my kids are looking to get Darkrai in pokemon pearl ... we won't use a Action Replay because if anything happens to game we would have a bigger issue on hand. i see something about a nintendo event but i don't know what that is so if i could have some help on how to get this pokemon that would be very cool ... we have ds lites if that matters or not

I'm surprised that nobody has the event Darkrai.
That is beautiful. Parents & Children playing Pokemon together.

My faith in humanity has been slightly restored.
thank you to the people that did help out rather then troll (chaitrak) .
i had 12 at one point but traded 6 to my brother and traded the other 6  , one of which fora shiny rayquaza
Look up RETIRE on YouTube. There are videos he has made over glitches that can be used to obtain not just Darkrai, but also shaymin, infinite Arceuses, and Cresellia. (Don't know how to spell the last one.) I recommend that you do it yourself, it is also dangerous, so I recommend doing it on a save file you don't mind losing if you mess up bad. Though, you can transfer these pokemon up to other games if you like.
@MAD507210, you should post the return glitch as an answer with the link to it
@~Slpeen~, okay.

Nope there was a event a long time ago that les you open the locked house in canalave where it took you to darkrai but I don't know of any other legit way to get it other than GTS (which is highly uneliable)

EDIT- and the darkrai event you mustve saw is for BW.

Sorry time to get a AR D:

Try using Pokecheck or something to get a Darkrai. It won't affect your game or anything, and it's pretty useful. It won't be allowed to be traded on the GTS, however.

The only way to get darkrai without jacking is to trade for one with a freind. A nintendo event is a time (called an event) that when a certain pokemon is obtainable over wifi for a certain period of time. Darkrai was originally obatained through an event, but that event has passed, and is no longer available. Otherwise, I'm afraid darkrai is unobtainable without hacking.

They can't trade Darkrai over the GTS because they haven't seen it.
Oh, I didnt know that. I've never used GTS so that's why. thanks for pointing that out.
