How to Get Darkrai in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Pokemon Legends Arceus features a huge number of Pokemon to get, but those who have played Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl will be able to make this number even bigger, as they will be able to access a special request where it is possible to confront and catch Darkrai.

Here’s how to unlock this special request and how to get Darkrai.

How to Get Darkrai in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Darkrai is available in Pokemon Legends Arceus only if a Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl save file is found on the console. Without the save file, there is no way to unlock the request.

If you have this save file, all you need to do to unlock Request 93: The Darksome Nightmare is complete Mission 19 and check the board in Professor Laventon’s office in the Galaxy Team Building in Jubilife Village. Once this is done, a marker will appear on your map between Clamber Claw Cliffs and Lonely Springs, and this is the location where Darkrai will appear in.

To catch Darkrai, you will first have to stun the Mythical Pokemon, so prepare for an intense fight. At first, Darkrai will attack you with paralyzing shockwaves that can be dodged by rolling properly. After breaking the Mythical Pokemon shield with a Poke Ball or any other item, Darkrai will start teleporting through rings on the ground. At this point, you can throw your Pokeball at Darkrai to start the fight proper, reduce its health and use an Ultra Ball to catch it.
