Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Darkrai

To get Shiny Darkrai, players will need to get their hands on a Darkrai first. Darkrai is a part of 5-star raids, so it shouldn't take players long to find one, but catching a shiny one can be quite tricky. Since this is a Legendary Pokemon, the standard odds of 1 in 20 apply to it. This doesn't really mean that every 20th Darkrai player encounter will be a shiny one, but instead, every time they encounter a Darkrai, it will have a 1 out of 20 odds of it being shiny. While it might sound like a bit too much, players usually get a shiny one in around 30 to 40 encounters, so the trick is to take part in as many battles as possible.

Best Moveset For Darkrai

Darkrai can learn a variety of moves, so choosing the right one can be quite tricky. Here are all the moves that can be learned by Dakrai, which consist of two fast moves, and four charged moves.
