How To Get Member's Card and Capture Darkrai - Part One

Nintendo is currently allowing owners of Pokemon Platinum to download the Member's Card via Nintendo WFC. This event is taking place from August 3rd to September 13th, 2009. This event is available to those living in America or Europe. In order to download the Member's Card, you will also need to have gotten Mystery Gift enabled in your game, and you must also have obtained the National Pokédex.

The Member's Card allows players to capture Darkrai in-game, as opposed to the Toys R' Us event that was held for Diamond/Pearl Players in 2008. The Member's Card grants access to the hotel in Canalave City, a location previously unaccessible. Players will have the chance to soft-reset for Darkrai and add its information to their Pokédex.

Information on Darkrai:

Level 50
Base Stats: 75 / 90 / 90 / 135 / 90 / 125
- Hypnosis
- Faint Attack
- Nightmare
- Double Team

Ideally, Darkrai should be one of the easier legendaries to battle and hopefully catch. Focus on wittling down its HP into 10% or less and throw Ultra Balls (or Dusk Ball if its night) to catch it. Once captured, Darkrai makes an ideal user of Nasty Plot, making it one of the most feared special sweepers in the Uber tier when combined with Dark Void.
