If it was Dark/Ghost, it would be banned from Ubers as well. [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] 16:16, 3 September 2010 (UTC) | |||

Are there any pictures of Darkrai's "feet"? That needs to be in the article. Not neccesarily as the infobox picture, but somewhere in the article.

:It wouldn't be too hard to get; I'm sure somebody probably has the DVD. If not, it should be on YouTube. [[User:MrConcreteDonkey|MrConcreteDonkey]] 06:38, 17 May 2010 (UTC) | |||
::Youtube shouldn't be used for pictures. Quality is too low. Someone should have the DVD though. But since it's a picture from the anime it would need to go in the anime section or on [[Darkrai (M10)|this page]]. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</sc> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 07:44, 17 May 2010 (UTC) | |||

Was it confirmed that Ash was fighting Takuto? In that case the Paul vs. Ash fight was spoiled :O --[[User:Burgundy|Burgundy]] 07:21, 29 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
No it wasn't it just said that darkrai will appear I deleted the part about ash battling it in dp189.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 21:11, 30 July 2010 (UTC) | |||

== Add something to the Manga section == | |||
Pokemon Adventures. Sird. She has a Darkrai, which, upon its clash with Mewtwo, petrified the Kanto Dex Holders and Silver. Should this be noted?... [[User:Pikachu127|Pikachu127]] 22:20, 14 April 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Mystery Gift == | |||
Hey, I was playing either Pearl or Platinum a long time age at McDonald's and checked Mystery Gift and got a Darkrai with Nickname "?????". The Original Trainer is also "?????", and is colored red. ID number is 07147. It's in a Cherish Ball and knows Roar of Time and Spacial Rend, and a couple of HM moves I taught it. Anyone know where this Darkrai came from? | |||
Mystery Gift indeed. | |||

== Pics? == | |||
Hey guys, umm as you can tell I'm kind of a new user on here and I was wondering if anybody here will be kind enough to add the picture of Darkrai's retracted head and white "plume" when it's defending itself? Here's a picture of it that I have recently posted on my 5 years-old photobucket account ---> [http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm39/artsygal12/?action=view¤t=darkraisplume_zpsf6d9fbcb.png Darkrai's plume] --[[User:HTSasha123|HT Sasha]] ([[User talk:HTSasha123|talk]]) 04:13, 24 September 2012 (UTC) HTSasha123 | |||
:All images on Bulbapedia are uploaded and managed over on the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page Bulbagarden Archives]. Once you upload the file over there, you will be able to insert the image on the articles here. Make sure you upload your images in .png format, as that is the type of files used for anime images. Hope this helps you out.

== DarkRai Name Origin and Character Design == | |||
"rai" pronounced ''rye'' is hindi for king. From wikipedia : "Rai is a historical title of honour in India[...]It is derived from Raja (king, prince or chief)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_(Indian) | |||
Hence, this plays into the character background and design. First, the character has a design of a Medieval Count. Second, the character has a mystical, other worldly, spiritual yet fantastical quality to it that can be seen in Indian stories. | |||
Also, to an above post, the "Rey" in spanish might have the same etymological roots as "Rai".[[User:ZoroFan|ZoroFan]] ([[User talk:ZoroFan|talk]]) 03:07, 15 February 2013 | |||
Also, Darkrai might be based on the Cthulhian stories of other-dimensional beings that would cause onlookers to spiral into deep madness. Given that the generation Darkrai was released in dealt with other dimensional Pokemon, just like itself, it seems likely that the Darkrai aspect of causing debilitating nightmares was likely a shout-out to the Lovecraftian legacy.[[User:ZoroFan|ZoroFan]] ([[User talk:ZoroFan|talk]]) 03:18, 15 February 2013 (UTC) | |||
== Added origin == | |||
I was browsing through wikipedia about Morpheus and I discovered that there were other dream deities, Like Phobetor the God of Nightmare | |||
here's the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phobetor | |||
so would it be ok to put this in the origin section of the trivia? | |||

== " It can also go around objects it is attracted to several times" == | |||
What does that mean? It says " It can also go around objects it is attracted to several times". Anything can go around objects several times. Can we please elaborate this? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 17:10, 30 October 2017 (UTC) | |||
==possible inspiration== | |||
I haven’t seen this talked about before, but I think that darkrai May be inspired by the nocnitsa of Slavic folklore. Here are some similarities I noticed: | |||
-both can cause nightmares | |||
-both can be warded off by having a certain object nearby while you are asleep (noctitsa can be warded off with a stone ring, while darkrai is warded off with the lunar wing. ) | |||
-they have some visual similarities | |||
•nocnitsa is commonly depicted as having grey hair, while darkrai has a white plume of ghostly fog that resembles hair emanating from its head | |||
•nocnitsa is commonly depicted as levitating and having no legs, while darkrai is mostly seen floating with its legs retracted | |||
•nocnitsa is commonly portrayed as wearing a tattered dress, whilst darkrais body slightly resembles a dress, with the spiky part at the bottom of its torso resembling a ripped cloak or gown. | |||
