This is the Darkrai set I use and will use unless given a set that is better! Overall Darkrai provides invaluable momentum and can often take down two or three pokemon! Magic Bouncers really put a lot of pressure on Darkrai so when you predict a switch to Espeon or Xatu use Dark Pulse. This is a suicide lead and will more often than not be deadweight late-game, unless you are sure that it will be helpful just sac it.
Guide to using this Darkrai against the most common leads.
But First do NOT use Thunder Wave or Dark Void if your opponent has Espeon or Xatu, use Dark Pulse instead. Use common sense :L

Almost all successful teams in Ubers need a weather-changer, and since Latias can wall Kyogre all the more easily under sun I chose Groudon for this role! Groudon is an excellent answer to Ho-Oh as Ho-Oh normally is T-Waved by Darkrai so Groudon is faster and can either OHKO with Stone Edge, Set Stealth Rocks up to really hampen anything Ho-Oh can do. (as it will probably switch out) It also counters Extremekiller Arceus by Thunder Waving then either EQ'ing until Arceus kills Groudon then Switch Arceus-Ghost in to Finish, or Arceus is killed

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

- Hidden Power [Fire]

The EVs are probably the most advanced on the team, a timid nature and 196 EVs gives it 334 speed just enough to outspeed Jolly unscarfed Garchomp Max HP is for the best Durability, and 60 Sdef is to make it easier to set up on several key threats such as Kyogre, Palkia, Dialga, Reshiram, and White Kyurem! Latias prefers sun as the easiest pokemon for it to set up on is Kyogre, sun makes this even easier to pull off.

Genesect @ Expert Belt

EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Rock Polish
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Bug Buzz
Behold the great insect banished from OU causing great heartache to his enemies! Genesect is one of the many set-up sweepers on my team and it is probably the most potent offensive threat in the game when it is +1/+2
I've made so many late game comebacks with this thing at +1 Special attack it can OHKO a Giratina-O from the courtesy of Groudon, Gain a +1 Satk boost, use rock polish then if the Giratina has any previous damage OHKO the Giratina and proceed to sweep several team members most of the time. It can also sometimes scare a Groudon out and do the same thing.

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Dragon Pulse
- Thunderbolt
- Fire Blast
My revenge killer, normally revenging other dragon types Zekrom, Reshiram, Palkia, Either Giratina form, and White Kyurem are the easiest pokemon to revenge. its Steel/Dragon typing gives it ease when taking down basicly any dragon! Aura Sphere allows it to take Arceus down as its Steel typing resists Extremespeed. Thunderbolt is mostly just for Kyogre, Lugia, and Ho-Oh. Fire Blast seriously hurts in sun also.

Although it has a few advantages over Latias, having 38 more Speed, better HP and immunity to Extremespeed Arceus-Ghost will always be the inferior of the two in my eyes. It has trouble setting up on Kyogre and Palkia
It can however completely counter Ditto and check Ekiller Arceus. It can normally survive a powerful physical attack before going down also
Threat List
#1 Chansey
Walls most of my team nuff said
#2 Arceus-Ghost/Lugia
Arceus and Lugia tie for next spot because they are both infuriating to take down once they get behind a sub/set up
 
Hi, this is a nice team you have here. I would like to make a few minor changes, however.

1) I would advise you to run a bit of speed creep on Groudon, it won't affect walling potential, but the ability to attack first (such as against Ho-Oh) could be game changing. Thunder Wave can be nice to cripple switch in such as Giratina-O and Lugia, but running Roar could be beneficial toward your team because you will have the ability to phaze out threats such as Arceus-Normal as well as phaze out predicted switch in's. Roar is the superior option over Dragon Tail because it goes through subs, and the damage done with Dragon Tail isn't that crucial. It also has 100% accuracy.

- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Roar

2) I would change Genesect's EV spread. It needs 184 Speed and a positive nature to outspeed positive natured max EV 90's and neutral natured base 95's. 224 and a positive nature is needed for positive base 95's. If you want to keep a Modest nature, the same values are true, except they will only outspeed neutral natured pokes. Genesect can never outspeed positive natured base 90's without a positive nature, however. The rest of the EV's should go to Def to take E-Speeds while sweeping. Also, Flamethrower can be a good option over Thunderbolt. It is sun boosted, and it hits Steels for SE damage.

3) Dialga would like to run Modest to obtain more power for KO what it needs too, and for late game sweeps. Without Timid, it can no longer tie with scarfed base 90's running positive natures, so only 204 Speed EV's are needed (reaches 400, faster than Timid Mewtwo and Rash Deoxys-A). The rest can go into HP.

4) Finally, what role does Arceus-Ghost play on your team. You say that it completely counter Arceus, which it doesn't. It cannot switch in on it if it is going for SD, which it should be doing. (Assuming Extremekiller) If you can get back to me on this, I should be able to help.

Hopefully this will help you.

Well after Darkrai is killed by Ekiller I switch to Arceus-Ghost to 2HKO the Arceus-N and even if it carries Shadow Claw it would have to win the speed tie

I'll test everything other than Roar on Groudon

but not having T-bolt might cost me vs Kyogre
