Dusclops (Japanese: サマヨール Samayouru) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Duskull starting at level 37, and evolves into Dusknoir when traded holding a Reaper Cloth.

Biology

Physiology

Dusclops has a roundish body with two stubby legs. It has single red eye, and its hands appear to be directly attached to its body. It appears to have two bandage ends coming out of its backside.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Dusclops has the ability to trigger fear in its opponent, hence its pressure ability. Its body is hollow and can absorb anything much like a black hole.

Behavior

Dusclops appear to be Pokémon with a fearsome reputation. But they can be loyal to their trainer to a fault.

Habitat

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

It is able to absorb anything into its body cavity. However, it is sometimes found with the Kasib Berry.

In the anime

Dusclops first appeared in Jirachi: Wish Maker. It was one of the Pokémon that Butler used to perform in his magic show.

Timmy Grimm, who uses the alter-ego of "The Phantom" owns a Dusclops, which was once a Duskull. It easily defeated Drew's Roselia in Disaster of Disguise and was used for the Verdanturf Town contest in Disguise Da Limit.

Brandon used his Dusclops against Ash in their battle in Gathering The Gang of Four and Pace - The Final Frontier.

Pokédex entries

In the manga

Game data

NPC appearances

• Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire: Dusclops has its own mini-game on the Sapphire Table, which can be accessed the first time the three Poké Balls in the middle of the table are lit up. Dusclops will not appear until 20 Duskull have been hit. After that, Dusclops must be hit five times to win. However, it will suck up the ball for a brief period if attacked from the front so it must be hit from behind or while it is moving.

Trivia

• Despite what is written in its Sapphire Pokédex entry, Dusclops cannot learn Hypnosis.
• In its Generation III sprites, Dusclops is incorrectly shown to have only four fingers when it is actually supposed to have five. Mr. Mime had a similar problem.
• Dusclops and its evolution have the most base moves of all Pokémon, with 8.

Origin

Dusclops is based on chōchin obake, which are one-eyed haunted paper lanterns. It also seems to have similarities to mummies.

Name origin

Dusclops's name is probably a combination of dusk and cyclops.

Samayouru is probably a combination of 彷徨う samayou, to wander about, and 夜 yoru, night.

In other languages

• French: Teraclope - Comes from Térato ("monster" in Ancient Greek) and Cyclope (Cyclops).
