Are your Pokémon not in yet? In our counter guide, we show you more strong attackers and the weaknesses of the raid boss:
How many trainers? With trainers and Pokémon at maximum level and top attackers, you can defeat Darkrai in groups of three.
Trainers who have not yet reached the maximum level, but are at least level 30, should team up in larger groups of 5-6 players. Are you looking for more players? This is how you find new, worldwide friends in Pokémon GO for remote raids.
This way, you can quickly complete the raids and participate in even more battles during the event.
Is there a Shiny version of Darkrai? Yes, if you are lucky, you can catch the shiny version of Darkrai.
What does the next Raid Hour bring? The next Raid Hour in Pokémon GO takes place on November 3rd. You will encounter Darkrai in raids again. Later in the month, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion along with Cresselia will follow.
The variety in raids is interesting and brings you strong Pokémon for your collection. So you don’t miss any important appointments, we have an overview for you on MeinMMO: All events in November 2021 at Pokémon GO and which ones are worth it.
