Duskull (Japanese: ヨマワル Yomawaru) is a Ghost-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Dusclops starting at level 37, which evolves into Dusknoir when traded holding a Reaper Cloth.

Biology

Duskull is a stylized personification of the Grim Reaper. Its body is a black robe with two bones on its back. It has a mask that resembles a skull and has single eye that floats between the eye sockets.

Duskull is also able to become invisible to sneak up on its prey and go through walls. Duskull is primarily a nocturnal Pokémon and has been shown to live in thick forests. It is said that this Pokémon will spirit away disobedient children, and it has been described to enjoy the crying of children. Once Duskull chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn.

In the anime

Major appearances

Duskull first appeared in Camp Pikachu, scaring the Pichu Brothers.

Two Duskull were among the several Ghost Pokémon living in abandoned mine in Fear Factor Phony. 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 it's like to "lose sleep over a bunch of twerps."

A Duskull appeared in PK15.

Minor appearances

Duskull also had a brief appearance in Get the Show on the Road!. While May was on her way to Professor Birch's, Duskull popped up in front of her and scared her.

It was revealed in a flashback in Disaster of Disguise that Timmy Grimm's Dusclops was originally a Duskull he found alone in a bush.

A Duskull appeared in the opening of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

A Duskull had a brief appearance in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness.

A Duskull belonging to a Coordinator appeared in Dawn's Early Night!. It was used along with a Psyduck for the Double Performance required during the Hearthome Contest.

A Duskull accompanied the Banette that scared off Meowth in Ghoul Daze!

A Duskull appeared in Another One Gabites the Dust!.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Trivia

  • Duskull is the only Pokémon with Levitate whose evolutions do not have this Ability.
  • Duskull can be seen as a parallel to Shuppet. Both are Generation III Ghost-type Pokémon. Both evolve into their evolved forms starting at level 37. Both also have the same base stat total.

Origin

Duskull may be based on the Grim Reaper or the bogeyman. The Japanese equivalent of the bogeyman is called the Namahage.

Name origin

Duskull is a combination of dusk and skull.

Yomawaru is a combination of 妖魔 yōma (ghost) and 悪 waru (bad thing/person). It may also derive from 夜回り yomawari (night watch[man]) or 夜回る yomawaru (night wanderer). It is also similar to Yamawarawa (a hairy, one-eyed spirit, sometimes considered a kappa), present in The Illustrated Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
