== Message after encounter ==
I just captured Darkrai in my Platinum and this text appeared after the encounter:
...A voice called out from somewhere...
???: DARKRAI...
Your power is strong.
Though you don't will it, you make people and Pokémon around see terrible nightmares...
That is why you came here...
Newmoon Island...
There is no one but you here...
There is none that can be drawn into your nightmare...
If anyone were to fall into a nightmare, the Fullmoon Island is close by...
...
...
***
So if anyone thinks its important enough, feel free to add it either here or in the [[Newmoon Island]] article.. Although I'm not sure if this has already been added.--[[User talk:AOS|AOS]] 05:31, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

== Moveset...? ==
Is anyone going to add movesets for wild legendary Pokémon? I chose Darkrai's page because I'm currently fighting Darkrai and don't know how long it is until he uses Struggle. <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] ([[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Giratina's_Embodiment|contribs]])'' </small> 16:51, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
:Wild Pokémon know the four highest moves in their moveset at the time of encounter. We don't need to add anything new, because we're going with the theory that our readers can count to four. &mdash;'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 20:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
== Legs? ==
Does Darkrai have legs? In the artwork and the games he doesn't seem to, yet in some merchandise i have of him (from keychains and such) he has clear little... poiny leg things. Are these in any of the games, or is this some sort of fake toy? [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 20:51, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

== Darkrai's Type ==
The fact that Darkrai is a Dark-type makes perfect sense, but it has always surprised me that he isn't also a Ghost-type, given his rather ghost-like appearance and properties.  Why do you think it wasn't made to be a ghost-type?--[[User:Webspidrman|Webspidrman]] 22:43, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

* 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)
== Pictures? ==
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. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 05:30, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

::Youtube shouldn't be used for pictures. Quality is too low. Someone should have the DVD though.

== 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.
(I'm in Canada, BTW.)

== 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&current=darkraisplume_zpsf6d9fbcb.png Darkrai's plume] --[[User:HTSasha123|HT Sasha]] ([[User talk:HTSasha123|talk]]) 04:13, 24 September 2012 (UTC) HTSasha123

== 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?
