Notes:
-My excess of Apriballs/Master Balls are from early-game cloning glitches that are now patched out and gone! You can't do this anymore.

-Odds are 1/4096. Shiny charm does not affect this hunt (or anything except for egg hatching in BDSP), so only full odds hunting is possible.

-Darkrai can be accessed right now by redeeming the Member Card item from the Mystery Gift section of BDSP. Once you get to the Mystery Gift menu, click the top option. You must have an Internet connection to claim, NSO subscription NOT needed. There's also no software update required.

-Fly to Canalave City and travel to the top right corner of the area, behind the Pokemon Center. The previously locked inn can now be unlocked to initiate the Darkrai encounter. This will NOT work if you have not yet brought the Lunar Feather to the sleeping boy in Canalave, AND initiated the Cresselia encounter from your OWN game's storyline! Having Cresselia just in your dex from a trade does not help. I accidentally didn't do this Cresselia step before, so I continued to be locked out of the inn until I did!

-After being led to Darkrai's location, it can be hunted via soft resets (SRs) or runaways. For SRs, you can approach it and save right in front of it! For runaways, run from Darkrai, head out of the inn, and go right back in. SRs took me a shorter time (approx. 1 minute per encounter), but if you hate resetting/can get good at maneuvering back to Darkrai, it can take about the same time. SRs seem preferred so far.

-The Darkrai encounter is made tough by its use of Double Team, which helps it evade attacks and status moves. Even my Compound Eyes Butterfree missed most Sleep Powders, so stay vigilant! I could have False Swiped and slept it to get a better shot at Love Ball Darkrai, but I dislike having to calculate dwindling PP in risky battles like this (especially while live) and would have rather seen the Struggles coming directly. I did what worked for me and what kept me composed, so I am sorry if it was frustrating for anyone to watch. I'm a pretty amateur and new shiny hunter!

Good luck to my fellow shiny hunters!
