Darkrai gets credited for making me do my first ever Google search related to competitive battling. When in middle School my friend had one and kept dark voiding me. What pissed me off is how it always went first. I searched and found out Jolteon was faster, I thunder waved Darkrai and beat my friend in the battle (He didn't know type advantages etc... just spammed dark void). Let's just say after I revealed that weakness he was no longer top dog at the lunch table. This also propelled Jolteon into being one of my top 5 fave Pokemon.

The Dark Void nerf might be dumbest nerf in all of Pokemon. They reduced it's accuracy from 80 to 50 so that Smeargle could no longer abuse it in VGC, but they also made it so that Dark Void would fail if used by a Pokemon other than Darkrai, meaning that Smeargle can't even use the move anymore.

Here's how I think Gen 7's Dark Void mega-nerf went down: they reduced its accuracy to 50% to make it less reliable for Smeargle in VGC, and *THEN* they decided to make the move literally unusable for anything other than Darkrai to wipe it from VGC entirely, and in the process, they forgot to undo the accuracy nerf after defeating the entire point of it.

That whole debacle exposed how reliant Darkrai had become on this one move. Not a good trait for competitive battling if you ask me. A good, consistent Pokémon wouldn't have completely disappeared from the map after one direct nerf, just look at Gengar managing to crawl back into SM OU for a while even after losing Levitate. Vastly different environments, yes, but you see my point. My point being, Dark Void was Darkrai's crutch. Take that away and all you've got, like I had believed since Gen 6, is fundamentally inferior competition for Yveltal. Dark Void's nerf simply exposed that thought. Now it's just the offensive stats and Nasty Plot that keeps it away from OU.

I had no idea Dark Void was nerfed at one point! I had often switched it out for Ice Beam when I fight the E4s that use dragons for type coverage. I’ll have to figure out how to add coverage for the fairy type, too... I’m more casual than competitive, but it would be nice to see what works. I wish he had Phantom Force, too. When I saw it, I thought it was awesome and fits like Darkrai moves around in the shadows. Now if only I had the ability to give the Pokémon a proper nickname in-game, I’d be set.
