Obtaining Darkrai

DIAMOND/PEARL/PLATINUM: The only way to encounter Darkrai in these games was to obtain a Membership Pass via a special event. Once you received the pass, the motel in Canalave City that was previously locked was no longer. After falling asleep and being awoken by Darkrai, you noticed a notebook with Darkrai's location. The sailor toward the bottom of the city would then take you to New Moon Island, where you could battle and catch Darkrai.
