The D Tier is about to be renamed the Darkrai Memorial Tier
I stg 😂
lolololol
Yes please
Owl has suffered enough
U know the drill, whenever the new release is weak........
I truly think way darkrai is right now yes D tier for it
Darkrai: *ults*
Scizor: I'm not stuck here with you. You're stuck here with me 😈
Wigglytuff taking the bad dreams advantage to sleep advantage: um actually you are stuck with him Scizor 😈
@@dark-angel7437 can any outside mon intervene? I don't think wigglytuff enters the dream.
@@gudrunlourinho4688that’s just objectively not true, you can literally see Absol kill him during his unite in the fast few seconds of the final match
Fitting that Darkrai puts you to sleep.
haha
In more ways than one...
My main problem with it is that it feels like dark pulse should be activating much much faster but there’s such a crazy wait time between each hit of damage that it feels incredibly weak
We should be able to take rayquaza into the void
OH HELL NAHH
Please no
That would be so funny, like imagine not kill stealing ray from the enemy team you just steal it.
@@trainerrichard6859yea it will be fun until you realise that it is on the enemy team
The fact you can remotely activate the void punch after they sleep is cool
yeah true thats really cool
It's a speedster so why does the damage feel like it's closer to the damage numbers of support pokemons
Kinda curious how well it would do with wiggly on lane, maybe its going to be the first speedster designed for lane.
Idk each of it's moves takes more time to cast than it takes some pokemon to start and finish a whole fight too. The speedster role just doesn't fit. If your pokemon takes a whole minute to cast moves and KO another pokemon that doesn't sound like a speedster. Maybe if it was ATK based, it would fit better since it also seems to rely on basic attacks for a significant portion of the early game and it's auto attacks do ATK damage. But idk, for now it just seems badly designed
@@rucifer5431 yeah its the second spatk speedster and it doesnt fit well in the role, they will buff the damage if they want Darkrai to be a speedster, always felt weird to me that spatk pkmn still have physical atk damage on base attacks especially considerimg that spatk emblems lower your atk.
Darkrai should’ve been a support
Ok so, I tried Darkrai in the PTS, and I gotta say it feels underwhelming, BUT, I think I’m onto something.
I used Shadow Claw with Nasty Plot, and the items Muscle Band, Razor Claw, and Slick Spoon.
Since basics hit with physical damage but abilities use magic damage (special atk), I decided to combine them both and it seems to work!
The combo would be (for now) Nasty Plot -> Shadow Claw -> Ult -> Shadow Claw -> Basic.
Late games becomes even better since Nasty Plot+ refreshes when enemy falls asleep and Shadow Claw does just that. I’m thinking on using double stack Atk Weight and Sp Atk Specs along with Resonant Guard, or Aeos Cookie for extra HP. There’s also Shell Bell for the CD. I will update any other finds I come across.
UPDATE #1: Early game feels so much better now, but late game… it gets so rough.. Imma try Shell Bell next to see what changes, but so far double stacking isn’t that great compared to the first build I tried. I feel Darkrai NEEDS a buff, and a big one..
UPDATE #2: This time I used Resonant Guard, Shell Bell, and Slick Spoon. Gotta say survivability is pretty decent now, perhaps even good, but damage is still pretty mediocre. Considering how squishy Darkrai is, he should hit harder and have more mobility with his abilities, the classic glass cannon. But for now, he’s just glass..
Shadow claw and Nasty plot seems like the combo to go with.
For a speedster it looks pretty sluggish. The fact the kit is to put things to sleep sort of indicates that, too. I think the potential for burst damage is there, but unless someone gets really good at landing those bursts, it will be a tough one to master. The ult is really cool, I think it just needs more tuning on the damage and make it feel more like an actual speedster with some mobility or increased attack damage. Maybe the attack items/attack speed would be beneficial given the CDR on moves are so long?
When mons are sitting there waiting for dark pulse to end... that's painful.
The one who thought and designed Darkrai's moves should be fired
With you.
No signature move of darkrai(Nightmare) is there,
The basic attack animations looks trash
Movement animation looks trash
Moveset looks trash
Pokemon unite fell down with this pokemon....
They had 3 years to think and design the skills of one of the most favourite pokemon and they came with this...
I thought D-Pulse would have been absolutely nasty to deal with but dear lord the way the controls work for it some cheeks
such an iconic Pokemon ruined by such a bad gameplay
The first set looks fun though. Only the other set looks whacky.
Tbh , he seems lacklustre.
He just doesn't feel like a Speedster to me
Agree it looks more like an allrounder/supporter to me, maybe its going to be the first speedster designed for lane😂
@@kuroginava8498it’s not even good for lane because it learns the good moves until level 6 and 7
Just like release double team meowscarada. We're gonna have some insane changes to Darkrai pretty soon
Shedinja Doll is useless because it sets you up to instantly get KO'd and Dark Pulse isn't much better. It really needs to hide where you're targetting.
12:05 The shadow claw dark pulse combo seems sick if this is true.
Hit the first use of shadow claw to put a mark on Venu. Then use dark pulse and hit Venu with first use of dark pulse, activating the mark and putting Venu to sleep. Finally landing shadow claw on a sleeping opponent does increased damage dealing 1,780 damage to Venu compared to the 1,029 spragles did on the altaria a few seconds earlier. It seems overall reception of Darkrai is negative but I can't wait to try this.
Love the design of Darkrai and what he's supposed to do. Dark Pulse feels slow to me, especially as this is a Speedster, you are just stranded there while the enemies wait for you.
This is literally just Yin for Mobile Legends except without the 10 thousand anime collab skins
Ayyy someone knows it lol
His powers look like morderkaiser's from LOL
Also being OP and being boring aren’t mutually exclusive. Like Prime Mewtwos (especially Y)
Mewtwo x isnt boring in my opinion mewtwo y maybe
@@lampad4549 Yeah X is melee so it’s less boring. Still pretty mid imo
TRUE
Tbh Darkrai doesn't look that strong. A little undercooked
If they make dark pulse faster it will be nice 👍
Should've been ranged. Auto attacks could be like Mewtwo Y and build up a Drowsiness meter or something, where after a certain amount of attacks, Darkrai puts the enemy to sleep. This could also affect nearby enemies
Idk if it's the lag, but Dark Pulse is the main disappointment to me.
It seems like this is one of the few times where the fantasy of the pokemon and the mechanics of it have NOT met in the middle well. It’ll definitely need some reworking or some REALLY good quality of life. Personally I think the moves should be reworked and its focus on sleep needs a quality of life change with how it’s triggered and works.
jake seems to have been losing some weight, and i mean that in a healthy way. guy is a stud!
I have! Thanks for noticing
I feel like it is vital to try and confuse the enemies waiting in the dark pulse circles with the shadow claws so they don’t know when u are going to pop out. Still needs buffs
"Bit of a snooze"
pun intended?
I really hope this is an early first look because this has the parts of a great Pokémon, but everything about it feels underbaked.
Some changes I’d like to see to this:
-if it’s gonna be a lvl 6 first move Pokémon, it needs some kind of increased effectiveness from its base moves, because as it stands it feels bad to farm and to gank. It’s burst damage is pretty good, so I’m tentative to say it needs a damage number increase. Maybe decrease it’s base cooldowns or, preferably, during the duration of calm mind, make it normal attacks scale off of its special attack stat as that would allow better usage of the damage items and emblems it would want to run for more consistent damage while its waiting for hypnosis to come back up.
-Dark Pulse needs to be faster and when you pop leave Pokémon within that circle you pop out of either gets knocked away or gets put to sleep.
-the nasty plot/dark void build needs healing. Either from Nasty Plot’s boosted attacks or using a boosted auto to wake up Pokémon put to sleep by Dark Void.
-if you win your duel during the unite, you should be rewarded. Either you should be healed to full with unstoppable or you should have a brief invuln window and move speed increase so you can at least reposition without getting blown up by the enemy team. It feels really bad to be punished so hard with no counter play for yourself for winning in your own unite. It needs something.
I think darkrai will be pretty good he seems a lot more team reliant like he can do okish dmg but would 1000% benefit from a wiggly or lax helping put people to sleep to get more use out of bad dreams even when his cds are up
Damn idk. I personally like the first moveset I think the boosteds from the portals are very cool, the single target damage looks really good seems like you’ll be able to assassinate people pretty well and you could do some sweet combos if you manage your nasty plot counters and cooldowns well. I wish it was a bit flashier especially since this is a mythical pokemon though, maybe it will get better once they add the sound affects and stuff but the visual oomph just kinda isn’t there
Now the 2nd moveset feels problematic, it looks clunky and doesn’t do enough damage for a speedster. I feel like shadow claw should do more damage but the main problem is Dark pulse. Dark pulse is both extremely telegraphed and does no damage, even if you hit both shadow claw and dark void hits (won’t happen often) it’s not enough to KO most things and even if you wanna do that little damage you need to have your shadow claw cooldown up before you use dark void. Dark pulse definitely needs either a rework or a huge damage buff. I suggest they have it reset the cooldown of shadow claw when the move ends and have the shadow claw you use during dark pulse be up always despite if shadow claw is on cooldown or not.
That way you could do
Shadow Claw-> Dark pulse -> The dark pulse version of shadow claw -> the dark pulse hits -> shadow claw
speedster slower than a lot of defenders 😂😂😂
21:37 Pikachu: Nano machines son, They harden in response to trauma.
I hope they rework Nasty Plot's range or cooldown or some reset gimmick (other than the + version) so that you can dash around enemies and makes it feel more speedster-like
But does his passive work with wiggly and snorlax putting Pokémon to sleep?
Yessssssssssssss pts is crowded with wiggly Darkrai
I really expected dark void to bounce off targets as a multi hit, rather than just hitting once. His basic attacks just seem really boring like Miraidon and Mewtwo.
I was really hoping that dark void was going to have a move animation more similar to modern Pokémon games. Like a big pool of dark energy on the ground that puts enemies to sleep
I feel like for the idea of Darkrai coming to the game as the first Sp Attack Speedster since base Unite, the team couldve went harder with the way Darkrai feels. Maybe it needs a patch like Gyrados got where it just gets its move smoothed out and it makes a world of difference
I’m really really REALLY hoping that it’s buffed before its release. I feel like, compared to heavy-hitters like Leafeon, Absol, and Talon that it’s not going to have that big damage burst that speedsters are expected to have. Right now it feels almost like a supporter.
it may shine best in a sleep team, as long as the ability works on other pokemon's sleeps (yawn, sing, etc)
I'm not going to lie. I think darkrai should have increased basic attack range for his boosted, it doesn't have to be far, i say about dragonite's basic attack range, but there definitely be more range to hit sleeping targets with your shadow.
The dash is way too short and has way too much end lag for what darkrai seems to want to be doing
They should add more inside the domain to mske it appealing other than just making it look like we were blinded by sandthrow or smoke screen
Edit: Im mainly speaking about darkrai POV
Darkrai can definitely use some work
dark pulse is cool but seems pretty slow and weak
maybe if the targets asleep it would be nice but still
Wiggily and Darkrai is the new toxic lane
It seems like Bad Dreams also gives you a Boosted Attack.
Darkrai wants to Dark Void / Shadow Claw then go in for a Basic Attack so they sleep, While they're taking damage over time you retreat and Boosted Attack from range.
Love darkrai really hope the dark pulse is the stronger build when it realeses
Dude dark pulse is literally a broken (in a negative way) move. It looks like you cannot get out of it anytime you want and you have to wait until the whole duration is up making it a complete garbage. The enemies simply just have to walk away while you become a sitting duck with no more chasing potential whatsoever.
Definitely underwhelming that Pikachu shouldn’t be able to stand there and tank it in the way he did lol
Underwhelming for such an iconic mon tbf
same thing with the mewtwos 😅
ruined by boring movesets
I feel like he's supposed to be a sneaky mon , getting in and getting out . If someone is on the dark pluse when its about to end don't appear there . Use nasty plot to get around and boost damage, to jump on unexpected players.
Its not giving Speedster vibes:(
Everything needs more synergy together and it needs to be faster, im a tad disappointed
Ironically the nasty plot + dark void set is a lot better than the other(shadow claw + dark pulse). It has the mobility & burst this Pokémon DESPERATELY needs. But you should probably try Shadow claw + Nasty Plot
It’s so underwhelming & I was hoping that Dakrai would be the speedster to make me play speedsters(the one class I dont play cuz I just don’t like the play style & dont wannna deal with jungle shenanigans)
considering the name DARKRAI this is not what I expected
Darkrai = Gengar + Mimiku + light damage
I want pidgeot :3 I really like him wish was here
I have a feeling that any regional bird they add will be a banger (Dodrio and Cram are like the two most fun mons in the game)
@@whoisjoe5610those are not regional birds
@@bsemz5836 There's no actual census on what regional birds are, it's a fanmade term with vastly different definitions, bet you most people think Fearow isn't one even though it fits all the standard criterion
@@whoisjoe5610 regional bird is the bird Pokémon you can get on the first route of game, Pidgey,hoothoot,swellow, starly, Pidove,fletching, little woodpecker guy, corvinight and little electric seagull are defined as regional birds
@@whoisjoe5610 people don't consider fearow a regional bird?
Emergency buff needed.😢
dont quote me on this but it feels like a lot of its dmg comes from its abilty, with how slow it is it feels like a supporter or backliner more than speedster ngl
nahhh cuz I made a post saying how I was excited about mastering this mon and after seeing this I wanna save coins for psyduck 💀💀💀
I think you should lead with dark pulse then do you first hit from it and shadow claw twice then run or get the KO with the last hit
I see ppl going darkrai crazy with that unite move already
Wow shadow claw doesn't put them to sleep when dark pulse is active😮.
I mean...i do like like that his basic boosted hits the pokemon as long as its on screen, kinda crazy the range but he sucks so bad they need to speed up his moves and reduce cd and boost that dmg up because hes so slow at everything and soooo weak too, this is a support the way it is now
By no means this feels as an speedster, they just thought it fit with the gengar archetype but on steroids and gave it a go...
Want to know if Dark Pulse and Dark Void have any unique interactions or are kinda useless together?
Overall not the most interesting looking Pokemon gameplay wise to me either. Has potential though.
darkrai feels so outclassed and slow a speedster compared to leafeon. but its still early. i remember they fixed snipeshot so theres hope
Man, Dark Void looks omega disappointing. Would have been much if it was an aimable small circle in an area like Rain Dance. And if it hit it gave you a follow up dash to approach the asleep target. And maybe make the Nasty Plot dash a little bigger.
Interesting that the boosted can activate on multiple people at the same time, I wonder if nasty plot also applies to all of them since it uses a similar visual?
I’m actually pretty excited for both move sets I just think nasty plot could do something more
Darkrais cool, but it isnt slurpuff. SLURPUFF FOR UNITE!!
Getting out sped by the eldy was hilarious in the last game
Guess ima live on copium and play a not good character out of love 😭
It’s saying ATTACK … under the name not spka not sure if it’s because of the test server
Interesting. The unite move seems to make you go back to where you used it after its finished. And when using it, you're unstopable and invincible?
Gengar vs Darkrai 💜
full sleep team with darkrai will be funny
It seems like it's designed to pick up stragglers trying to escape a fight or interrupt an ongoing one.
I think that they need to change the way you stack scoring items
It truly made it, it made me sleep due to how boring Darkrai is. 💤💤💤
Darkrai got the mordekai ult, welcome to brazil hue hue hue hue
good luck for the ppl who try adding darkrai to their unite move tier lists XD- the pokemon company got lazy making new move icons
I feel like they need to speed up the animation of dark pulse to make it more viable.
Dark pluse and shadow claw needs a rework it should work like 6 charges of ceruledge shadow sneak
Also Darkrai auto attacks should be ranged
I feel like you’re using Dark Pulse wrong. You keep using it to dash back into the enemy when you’re clearly outnumbered. You could be dashing away, still damaging them if they choose to pursue, while also allowing you to escape from a greater distance. But I agree that the numbers and kit seem pretty underwhelming.
With the ult being an "arena", Dark Pulse will fill the arena. They are less likely to juke.
Update: Woof, Dark Pulse just does not hit hard enough to justify taking yourself out of the game that long.
Try dark pulse and dark void and shadow claw and nasty plot it feels like if dark pulse works w dark void it might be a better combo
Dark Pulse reminds me of Waterfall on release Gyarados, looks fun, is clunky
The only problem here is that darkrai is not fast, its moves are really slow, slower old t tar's stone edge, even the ult is slow and makes the user startled for a while when using ult, just increase damage a bit and do a real good buff on move speed and it will get good
damn. still gonna buy this guy on launch lol.
why is darkrai melee attacker in the first plce isnt it a spatker originally, and its range suck its gonna get bullied so bad by the other melee attackers ans sp attakers
Ping is not helping with my observation, but darkrai feels so sloowww. Lots of standing around doing nothing, especially activating boosted basics. Darkrai should be able to move doing that. Dark pulse also seems extremely slow. We can see in the video how you are button mashing it and the moves dont come out because they are LOCKED for some time. The activation time takes forever for lackluster damage that isn't worth escaping from; not even a pikachu you had level lead over died from it. Being invulnerable during it doesn't matter when you do no damage, kind of a goodra syndrome.
Also really not a fan of the current visuals for the ult. It's flashy and confusing when exiting which makes my head hurt.
Gengar is special speedster
Sableye is physical support
and Dragonite is ranged all rounder
The 4 odd one out Pokemon are gonna seek revenge afterward
I feel like nasty plot and dark void setup can be worked on a bit more
I made a YT short about Darkrai. It's a Sp.Attacker. It's doesn't feel like a speedster to me. The moves seem too slow
Yeah do they just spin a wheel to choose the role? Bc it feels inaccurate lol
Dark Pulse seems like something youd use in a team fight. Theres no value in using it in a 1v1.
Really don't know how can dark pulse be much usefull, in what situation will the enemy team be that spread out?
Wondent it be cool if he had dream eater?
Streamers about to get targeted by Mymikyu, Slowbro and Darkrai unites all in the same game.
They need to make all his movesests WAY faster he is crazy slow
Oh joy... Another character with only CC gimmicks... How fun Timi
Seems kinda slow. Can be bcoz of server issue bcoz of vpn but if not, then it is too clunky. Fixing it to have faster animation and activation can do wonders for it.
