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.

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

Origin

Dusclops may be based on a cyclops, a mythical race of giants that had one eye. Dusclops is also similar to chōchin obake, which are one-eyed haunted paper lanterns, and mummies.

Name Origin

Dusclops's name is probably a combination of dusk and cyclops. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of 彷徨う samayou, to wander about, and 夜 yoru, night. The French name may be based of a combination of terror and cyclops, while the German name is a combination of twilight and cyclops.
