Twilight Trails Shifts Raid Meta: Shadow Darkrai Tops the Field
Twilight Trails brings a broad slate of new moves, but the raid meta centers on a few winners. Shadow Darkrai with Foul Play and Mega Greninja with Brutal Swing are highlighted as top performers, with Shadow Darkrai delivering the most raw damage and Mega Greninja offering strong DPS and lower power-up costs. Mega Darkrai is presented as the overall best Dark-type attacker due to higher energy efficiency and greater DPS, plus its immunity to Ghost-type damage, making it a key pick against Ghost/Psychic bosses. Mega Gallade with Sacred Sword provides a solid Fighting option, particularly against Rock-type raids, while some other megas/shadows (Chandelure, Houndoom, Zeraora) fall short of the leaders. In short, Twilight Trails cements Shadow Darkrai and Mega Greninja as the raid leaders this season, with Mega Darkrai as the strongest overall Dark-type choice; trainers should consider investing in Shadow Darkrai now.
