I know you have not gotten to post a skeleton yet, but in my opinion, the move order for a Life Orb set should go :

Dark Void
Dark Pulse
Sludge Bomb / Taunt
Thunder

I really think Darkrai is way too frail to run Nasty Plot (not to mention it is very reliant on Dark Void to get one in), and it really does not have space for it either. Sludge Bomb is a good fairy lure, weakening unboosted GeoXern to put in KO range for Ekiller, whereas Taunt allows Darkrai to prevent it from setting up Geomancy on the switch, while stopping Lugia from using Recover, Toxic, or Whirlwind, the latter helping Pokemon like MegaMence that have issues with Lugia. Thunder is still useful to OHKO Ho-Oh on the switch after Stealth Rock, which tends to run Sleep Talk just so it can switch into Darkrai. Ho-Oh being gone is also really helpful for GeoXern, so mention that as well.

no it wont

 

[Krauersaut]

no it wont

what do you suggest over it? i find 3 attacks more viable than nasty plot

 

[Hack]

nasty plot

 

[Krauersaut]

nasty plot

ok .-.

 

[Fireburn]

Nasty Plot is still the best set by far lol. Doesn't matter if Darkrai is frail, Dark Void makes setup ez and you can just focus on keeping SR up if you're worried about Ho-Oh

Ok Krauersaut its been 3.5 weeks and there isn't even so much as an Overview, Darkrai is kind of high priority so I'm gonna have to reassign this, sorry :[
