Or, and this may be a little hard to believe but maybe, just maybe
Palkia has mindhax resistance on his profile for a reason.

Isn't Darkrai a literal personification of sleep that can send things to sleep with a thought?
- 40,446

Yeah but Darkrai prefers to use Dark Void.
Huh. Darkrai is pretty overconfident in the PMD and Pokepark games, right? That could be a big issue.
Oh. Thanks, I don't know much about PMD. Sorry for the mistake. I think he'll just see Goku, probably realise he's powerful and send him to sleep or Wish Park or something.

Well, I guess you could go that route. That still just makes them have baseline 4D mind hax on their own and Palkia's resistance is better than one 4D or two 4D but is stopped by three 4D people's worth of mindhax.
What about Wish Park? Darkrai could BFR him there, unless IT goes through dimensions, which I'm pretty sure it does.

@DE. Sorry I'm being a dick, btw. It's just you know how I feel about XV.
On that noteback to being a dick, still false. They're still 4-D embodiments across a giant range.
On that note

Isn't sleep hax and mind hax two different things?
- 21,354

It's okay man, everyone has their peeves.The real cal howard said:
Sleep hax isn't always mind hax, but it's unclear what Dark Void is, so it's safer to assume it's mindhax.
- 4,178
- 1,471
Dark Void type and description discards mind hax.
- 21,354
- 2,971
What's the comparison between Darkrai's mind hax and The LT's?
No. Just because something isn't Psychic doesn't mean it ain't mind hax and it's description doesn't, it just says that they're sent to a world that puts them to sleep, HOW it does it is unclear.

Pretty sure Dark Void can also be counted as BFR based on its visual and description in the Core Games, which are the primary canon for Pokemon.

Dark Void is used as BFR in Pkmn Ranger
Yes, but the way it puts people to sleep is mind hax.

Honestly, Darkrai wins with Dark Void.

What a strange thing, Xeno Goku is able to defeat/kill Dialga or Palkia while Darkrai was incapable of this, but manages to defeat Xeno Goku ...
- 21,354

idk man, that's usually how it works.
Yup. It's a situational thing. Specially since Xeno Goku is Acasual.

Woah, this thread became a heated mess.
Anyway, to bring back the focus of the discussion to the fight.
From what I remember in the AMV video that was linked, he used an electric attack a couple of times - is that something he uses often?
Oh, could I get an answer on the intangible thing?

What other moves is Darkrai going to use in a fight?Warren Valion said:

I really don't think an AMV is the best way to gauge in-character moves. Darkrai has other sleep based techniques, including Hypnosis which is just direct mental sleep hax, and the technique he used on Palkia (perhaps a variant of dark void?).
He's passively intangible, as shown in PMD.

Do you need NPI on the level of something to seal something that you can't interact with?

It showed a decent amount of fighting for the character in whatever movie it was taken the scenes from tbf.GyroNutz said:
Doesn't he not use that in character often though?
If he's passively intangible, then Goku can't touch him.
- 21,354

Goku seals people into the dragon balls, I don't really know how it works. If that doesn't work then Goku doesn't have a wincon here.

If Goku can't touch him, then yeah, Goku takes a nap.

Yeah, if the sealing doesn't work then is a stomp.
Right now Darkrai takes this for the reasons everybody has been mentioning.

I blame the OP calling him a ghost in the title, though Darkrai does like to hide in shadows if I remember correctly, though in the movie Pikachu managed to hurt it in its shadow form so don't know if thats relevant.
Edit: Darkrai putting Palkia to sleep has been mentioned alot for the strength of its sleep hax, but from what I remember of the scene in Mystery Dungeon Time/Darkness/Sky (best Pokemon games ever), it didn't use Dark Void, Hypnosis, or anything like that on Palkia, Palkia was just instantly asleep without Darkrai or its attacks physically touching it. So maybe thought hax sleep?
