In the anime

Duskull first appeared in Camp Pikachu.

Duskull also had a brief appearance in AG001. While May was on her way to Prof. Birch's, Duskull popped up right in front of May and scared her out of wits.

Two Duskull were among the several Ghost Pokémon living in abandoned mine in AG146. Since the Ghost Pokémon couldn't stand the partying Psychic Pokémon in the nearby town, Team Rocket decided to help the Ghosts because they knew what its like to "lose sleep over a bunch of twerps."
