Question

How do I catch Darkrai if the mystery gift is no longer available (2017)?

Community Answer

You have to use a cheat device such as an action replay. That is the only way I know of to get old events.

Question

Is this available in 2016?

Community Answer

No. Wi-fi connection services for many DS games, including Pokemon Platinum, were permanently discontinued in May of 2014. As the Mystery Gift requires usage of the Internet, the gift is no longer available.
