Mewtwo vs Darkrai?

[mattattack]

This is a battle I would actually love to see. Two darkened hearts ready to fight to the death. So which one would YOU pick? Darkrai or Mewtwo?

 

[Gymnotide]

Darkrai wins due to typing and Dark Void.

 

[mattattack]

Remember my friend its not always the type that matters. Example: Onix vs Pikachu

 

[Gymnotide]

Except Electric-type attacks don't work on Ground-types.

 

[Andcetera]

Darkrai,obviously
Psychic types are weak to dark , unless the mewtwo here has fighting type moves >_>

 

[mattattack]

still...though mewtwo could pull out a bug type move maybe or an a arua sphere!

 

[mattattack]

well if a starly can beat a arceus so can mewtwo beat darkrai hmmm?

 

[Prototype Omega]

If we're talking about the show, I'd have to go with Mewtwo, hands down. If we're talking about the game, it'd depend really. If Darkrai went for say Dark Void and missed, Mewtwo could possibly own it with Focus Blast. It's pretty much a toss up in the game, but I'm sticking to Mewtwo.

 

[mattattack]

a starly with focus sash arcues attacks it starly uses endeavor, then starly uses quick attack

 

[SytheXP]

I want to Know about the starly vs arceus thing as well. Also my vote goes to Darkrai.

1. Hes beastly awesome
2. Mewtwos psychic atks are useless and has few other cards in his hands (maybe metronome or focus blast)
3. Darkvoid+Nightmare+Dreameater=OWNT
4. Or darkrai could use Shadowball/darkpulse

They are both powerful but what used to be powerfull hardly compares to power now. I remember when Alakazam used to own everything and now its easy to dispatch.

 

[ShadowSkitty94]

It's a tough call.

Darkrai is a Dark Type.

Well, just remember Psychic moves are ineffective against Dark types. Mewtwo can learn some fighting moves right? Well, if you pit DarkRai with a moveset of Dark Void, Dark Pulse, Ominous Wind and Focus Punch, ( I made up this moveset so don't intend on using it.) Against Mewtwo with a moveset of Aura Sphere, Psychic, Psycho Cut and another move. ( Again, made this up. Don't use it if you really want to.)

Being, Mewtwo is a Psychic. And it's super effective against Bug, Dark, and Ghost. While Darkrai is super effective against Bug and Fighting.

Darkrai would win, unless if Mewtwo hits it with Aura Sphere.



This might not be an accurate explaination but it's from what I know.

 

[KnilShadowLink]

This is a tough one...Darkrai is one of the few (If not the only) 4th Generation Legendary I actually like...but Mewtwo is one of the original 151 so in terms of liking one of the two I'd take Mewtwo, but in game Darkrai would have a much easier time defeting Mewtwo (I'm not saying a Mewtwo couldn't beat a Darkrai, I'm just saying it would be difficult)

What if your Pikachu knows the move Surf?

Darkrai,obviously
Psychic types are weak to dark , unless the mewtwo here has fighting type moves >_>

In today's world of Pokémon, a Pokémon's type isn't just the match decider. Their move set and ability play a big part.

How much could mewtwo even do with a bug type move? Signal Beam? I doubt that's ever going to OHKO Darkrai, especially since no STAB is gained from it whatsoever.

Although the Signal Beam's attack power is 75, there's a 10% chance it can confuse the opponent. But you wouldn't want to rely on that alone.

Mewtwo is just barely faster than Darkrai.

a starly with focus sash arcues attacks it starly uses endeavor, then starly uses quick attack

This is actually not true since Arceus has Extremespeed.
1. Arceus uses Extremespeed and Starly is left at 1HP.
2. Starly uses Endeavor and leaves Arceus at 1HP.
3. Arceus uses Extremespeed and BEATS Starly's Quick Attack to the draw.

 

[Haza]

Mewtwo ofcourse. Id much rather see Mewtwo face off against Arceus though.

 

[El Gofre]

Mewtwo is just barely faster than Darkrai.

Regardless, he's still faster. I've just done some damage calcs, and mewtwo with a neutral nature and 0 SpAtt EVs will do a minimum of 74% to darkrai with aura sphere. Strap on a life orb and he does a minimum of 97%, a OHKO if darkrai experiences any level of entry hazard or weather damage at all. Of course that would never happen, as mewtwo will be almost always be found running max SpAtt and will KO darkrai several times over. Mewtwo's defences are also better than darkrais, and is able to switch in on a 252SpAtt@Timid spacial rend and in the best case scenario (For mewtwo, not darkrai), not even be 3HKO'd. From here does what we started discussing- outspeed and screw over with aura sphere.

Darkrai would really win this match. Because of the ability. It depends on how much they're power can do. the speed. the hp. and the strength. Also it depends on the luck :3.

[♣Gawain♣]

Mewtwo can learn a variety of moves and has a higher Sp. Attack, Darkrai has the Speed and craftiness. I don't know who will win...

 

[©ereal Killer]

Darkrai baby!! Its dark type and dark type owns! Well to me it does...

Dark void + dark pulse = *sigh* awesomeness

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

In anime might Mewtwo won but in game without Miracle Eye he hasn't chance
I vote for Darkrai
