DARKRAI & GROUDON HAUNT PLAYER'S NIGHTMARES | 2026 VGC REG J
Howdy Ho, YouTube! Today, I am using a Darkrai team made by my friend Mr. Curtastic! Let's take a look.
The first Restricted Pokémon is Darkrai, obviously. This is a Focus Sash set with Dark Void, one of the most anticipated moves in Regulation I. It's partnered with Groudon, a Pokémon that also has powerful, inaccurate moves. So, how do we cure that?
Sandy Shocks! This ancient magnet gets Gravity, a move that makes inaccurate moves more accurate. It also gets a speed boost from Protosynthesis, which Groudon sets up. Some great synergy, honestly. The other sun abusers are Chi-Yu for its fire moves and Flutter Mane for Protosynthesis.
Finally, Rillaboom rounds out the team. Miraidon sets up Electric Terrain, stopping any mon touching the ground from falling asleep. Rilla's Grassy Terrain takes that away! It's a necessary addition to the team. Thank you for making and sharing the team, Mr. Curtastic!
