Darkrai's weaknesses
As a pure Dark-type Pokemon in Pokemon Go, Darkrai is vulnerable to the Bug, Fairy, and Fighting kinds. Because 5-Star Raids are among the hardest bouts in the game, trainers must level up and teach their fiercest moves to their best counters. Not only that, but it can withstand attacks of the Dark, Ghost, and Psychic types, so when you go into battle, try to stay away from using Pokemon of these types.
