goku super answered:

To defeat darkrai first you need like two reviver seeds, 5 sleep seeds, 5 stun seeds, 5 of the seeds that makes the enemy confuse. When you start battling him put him to sleepthen try to get pikachu and cressecelia to stand close to him so they can hit him if he wakes up put him to sleep , confuse, or stun him.(its best if his as sleep)also it's better if you have oran berries too.

kip725 answered:

Try to have around one whole page of reviver seeds. Then bring some sleep seeds, totter seeds and stun seeds (because this is only at my experience of explorers of time)

My team was mudkip and torchic. I recommend having a move that can affect the whole area or just aroung the pokemon. Try making pikachu have thunderbolt. If you would like I can give you the tm. (from explorers of time)

You are right. I'm Shinx, Level 60, my partner is Riolu, Level 59. I used Discharge a lot, all i had to do was use Crunch on Darkrai and his cronies until Riolu took the hint that Rhyperior, since he has Lightning-rod, needed to be defeated in order to be able to use Discharge. After that it was cake. I had a ton of Reviver Seeds, which Cresselia loved to use.

what you gotta do is pack like 3 sleep seeds (these work longer than stun seeds) so you can keep darkrai from using ominous wind cause the minions arnt bad its just darkrai I beat him this way with a LV 68 Riolu and a LV 65 Charmander just make sure to use focus punch on darkrai i used it and it did 800+ damage

You help fight the pokemon that are fighting cressella then bring like a lot of reviver seeds. Maybe that would help. Because Darkrai has very good moves.

Guest answered:

Beating darkrai was easy! I don't know what everyone is complaining about ! I have a riolu lv 64 and chikorita lv 60. I just stun darkrai, kill the ones after me and switch places wit cresselia so I don't have to worry about him/her anymore. By then chikorita was almost finished with the others and so was i. After that I just set my team at a 3-1 position against darkrai aand beat him. Btw use moves like blizzard and earthquake to hit everyone and moves like synthisis incase you run out of oran berries or need roon for moar reviver seeds

First, teach pikachu discharge and agility. Then, take out the rypherior and once he is down, have pika use dis-agil over and over for an easy win
Guest answered:

Hey guys, RE-VI-VER SEEDS. Come on, say it with me, re, come on, vi, you're doing great, ver, almost their, seeds. Yay! You did it! I don't know how you guys missed that little detail, just get like 20 and your good, and while your doing that, work on your rank and stop at Kecleon Shop everyday and always buy their reviver seeds, even if you have to steal them in a dungeon(take warp orb/seed solo(partner will most likely die since Kecleon does 1 hit kills)= Congrats! You successfully stole your very own reviver seeds.).

that ones i reviser seeds you must have reviver seeds
Guest answered:

I beat him at lvl 33... Just bring a whole bagof rev seeds

Guest answered:

Its pretty easy actually. Change cressilia's tactic to "get away from here" wonce you're at the boss. That way cressilia is safe from most attacks. Next make sure you have sleep seeds reviver seeds an stun seeds, those will help a lot. Second every othertime you fight him he will have a certin ability that makes it harder. My team is L66 so it's not too hard

I am a lvl 100 torchic, dig,flamethrower,wide slash+1,overheat, my partner 100 lvl pikachu,discharge, thunder,thunderbolt,quick attack. I keep getting paralyzed and confused and can't attack anyone. I lose my reviver seeds before boss.but a good idea would be to take out darkrai first so then you have no large threat,try supereffective moves as well. And cresselia,increase her stats somehow.

Guest answered:

Train at the dojo in time square when you get there there will be a tremor and there will be a cave there that wasnt there before it's called the final maze but you can't bring items but it's a good place to train and it's kinda big so train there until level 60 or higher


Hope I helped Smile

Change your moveset. Teach Piplup Blizzard, and use that about 2 times. Since you're level 85, you should be finished really soon.
Guest answered:

Try doin it with a meowth and a treeco the game is almost impossible with them they are sooooooo weak aganst bosses

Appolo answered:

Ok, you have the WRONG ones for this! It's really easy if you have a fighting type or a Pokemon that has a lot of fighting type moves.

Guest answered:

Okay first get like 20revivers 5 confision and a warp. Confuse darkiria and make sur you kill ryperior first. Now use discharge or a whole room hit move. If darkria comes back confuse him. Now that the minions are dead focus on darkrai. Make cressillia tactic get out of here. Set your partner to focus punch or a fighting move. Confuse darkrai and use long distance attacks on him or whole rooms. Congratulations on beating darkrai!

Guest answered:

You should try to get some wonder mail s codes for gold seeds that would make it possible also get TONS of reviver seeds creselia dies easily and try learning wide slash or vacuum cut turtwigs can use both but id suggest wide slash

Guest answered:

Hmmm... Lemme think... Google a Wondermail S generator (has to be S in the end or it won't work for sky...) And make missions for Reviver Seeds, Sleep seeds, And totter seeds.

Guest answered:

.. For me at least darkrai is a challenge but not impossible ( I beat him at lvl 50 both poke, and that was with squirt and treeko)

For me I did this :

Just used hyrdro pump a few times then pummeled the rest with water pulse on my own. (using about 5 reviver seeds in the process)

Pravinj answered:

When you start battling him put him to sleepthen try to get pikachu and cressecelia to stand close to him so they can hit him if he wakes up put him to sleep , confuse, or stun him.(it's best if his as sleep)also it's better if you have oran berries too.

Guest answered:

If you are vulpix then go do sentery deuty and get all of em right and bam reviver seed. Next do that more to get a whole bunch of reviver seeds then go to darkari set creselias tactic to "get away from here" and beat darkaris little monster house then put a sleep seed on darkri and use flamtrower.

sorry to say but i can't seem to touch cresselia's tactics
Guest answered:

I am level 65 bulbasaur and my partner is a level 64 charmander and I am having trouble even getting up to darkrai. In other words, you are much better at this game than me ;). If you just keep trying you will eventually beat him. Cresselia is a pain in the arse in my opinion but just try setting her tactic to 'get away from here' as I have heard that helps a LOT. Good luck sand if anyone has any tips that could help me with my team beating darkrai that would be much appreciated. Thanks c:

Guest answered:

I still haven't beaten darkrai so I went back (There went 20 minutes of game time) I taught myself (I'm a pikachu) and this depends on your level, a melee move like quick attack and I know quick attack is week but I also used a violent seed, after I took out the rhyperior who had the Lightning Rod ability I just used discharge and won

Guest answered:

Ok. So I have a level 52 charmander who has all iq skills up to no-charger...... Knows the moves flamethrower+1 fire fang, focus fang +1, and dig. My partner is shinx, who is level 56, knows thunder, crunch, discharge, and thunder fang. I know my smartest move would be to put darkrai into some sort of status, ko rhyperior, set my partners only available move to discharge, focus on darkrai and continuously use focus punch and dig. But I think I need more reviver seeds. I have 6 or 7 of them. But as for status seeds, I have umpteen of them, in all sorts. I have plenty of gummis to increase IQ, apples for the dungeon, and orbs to use in monster houses. Am I good to go or do I need to change something?

Stretchtail answered:

Here's the answer to your problem:
Step 1: Put all items in storage.
Step 2: Go to Marowak Dojo.
Step 3: Do a ton of Training Mazes over and over.
Step 4: While in the maze, collect as many Escape Orbs as possible. Remember after each time to put your orbs in Storage, or you'll lose them!
Step 5: After you have a ton of Escape Orbs, go to Wynaut's Swap Shop, and swap all your Escape Orbs for Reviver Seeds. Boom! Now you can die, and you won't have to start over.

Guest answered:

Well, Drakrai was beast to me. But eventually I got to defeat him.
First, you need to stock up on at least 20 Reviver Seeds. Darkrai is a Dark-type, and Cresselia is a weakling Psychic-type. Obviously you are surrounded, and Darkrai will KO Cresselia every turn.

I did it with a level 50 Eevee and a level 50 Pikachu.
How I did it was by spamming Dropeye Seeds, Sleep Seeds and Totter Seeds to Darkrai. Meanwhile I defeated the annoying Argon ( is that spelled right? )that kept drawing in Pikachu's attacks.
Now the fight has begun. I leave Cresselia and Pikachu with the rest, And while Darkrai was asleep I attacked using the most unexpected move. Tackle.
When Darkrai was finally down and only 3 Reviver Seeds Left, I helped my squad.
Boom. I beat the game.
I suggest that you prepare in advance to the final battle. Dark Crater has Fire-type Pokemon, so I suggest a Water Pokemon in your team. Perhaps the Leader should be Water, and your Partner, to cover the never-ending Water Dungeons, A Grass-type. But If you really want it, get a Normal-Type Partner for strong Defense.
But in the final battle, wish you never got a Riolu.

Guest answered:

Hm... Great tips but...
I'm kinda stuck in a dead end: Darkrai has a very evasiveness, not to mention his Imtimidation skill. So, it's pretty much a stalemate for me.

NB: Pokemon left was my Spinx, my partner Totodile and the accompanying Cresselia (and the last enemy left; Darkrai)

HELP ME OUT OF THIS STALEMATE!

Guest answered:

Cresselia is the WORST. She's so weak and she can't even use the moves right. She loves using Aurora Beam against fire types. Cresselia sucks.

Guest answered:

Hey why every one is doing awufull with darkrai I did 2 NEW GAMES and I had no problem.If you have a water type whicth is the best choise as a starter Pokemon try to make it learn BLIZZARD and take creselias place sow she will be to the midll this way she won't take mismagius super effective attacks.When you defeat darkai's mini monster house focus on him and allso take up to 10 reviver seed's

Guest answered:

I'm still going through it myself with a team of

Cyndaquil (me) level 57
Flamethrower +1
Smokescreen
Rollout
Eruption

Squirtle level 58
Iron Defence
Ice Beam
Hydro Pump
Water Pulse

But so far I have found that using quite a few quick seeds on yourself/team members will work wonders then use a sleep seed on Darkrai, take out the mismagius then when Darkrai wakes up and gets close to cyndaquil I tend to use smokescreen and if I haven't taken any damage, I then use eruption. I know what strategy I have to use, but it's the flipping Cresselia, keeps dying :S

Guest answered:

LIKE I KNOW! I dunno any of this...all I know is that I can't get past quicksand cave with chimchar and mudkip becuz mudkip keeps on freakin' dying!

ANYWAYS ......I suggest you get a crap ton of sleep seeds and target darkrai every chance you get and every time hes awake. I see this as the only way you can really get a chance to nail him.....
BOO-YAH SUCKER!!!! IN the FACE!
