Data miners have found initial hints of Darkrai as the next EX Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. We tell you how likely this is and whether Darkrai is worth it at all.
What have data miners found? It has been added to the game files that you can now send Darkrai when it is in the game.
This allows for some conclusions to be drawn, so it may well come to EX Raids soon.
Darkrai as the next EX Raid Boss? Here’s why
What do the findings mean? Darkrai is a mysterious Pokémon. These monsters can usually be caught in Pokémon GO in two ways: in EX Raids or in special research.
Mysterious Pokémon from special research have never been able to be sent before. Deoxys from EX Raids, however, has. So it would make sense for Darkrai to also come to the special raids.
Would Darkrai fit in there? Bringing the mysterious Pokémon as an EX Raid would definitely make sense. It is incredibly strong in the game, which would be unfortunate if you only had the chance to get the Pokémon in a special research.
Multiple EX Raids would make more sense. That way, you can increase your chances of getting one or even several good Darkrai.
Furthermore, it is known that Mewtwo will only remain in EX Raids until November 12. After that, Niantic will need a replacement, and a mysterious Pokémon from Generation 4 would fit perfectly. After all, this generation needs to be completed soon as Gen 5 is now in the game.
Would Darkrai Raids be worth it?
How strong will Darkrai be? The mysterious Pokémon would be a real weapon and a good addition to your Dark team. Here are its stats:
- Attack Value: 285
- Defense Value: 198
- HP Value: 172
- Max CP: 3739
Its attack value is the highest among all Dark-type Pokémon. It thus deals the most damage per second among Dark attackers and becomes the best Pokémon of the type. It would definitely be worth it if Darkrai can be found in EX Raids.
