Princess Luna vs. Darkrai

The Princess of the Night encounters a Legendary Dark Pokémon.

Fight is in the Everfree Forest around the ruins of the Old Kingdom.

Banishment to either the Moon or the Sun is not allowed.

Who will win?

Luna isn't very violent outside of nightmare mode, but I'm not sure Darkrai has the raw power to defeat someone who can take 140 Tsar Bombas to the chest. The pokedex provides no feats for it, is this the anime version?

Nemesis, you make the best f**king threads!

That said, I have no idea who would win. I never looked into Gen 4 OR MLP.

(DISCLAIMER: Yes, I'm trying my hand at Yamcha's thing, so don't expect me to be good at it yet.)

Yamcha is trendy as ****.

That said, I can't recall anything from the movie to put Darkrai on Luna's level, and the game doesn't give him much in the way of feats either. mmm

Luna held back the elements of harmony for a moment, even forcing it's power back for just a second. After the beam overcame her it was still strong enough to carry her to the moon at .5 of c, that's more than the total energy of 100 Tsar Bombas going off in kinetic energy alone hitting her straight in the chest, and she remained conscious.

1.8 gigatons of TNT equivalent. To wrap your head around that, here:

What can I say? Yamcha's the shit! 😄

This is kinda why I requested your help conducting calcs. haermm

It's true, Yamcha is pretty awesome.

And hah, fair. PM me if you have a specific scene you'd like me to look at, but as I said, I am known for two things.

1. My laziness
And I guess I'll list the rest later.

Yes for I have yet to play any Pokémon games or read the manga series so you'll have to forgive me if I'm possibly using the weakest version.

The movie/anime version is actually the best, and arguably more powerful than MewTwo.

He was able to use his Dark Void as a shield that was capable of surviving levels of power known for erasing things from existence. Not indefinitely, but for an impressive period of time.

I don't even know who Luna is, but I will still favor Darkrai.

Luna is My Little Pony's night goddess who can move celestial bodies with her mind, she's strongly implied to be more powerful than her sister, who has moved the sun faster than light.

She's also a dream walker, which might be why Nemesis put her against Darkrai.

I thought that much as well. Isn't Darkrai sorta the Freddy Kruger of the Poke verse, only he kicks significantly more ass?

If Freddy Kruger was a good guy who couldn't actually control the nightmares he gave people, yes.

Darkrai is a pretty cool guy, though. eh fights gods of time and space and doesn't afraid of anything.

That's my point. He sounds kinda like a (if only slightly) more uber Shadow the Hedgehog, in the sense that he's more powerful than he can stand. He sounds pretty raw if he's contending with the Creation Trio.

What would I watch to learn of both of these characters?

To be fair, that was the movie versions, not the game versions. 😛 The game versions are a completely different animal and Darkrai doesn't seem to have ever encountered them.

They may not have the same feats (assuming the game versions have much in the way of them shrug), but they still seem to be conceptually similar entities. Still need to watch all these.

The level of power the legendaries exhibits between the games and movies is vastly different. MewTwo and Darkrai become more powerful, while the cosmics become infinitely less so. The aforementioned Arceus losing it's plates when struck by a meteor comes to mind. 😛

In the games Palkia and Dialga were capable of creating new universes and had to be chained by gems made from other legendaries.

Pokemon movie 10 for Darkrai.

Luna is scattered throughout the MLP series and doesn't appear very often. Depending on which form you're looking for, she appears as Nightmare Moon in 'Elements of Harmony' (Season 1) parts 1 and 2, and in 'Princess Twilight Sparkle' (season 4) parts 1 and 2. She appears as Luna in 'Luna Eclipsed' (Season 2) and 'Sleepless in Ponyville' (Season 3.)

You can find all of them on youtube.

The Arceus low showing comes off as PIS IMO. Kinda the same way Samus loses all her shit in the first two Prime games as a result of things that essentially would do her no harm. You just said yourself that Darkrai gets more powerful, so I guess there's that.

Thanks for the references, Even. I'll check what I can, when I can. I may have to dip my feet into MLP before I can observe much of it.

Whether or not Palkia and Dialga can create universes in the anime is irrelevant. Their battle still takes place in a parallel dimension and affects the real world by virtue of their power. The entire city the movie takes place in was ripped from its reality by just Palkia, if I recall, and was in danger of being erased from existence because of the battle. Darkrai managed to hold off an entire attack from both Palkia and Dialga at the same time.

Darkrai seemed to have a certain level of interdimensional power as well. Simply hitting a Pokemon with his dark void appeared to separate a Pokemon from its consciousness.

It is kind of relevant, since it would prove their power to be above Luna's. 😛

Except it isn't, because their combined power is enough energy to erase matter from existence.

> Luna.
