Note: These Pokémon will appear starting May. 26 (Mon) at 3:00 p.m.
Note: Murkrow’s and Honchkrow’s greater appearance rates are only in effect during New Moon Day #1.
A special appearance rate is a bonus that gives you an opportunity to encounter Pokémon you normally wouldn’t meet.
During the New Moon Day event, you’ll be able to encounter Darkrai in all areas, regardless of your sleep type.
Darkrai will sometimes appear during the first sleep research of the day, but will never appear during the second sleep research of the day.
Additionally, if you weren’t able to encounter Darkrai during sleep research, your chances of encountering Darkrai during New Moon Day sleep research will increase a little at a time.
