Opting for a bulkier spread overall enables Darkrai to stick around far long, cripple physical attackers attempting to handle it and its teammates while still remaining a capable threat with Nasty Plot and Dark Pulse. Will-O-Wisp takes would be problematic threats for Dark such as Alolan Muk and Skarmory, and cripples their ability to apply pressure. Finally for its last option Darkrai has plenty of tools, Focus Blast rips through the likes of Hisuian Goodra and Ting-Lu, Thunder easily fells Corviknight and Toxapex, and Ice Beam can apply strong pressure against the Landorus formes and Clodsire. The EV Spread used enables Darkrai to tank a Body Press from Skarmory and Archaludon along with a Meowscarada Play Rough while still outspeeding non Choice Scarf Meowscarada and Torandus-T. Leftovers can enable Darkrai some stability while setting up while Heavy-Duty Boots grants Darkrai safe entry as Dark lacks good hazard removal.
