Darkrai lurks in its foes' nightmares and strikes fear into their hearts with its Nasty Plot set! Boasting an astounding Special Attack stat, a wonderful Speed tier, and access to Psychic, Darkrai removes fast Fighting-types like Iron Valiant and Sneasler as well as bulkier Poison-type walls such as Galarian Weezing and Toxapex. Substitute keeps Darkrai safe from status moves used by the likes of Amoonguss and Glimmora while also easing Nasty Plot setup, taking advantage of passive walls such as Toxapex and Froslass. Alternatively, Focus Blast may be used to break through Heatran and Hisuian Goodra as well as help in the Dark mirror matchup by hitting Ting-Lu and Kingambit. Kingambit heavily appreciates Darkrai removing the aforementioned Fighting-types and in return threatens Fairy-types like Alolan Ninetales and Flutter Mane. Sableye and Choice Scarf Meowscarada threaten faster Fighting-types such as Zamazenta and Choice Scarf Great Tusk due to their Ghost typing and access to Play Rough, respectively.
