Forums - Nintendo - Counters against Darkrai noobs? (Pokemon X/Y)

Eh... I've never ran into anyone running sheer cold.  If you're actually playing someone who does, you should probably beat them anyway.  But Machamp is highly underrated.  

You could also go with Machamp with Guts, teach it sleep talk, and Facade.  The status boosts his power, and facade does as well.

Or Kyogre with choice scarf and Water Spout...

Or Snorlax with Sleep talk.  

You can try Yanmega with Speed boost.  After the first turn (which you protect on) you should be faster than Darkrai.  You probably can't kill it with one bug buzz, but two should do it.  

Anyway you're kind of overthinking it.  Any Pokemon with a high attack, a good fighting move, and a lum berry will do.   Also, anything with high special attack or attack that is cchoice scarfed.

 

I need multiple options since just one may not fit on all of my teams. For my main team, choice scarf infernape has been doing things alright! ^_^

For my secondary team, what I've done is added in Klefki and given him Safeguard. That's all I had to do actually since Serperior and Aereodactyl already outspeed Darkrai, and Scrafty has Fake Out to stall it.

So yeah, thanks for all the advice guys! I'm happy to say Darkrai is not much of any issue anymore!

Use a Pokemon with Insomnia and Encore :p

Or you can have a Pokemon with Taunt

Or use Pokemon (Espeon) with Magic Bouncer though is a bit risky as Espeon is psychic


These are good, though few Pokemon have those abilitys so might be hard to work em into my team, and with Taunt you still have to be faster, and Darkrai is pretty damn fast. =/

Prankster Pokemon. Sableye, Kelfki would do well for that.

You still on x/y? I used to play it until I found pokemon showdown

Anyways any pokemon with prankster and taunt should shut down darkrai, of a fighting type with lum berry

 


Yep, I support the actual games! xP
