Darkrai was first introduced during the Cosmic Collisions as one of the guests in attendance of Dinner Diplomacy. Shortly after having one of his own items stolen, the palace erupted into chaos. Darkrai would return later during the course of the events to sow chaos and confusion amongst the warriors by obscuring their visibility.

Darkrai's real motivations and nature would reveal themselves during Campground Calamity where it teamed up with Necrozma with ambitions to cast the entire Alola region into permanent darkness in hopes of feeding off the region's collective nightmares for strength. Darkrai's defeat would come with it being sealed within the Eternal Darkness Bulb at the end of Campground Calamity after a costly sacrifice from Celebi.

Darkrai is responsible for two cultural fellowships: the Darkrai Foot Clan, a criminal organization responsible for the perpetration of high-value thefts, and the Dreamers of Darkness, a congregate kingdom of Dark-type Pokemon who practice ancient teachings originating from the books of darkness.

Darkrai played a minor role during Cosmic Collisions, as an invited as a distinguished guest to the High Court's attempt at peace talks, Dinner Diplomacy. At this distinguished dinner prepared by renowned chef Manaphy, several thefts took place robbing those in attendance of several irreplaceable artifacts of legendary significance. While the ploys of the criminal entities responsible were foiled, ARMOR was eventually able to uncover that these thefts were contracted by Darkrai in an attempted coup to steal his nemesis, Cresselia's Lunar Wing.

During Campground Calamity, the unethical activities of Nigel Necrozma lead him into the waiting hands of Darkrai who was more than primed to take advantage of his naivete. Striking a dastardly deal, Darkrai manipulated Necrozma's body as a vessel to channel the energy of the Eternal Bulb. However, unbeknownst to Necrozma, Darkrai's ambitions to control the solar cycles did not end with the Alola island chain, but the entire world.

However, Darkrai met its demise when Celebi, a skilled time mage. concocted a plan with Xan, a local island mystic, to seal Darkrai within a vessel trapping it permanently. Using time magic bestowed by Arceus, Celebi returned back moments before the fusion between Necrozma and Darkrai had begun. She read a magical enchantment written about Darkrai found in an ancient text written by the Dreamers of Darkness to bind Celebi's soul to it, in order to seal Darkrai and all of its malevolent energy within the Eternal Bulb. This sacrifice would lead to Darkrai's current confinement.

During the events of Contorted Chronicles, the Dreamers of Darkness were introduced, and ancient reclusive kingdom of Dark-type Pokemon who drew their magical energy from Darkrai's magic. In the past, the Dreamers of Darkness were responsible for the start of the great Kalosian War, as their leader King Pierre Pangoro lead an secret assault on the Fellowship of Fae, a provocation of war. Whilst the damage of this conflict could not be undone, the modern day Queen of the Dreamers of Darkness, Penelope Pancham, has learned from the mistakes of her ancestors and has opened up the kingdom to a reciprocity cycle with neighboring Officiants of Oceans.

As of the events of Contorted Chronicles, Penelope has sought to better understand her people's connection with Darkrai. This has included recovering The Spear of Sidney Sableye, a spear forged to fight and trap Darkrai, only for his release in exchange for the blessing of his malevolent magical gifts. The spear was bequeathed by each subsequent leader of the Dreamers of Darkness, until it was lost by Pierre Pangoro in the Kalosian War.

Penelope has also sought ARMOR's helped in understanding the Dread Plates, a series of mystical tombs that have been kept in secrecy by the Dreamers of Darkness for 1000 years. These spells allow any skilled Dark-type with the Dreamers of Darkness bloodline to channel the malevolent magical energies of Darkrai.
