Spoilers: Help with Darkrai

[Icalasari]

x.x God, that place is annoying! I MAY be able to pull it off, but me, Shadowater, and Cresselia are all level 47. The first section wiped out 3 of my 6 seeds. I do manage to get to Darkrai every now and then (Mismagius + Thunderbolt being the ONLY attack that can hit it + Rhyperior = Evil)

First time:

Lost because I only had one Reviver seed left

Second time:

Lost because, despite having all three, EVERYBODY HAD THE FUCKING INTIMIDATE IQ SKILL! x.x I couldn't attack ONCE! GOD!

I might somehow beat him tonight, but just in case if I don't:

Help?


My team:

Leader: Eric (Pikachu) Lv 47
@ Silver Bow
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder Wave
-Quick Attack
-Brick Break

+ Thunderbolt is awesome for taking out Pokemon. Also, Brick Break helps with Aggron and Darkrai
-...And the aforementioned Rhyperior. Those things are evil with their Lightning Rod ability. Also, Earth Power kills me WAY too easily. I can't even get near the Camerupt if they decide to spam Earth Power

Partner: Shadowater (Totodile) Lv 47
@ Nothing
-Swords Dance
-Slash
-Bite
-Aqua Tail

+ Aqua Tail is DIVINE
- None, really, besides the fact that he hasn't learned how to choose Pokemon who are 4x weak to him as his first targets yet

Escort: Cresselia Lv 47
@ ?????
-Confusion
-Double Team
-Slash
-????

+ She absorbs hits every now and then
-God do I ever HATE escorts! They attack at the WORST POSSIBLE TIMES!

My strategy:
I use my Violent Seed, then a Vanish Seed. This keeps Darkrai away from everybody, and he won't attack as he doesn't think that I am there. If Shadowater manages to Knock Out Rhyperior, I use Thunderbolt to mop up the others. Otherwise, Brick Break on Darkrai

Only problem is that Arbok, Magmortar, Rhyperior, Aggron, and Darkrai ALL INTIMIDATE ME SO THAT I CAN'T MOVE! By the time I CAN move, Cresselia and Shadowater have already used up my Reviver Seeds, and I can't help them because Eric can't attack

Honestly, if I was surrounded by intimidating Pokemon, I would be freaking out
and zapping them all to death, not become afraid to the point of NOT MOVING!

Discharge somewhere in your list of moves. Once Rhyperior's gone (Brick Break it right off the bat), Discharge can sweep even better than Thunderbolt.

Aside from that, my best suggestion is... to level up, I guess. I think I was around level sixty before I beat Darkrai (first try). You might also want to advance your IQ to the point where you have Self-Curer so that you don't get dangerously low on HP and are saved only because your partner happened to wake up and use a boosted move like I did. D: Don't forget Darkrai has Bad Dreams.

Hmm... I'd also suggest grabbing a bunch of X-Eye or Stun Seeds to throw at a lot of the enemies. Sure, it wastes turns that you could use attacking, but within about three turns you'll have enough things down that you can actually have a bit of relief by not having those three bother you.

Sorry I can't be more helpful - it's been a long while since I've faced Darkrai. D:

One more thing: Cresselia's last move is either Ice Beam or Aurora Beam.

 

[Icalasari]

Oh, yeah, it is Aurora Beam XD

As for Discharge, well, Thunderbolt got boosted by Ginseng before I got Discharge, so yeah, I am sticking with T-Bolt unless I can find more Ginseng. And I do have Self-Curer... And a Chesto Berry :D

Rhyperior and Intimidate skills are what really get me. I can't use my best attack until Rhyperior is gone, and I can't attack most of the time because of all the Intimidator Skills. Is there a trick to that skill or...?

 

[Blaziking the God General]

I was level 100 before heading to Darkrai I think. Get LOTSA Golden Seeds (+5 Level).

 

[Icalasari]

...No. I nearly beat him last night at level 48. ONLY HAD HIM LEFT, but Cresselia got knocked out x.x

>.> Fucking hell

Should I leave the dungeon for awhile and restock on supplies? After all, I only lost because I had three instead of four Reviver Seeds. If I had a fourth one, or if I used an Oran Berry in time, or if I just became visible, then I would have won >.<

 

[Blaziking the God General]

Restock on supplies definitely.

And level up.

If you're desperate for missions, use this

 

[sagefo]

TRAIN. when i beat darkrai i was well into the fifties

 

[Lollicat]

Like many others have said...train.

Also, use the wonder mail thing that Blaziking gave you the link to. If you get a ton of golden seeds, it'll be a piece of cake. Plus, unlike the games, there's no EV training you can do, so the stats are as good as if you had done the training yourself. I was well in level 83 before I defeated that battle; Cresselia's so fucking stupid @o@
