Newmoon Island Pokémon Diamond and Pearl · Caves & landmark
Newmoon Island is a small, rocky island off western Sinnoh with a dark pond in a closed-in grove, the home of the Mythical Pokémon Darkrai. In DP the intended way in is the Member Card event, where the sleeping player is carried there in a nightmare from Canalave City's inn. The Member Card was only distributed for Platinum, so in Diamond and Pearl Darkrai was only available as a gift Pokémon from events.
