Darkrai is a Dark-type Pokémon (National Dex #491) with a pseudo-legendary-tier stat total of 600. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A, BDSP and Legends: Arceus, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Sp. Atk at 135, which makes it a fast, hard-hitting sweeper. Special Attack outweighs Attack by a clear margin, so Modest or Timid with a special move set is the natural build. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Darkrai takes super-effective damage from Fighting, Bug, Fairy. It is completely immune to Psychic. It resists Ghost, Dark. Its ability options are Bad Dreams.
In-game, Darkrai has 8 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (2), Legends: Z-A (1), BDSP (3), Legends: Arceus (2) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A, BDSP, Legends: Arceus, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Darkrai ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
