Collector Insights

Darkrai is a Darkness-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, featured in the Burning Shadows set released on August 5, 2017. It has 120 HP and requires two Colorless Energy to retreat. The card includes two attacks: Hypnoblast, which costs one Darkness and one Colorless Energy to deal 30 damage and puts the opponent's Active Pokémon to sleep, and Dark Raid, a more powerful attack that costs three Energy (two Colorless and one Darkness) to deal 80+ damage, with an additional 80 boost if the opponent has already used their GX attack. Darkrai resists Psychic-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks with double damage. The card is printed as a Rare Holo and was illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga. Its flavor text describes it as a Pokémon that pursues others by inducing terrifying, dreamlike states. The card’s design and mechanics align with its thematic role in the Pokémon TCG.

It chases people and Pokémon from its territory by causing them to experience deep, nightmarish slumbers.
