Would like to point your attention to Bulbapedia:
Darkrai's Japanese Platinum PokeDex entry:
Although Darkrai will show nightmares to people and Pokémon within a radius of itself in self-defense, it has no malicious intent.
While in the tenth movie and Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia Darkrai is portrayed as a hero; in the games it's the only Pokémon truly portrayed as evil, in a sense, especially in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2 (though the nightmare inducing effects are merely a self-defense mechanism, as it was in The Rise of Darkrai and in Platinum's Pokédex entry).
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, however, portrays a Darkrai with a much more evil character, who wants a world enshrouded in darkness, going to the edge of almost destroying time and space to accomplish that. However, after it is recruited, it shows surprising loyalty, even going as far as to say that he will never leave the player, no matter the danger. This is mainly due to the fact that Darkrai lost its memory when it was attacked by Palkia while trying to escape through a dimensional hole.
Which suggests that something happened to PMD2 Darkrai that corrupted it, and that it wasn't that 'evil' originally.
Honestly, no PokeMon is truly evil. Just stating facts here. Call me biased for that, and I reserve the right to call you an idiot for ignoring multiple canons.
I'd say your attitude is starting to get on my nerves, but that would be the understatement of the century. I suggest you calm the attitude. Like, now. Or I'll show you what I'm like when I'm NOT forcing myself to be civil.
