Darkrai, If you havent already got him through CHEATING or using a glitch in V.1 of the Japanese game, or by getting him as a trade over Pokemon GTC (most likely originaly obtained by cheating) - Will officially be available in North America at Toys"R"Us store between 12:noon - 4:PM on May,31 - June,1.

Make sure you have Diamond and or Pearl, one open spot on your belt and have completed the elite 4. This is a mystery gift event, and will not unlock the Island. He will also not be able to be traded over WiFi. Darkrai is only legitimately available through Nintendo promotions like this one, and can not normally be found in the game. Chances are this is the only event to give him away.

N+ Update: Darkrai Info

Item: Enigma Berry
Level: 50
EXP: 156250
Ball: Cherish Ball (thanks Ace for the official ball name)


Also, does anyone happen to have a Legitimate Deoxys? He's the only event-only pokemon I don't have so far!

Whoa wait. You HAVE to beat the Elite 4? I haven't gotten that far yet. Do I have to beat them to do the event to get him, or beat them to get the mystery gift AT ALL.

"The special pokeball is proof that your pokemon is legitimate and NOT hacked into your game!"
It's called a Cherish Ball, and it's dead easy to hack.

Action Replay and hacking took any fun out of Pokemon.

And almost every WFC game.

I'm a sad panda now that I can't play Metroid Prime Hunters or Mario Kart DS without hackers cheatin'.

Yeah..

Although I've never randomly encountered an MKDS hacker (I have played online with one or two - there are good cheats for MKDS that let you play Airship Fortress and such online). MPH's online is just shocking. When you do connect to a game, 2 out of your 3 opponents are cheating.

Pokémon doesn't have real 'random' battles, so when you face a hacker, you tell the community you found him on all about him. Although the top end of Pokémon hacking is nearly invisible (not quite due to some unknown hex values), most Pokéhacking is Action Replay stuff: stupid and easily spottable.

I think I should add: I'm so pro.

-MK: I would recommend trying it anyway. But this is how the otherevents happened. You needed the national DEX to get the pokemon. I think you can unlock mystery gift if you want before elite 4, but to recieve him you may need the DEX.

Okay, well I tried. And my local TRU couldn't figure out how to work the Darkrai machine.

Well it's a good thing they give these out every week so they can accomodate for their screw-up.

Wait a second...

Deoxys will apparently be given out at your local Gamestop between 6/20-6/22 and the following weekend of 6/27-6/29.
