* Darkrai uses its high Speed and Special Attack with its vast movepool to blast through a wide range of opposing Pokemon.
* Dark Pulse is Darkrai's most consistent move, beating Pokemon such as non-Assault Vest Metagross, Pecharunt, Cresselia, and non-specially defensive Iron Crown, with the added benefit of a flinch chance.
* Ice Beam lets Darkrai defeat Landorus-T, non-Choice Scarf Meowscarada, Garchomp, and Zapdos.
* Thunder is Darkrai's best option against Corviknight, Urshifu-R, Manaphy, and non-Assault Vest Volcanion.
* Focus Blast helps Darkrai against non-Choice Scarf Kyurem, Zarude, Roaring Moon, and non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z.
* Sludge Bomb assists versus non-specially defensive Ogerpon-W, Whimsicott, and non-Speed Booster Energy Iron Valiant.
* 4 Special Defense EVs give Darkrai slightly better odds against a Hyper Beam from Life Orb Spectrier.
* Darkrai struggles to break through specially bulky Steel-, Fairy-, and Dragon-types, like Hisuian Goodra, Regidrago, and Sylveon, even when it is using super effective moves. Pokemon that beat these, such as Landorus-T, Sneasler, and Corviknight, are robust partners.

* Darkrai uses high Speed + Special Attack with its wide movepool to blast through a wide range of opposing Pokemon.
* Dark Pulse is Darkrai's most consistent move, beating pokemon such as Metagross, Pecharunt, Cresselia and non-SpDef Iron Crowns, with the added benefit of a flinch chance.
* Ice Beam lets Darkrai defeat Landorus-T, non-Choice Scarf Meowscarada, Garchomp and Zapdos.
* Thunder is Darkrai's best option against Corviknight, Urshifu-R, Manaphy, Azumarill (too many mentions imo + u can also remove mana mention if u want) and Non-Assault Vest Volcanion.
* Focus Blast helps Darkrai against Registeel, Kyurem, Zarude, Roaring Moon and Non-Scarf Porygon-Z.
* Sludge Bomb assists versus Non-SpDef Ogerpon-Wellspring, Ninetales-Alola (u roll since they can disable t1 then prot moonblast prot moonblast), Whimsicott and Non-Speed Booster Iron Valiant.
(remove line break here)
* 4 Special Defence EVs allow Darkrai to always live a Hyper Beam from Life Orb Spectrier. (dont need this as its not even a bench bc its not bulked for max spa timid spect but if u want it in then u can say for spect odds or find a diff example)
* Darkrai struggles to break through adversaries with high Special Defence (Defense, we use american spelling)or an Assault Vest, even when using super-effective moves. Custap Berry as well can disrupt this frail fiend's gameplan. Strong physical attackers, such as Meowscarada, Iron Hands and Urshifu-R therefore are potent partners. (i dont like what u did here maybe mention like faries drago etc as threats then go from there)

ty bo_bobson anyway your chance to 2hko registeel is very small and even after rest you only have 8 focus so you really have to make them count, also if you miss even a single one registeel can amnesia again and the game is over unless you crit.), non-Choice Scarf Kyurem, Zarude, Roaring Moon and Non-Scarf Porygon-Z.
