How to get Shiny Darkrai and their prices in Pokémon Go

Shiny Pokémon are rare versions of Pokémon in Pokémon go that have an altered appearance. They are called shiny because usually they have a slight sheen that makes them stand out more than normal versions. This guide explains how to get Shiny Darkrai, the Pitch-Black Pokemon.

brilliant rates

Aside from Pokemon that don't have shiny versions in the game, each Pokemon has a base shine rating assigned to it that tells you how often you'll see a shiny version of it under normal circumstances. Darkrai is a Mythical Pokémon, so its shine rating is around 1 in 20; so for every 20 Darkrai raids you do, you'll likely only see one shiny build.

How to get Darkrai

There is no way to force a Shiny Darkrai to appear. Unfortunately, the best way to get a Shiny Darkrai is to increase the number of times you encounter it. Since Darkrai is a Mythical Pokémon that is rarely in the game, this can be incredibly difficult. However, we have some tips.

  • Plan many raids. Twenty or more is ideal. It's a good idea to be in an area with lots of gyms on a day when you know Darkrai will be featured in raids. The more gyms you have in your vicinity, the more likely one is to host a Darkrai. With Darkrai's shiny rate at 5%, you'll have a good chance of catching one if you do more raids.
  • Beware of raid times and other special events. Currently there are no raid times scheduled for Darkrai. However, Niantic usually gives players enough notice before hosting one. Raid Hours are times when the number of 5-level raids increases, further increasing the chance of seeing a Shiny Darkrai.
