In turn, to capture Darkrai, you must first obtain the Membership Card item – available between new moons – through the Mystery Gift feature of Pokémon Shining Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl. Again, you’ll also need to enter the Sinnoh Region Hall of Fame and get the National Pokédex. After that, go to Newmoon Island, where Darkrai is.
As you can see, the methods aren’t exactly complicated and there’s always one more reason to go back to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
