Darkrai questions

Is Darkrai a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Darkrai joins the collection from the Sinnoh gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Darkrai in PokéSurvivor?

Darkrai is Dark. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Darkrai be shiny?

Yes. A wild Darkrai is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Darkrai a rift legendary?

Yes. Darkrai only appears in a distortion rift, not in normal waves or as a timed boss.
