Darkrai’s best moveset for PvP encounters is Snarl as a Fast Move and Dark Pulse as a Charged Move.

Between Feint Attack and Snarl, the latter one deals more damage and has a higher energy gain, so go with it as your Fast Move.

The best options for the Charged Move are Dark Pulse and Shadow Ball, however, Dark Pulse benefits from STAB. For those who want more coverage, Focus Blast is a good secondary choice despite its high energy requirement.
