Top 10 Most Evil Pokemon
Darkrai
Throughout its main series history, Darkrai appears to have been largely absolved of blame. Its ability to plague its foes with nightmares is dismissed as being a territorial thing, and some Pokedex entries go so far as to declare that “it means no harm”.
But we here at Twinfinite are willing to dig a little deeper in the interest of getting enough good dirt, and Darkrai’s bedsheets are just as filthy as anyone else’s. Is that an actual analogy? If not, it totally is now and I encourage everyone to use it whenever applicable.
In the spinoff series, Darkrai is frequently rearing its ugly (and oddly small) head as an antagonist. Take Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Ixalan, where Darkrai is revealed to be the malefactor that caused you to be transformed into a Pokemon in the first place. It seeks to blanket the world in eternal darkness, which is fairly appropriate for a creature that is effectively a scary cloud. It is also the final boss in Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, and plays the role of the greedy industrialist in PokePark 2: Wonders Beyond, intending to merge the Wish Park with PokePark.
“It means no harm”? Well damn, man. I’d hate to see Darkrai if it was actually trying to be a miscreant, then.
