In Pokémon GO, Darkrai can now be found again in raids. This mysterious Pokémon is the perfect kick-off for the new raids from home.
These are the Remote Raids: For a few days now, you can do raids from home in Pokémon GO. For this, you need a Remote Raid Pass, which you can purchase in the in-game shop.
As of yesterday, April 28th at 10:00 PM German time, Darkrai can be encountered in level-5 raids. We’ll tell you whether the boss is worth it and why it’s ideal for the Remote Raids.
Darkrai in Remote Raids – What you need to know
Darkrai has been available for this long: This mysterious Pokémon will be available until May 5th at 10:00 PM German time. After that, the Altered Form of Giratina will come into the raids.
How worthwhile is Darkrai? This Pokémon is the best Dark-type attacker and should not be missing in any battle team. Additionally, it can also be encountered as a Shiny, making the raids even more worthwhile.
You should therefore try to do as many raids as possible so you can get the Shiny and Darkrai with good IVs.
That’s why it fits so well in Remote Raids: Darkrai is probably the best Pokémon to start with Remote Raids. Recently, legendary raids have become quite stagnant. The reason for this is the COVID-19 crisis, as gatherings are discouraged – particularly bad for legendary raids.
The interest in level-5 raids is therefore high, and now anyone can approach them calmly from home. With Darkrai, there is a boss that is particularly popular and worthwhile. You can invest your first Remote Raid Passes without worry and get a really strong Pokémon in return.
Moreover, Darkrai is actually only a level-5 raid boss and cannot be found at level 6. That was indeed the case last time with Darkrai raids. This means you don’t need too many players for Darkrai. 3 fairly good players are enough to defeat Darkrai. If it’s cloudy, you can even take it down in duo.
So ask your trainers in the neighborhood if you want to do some raids from home and secure your chance for a good Shiny. How Remote Raids work exactly and what you need to keep in mind, you can find out in our hub for Remote Raids.
