Darkrai, number 491 in the National Dex and a Sinnoh Pokémon, holds Darkranite to become Mega Darkrai, taking its total from 600 to 700. The biggest single gain is 40 Defense, followed by 40 Sp. Def. It also loses 40 Speed.
The typing does not change — it is Dark before and after — so the Mega is the same defensive problem as the base form, only bigger. The ability stays Bad Dreams.
As Dark, 3 of the eighteen attacking types get through for extra damage. It resists 2 and is outright immune to 1. The full board is above; the short version is that the types listed under ×2 and ×4 are the ones worth planning around.
Mega Darkrai cannot be used in the current Pokémon Champions regulation, so there is no ladder data for it and no legal set to report. Darkrai is not legal either, so the whole line sits outside the format rather than just the Mega.
Regulation M-B closes on 9 September 2026, and legality is regenerated from the format data on every build rather than written by hand, so this page will change on its own if that changes.
Smogon publishes no head-to-head checks-and-counters data for doubles formats, so this list is computed, not measured: these are the most-played Regulation M-B Pokémon carrying a damaging move of a type Mega Darkrai takes extra damage from.
Of the 91 Mega forms in the dex, Mega Darkrai is 10th by base stat total. Its best stat is Sp. Atk at 165, which is 11th among Megas; its worst is HP at 70, 66th. One other Mega shares the Dark typing and therefore this exact matchup board: Mega Absol.
A Mega slot is a commitment: the stone occupies the held item, so whatever Mega Darkrai would have wanted from an item, it does not get. Drop it into the team builder to see what the rest of the six then have to cover, or take it to the damage calculator to find out whether those 165 points of Special Attack actually change a knockout.
