hey. i have a lvl 100 darkrai and as it lvled up, i picked out some moves for it to keep as a move set. my darkrai's move set i found was very versatile and flexible. very helpful for ending battles quickly when needed. first, u wanna have darkrai's signature move, dark void. Dark void puts your opponent to sleep. darkrai's ability, bad dreams, will come into effect and make your opponent lose health every turn. the second move is nightmare. when nightmare is used, it makes a sleeping opponent lose health every turn, similar to darkrai's ability. the third move is dream eater. no sleeping move set is complete without dream eater. at regular power i find it to be the most powerful health drainer, stronger than giga drain. this regains ur health, but can only be used when the pokemon is asleep. however, at this point ur probably thinking why so many sleeping moves, if pokemon dont stay asleep forever? simply, darkrai's fourth move is dark pulse. a very powerful dark type move, it can really dish out some damage, as well as making ur opponent flinch. so, my darkrai's move set is:

dark void
nightmare
dream eater
dark pulse

additionally, i like to add a dread plate to darkrai, as the main attacking move is a dark type move.

that is only a avrige move set for a darkrai....a cheso/lum berry can cure that first sleep and a good focus blast / sleep talk can counter it

you have a point ther. but no move set is perfect, there's always one factor thats a weak spot.

Darkrai
Timid Nature 252 Sp Attack/252 speed/4 HP
Moveset:
Hypnosis/Dark Void
Dark Pulse
Psychic
Ice Beam/Haze/NastyPlot/Will-o-Wisp

Darkvoid has better accuracy, but in Double Battles you violate the Sleep clause. So Hypnosis is actually more plausible.

Dark Pulse is your STAB.

Psychic is to hit those Fighting type Counters

Ice Beam is good in UBER Battles since most are Dragon type.

Haze will reset any Stats they raised on themselves or lowered on Darkrai.

Nasty Plot is for raising Darkrai's Sp Attack 2 stages. Making it possible after one use, to have 810 Special attack.

Will-o-Wisp is Primarily for Scizor.
