Is Darkrai evil?

Aug. 13, 2010

The Pokedex says it doesn’t mean harm. However, you have the completely evil one in Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time.

I’m sure it was just a plot point in the anime special to depict an Antagonist. xD

However, even in the main series right now, in the Sinnoh Championship, the guy with a Darkrai seems pretty evil, and the Darkrai itself doesn’t look too nice. :P

I think, while Darkrai is probably a well-natured Pokemon, its image depicts evil and mean to screenwriters.

PS: also, I read this fan comic on Deviantart calledPokemon Mystery Dungeon: Victory Flare.has a good story and it also explains Darkrai’s actions. you must binge read it!

The Dark type can be translated into Japanese as (あくタイプ) theEvil type. As for your concern with Darkrai, its appearance and abilities suggest it is based on the concept of nightmares. In the"Rise of Darkrai" film, it saved a child and stopped a feud between Dialga and Palkia. So, even though it looks evil, it technically isn’t.
