Added a note on how Darkrai seems to want to meet the player. Felt it worth mentioning, as it does say somehting about Darkrai's intelligence.-[[User:Featherflame|Featherflame]] 8/9/07

I added that the [[Lunar Wing]] is said in D/P to be the only thing that can wake people up from Darkrai's nightmares. Something vaguely similar to this is stated in the Lunar Wing article, so it's up to your judgment whether to leave it or not. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 16:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'm close to coming down hard on whoever put that thing about Satan in there.  If somebody thinks Darkrai is a Satanic Pokémon, they can keep it to themselves.  It's fan-made CRAP and it has no place on Bulbapedia.  That is the only evidence to support it is probably coincidental.  Going by this thinking, any Pokémon that can learn [[Pursuit]] is "Satanic," and {{p|Politoed}} can learn [[Pursuit]]!  Jeez, people!  Keep it on the forum!  -[[User:Politoed666|Politoed666]] 00:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I can understand people mistaking Giratina as a "Devil" becuase of the "666" crap, but Darkrai? That's taking it too far. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 17:57, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
:Actually 666 is the human number of imperfection, but I don't see where it relates to Darkrai or Giratina.

:::Please, don't argue with me on this. I realize that you don't read the bible... The number 666 is the human number of imperfection (Revelation 13:16-18) and the number of the beast, as 7 is the perfect number of The Lord a triple 6 is imperfection of the human and the beast.

I edited the trivia to reflect what the UK Darkrai Event was.

Isn't there a TCG card for the event Darkrai? I saw one at Wal-Mart. It was holding Enigma Berry, and it knew Dialga and Palkia's moves.[[User:Kkllnn|Kkllnn]] 14:32, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

== Pronounciation ==
 
If you don't know spanish, then you'll not get what I want to say.
In Japanese, the name is read (written in spanish pronounciation) <sc>Daakuráy</sc>, so the name will be correctly pronounced "<sc>Dark-rráy</sc>". But the english pronounciation is "<sc>Dárk-rrey</sc>", which is not correct. I don't know how to write down a well pronounced "Darkrai" in english.

== Wait... ==
* 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. [[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.

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&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?

== " 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


== PBR ==
-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. )


Why won't PBR let me use the event Darkrai on Wi-Fi? --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<font color="black"><small>S</small><sup>h</sup><small>i</small><sub>n</sub><small>y</small> <sup>N</sup><small>o</small><sub>c</sub><small>t</small><sup>o</sup><small>w</small><sub>l</sub></font>]] 19:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

•nocnitsa is commonly depicted as having grey hair, while darkrai has a white plume of ghostly fog that resembles hair emanating from its head
::Mabye caus eit's an event or just an error on Wi-Fi on PBR--[[User:CoolPikachu!|CoolPikachu!]] 02:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
•nocnitsa is commonly depicted as levitating and having no legs, while darkrai is mostly seen floating with its legs retracted
:::The event Manaphy works just fine. It can't be an error, because, rather than saying "You've been disconnected from the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.", it said "Warning! This pass contains an invalid Pokémon!" (or something like that; I can't remember the exact words). --[[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<font color="black"><small>S</small><sup>h</sup><small>i</small><sub>n</sub><small>y</small> <sup>N</sup><small>o</small><sub>c</sub><small>t</small><sup>o</sup><small>w</small><sub>l</sub></font>]] 02:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
•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.
