Pokémon: Darkrai
Changes: Ability, Stats, Moves
Types: Dark
Abilities: Bad Dreams (Sleeping Pokémon lose 1/8th of their max HP at the end of each turn, but awaken from sleep twice as fast)
Stats: 75 / 100 / 90 / 125 / 105 / 105 (600 BST)
Movepool Changes: - Sludge Bomb, + Poison Jab, Dark Void (75% accuracy)
Description: With a more reasonable speed tier of 105, Darkrai is a fair bit easier to outspeed, and the change to Bad Dreams means it's much harder for it to abuse sleep even with the accuracy-buffed Dark Void. Though it can still use Spacial Rend to have perfect-accuracy sleep, giving all of its sleep targets Early Bird means that most will only sleep for a single turn, and some will even wake up instantly, effectively wasting a turn. Replacing Sludge Bomb with Poison Jab forces Darkrai to go mixed if it wants to hit Fairies, and while its lower Attack is made up for by most Fairies having lower Defense, Poison Jab doesn't benefit from Nasty Plot.
