History
Template:Spoiler
Dusknoir has been sent by Primal Dialga to pursue Grovyle and the main characters. He pretends to be an explorer who is famous for his wisdom and for exploring alone. At first, when Dusknoir meets the player, he does not know the player's name and he actually rescues the player and the partner from the Luxio clan. He portrays Grovyle as a criminal from the future and says that he is also from the future to bring Grovyle to justice. The whole guild falls for Dusknoir's lie and goes after Grovyle and tries to prevent him from stealing any more Time Gears.
The player and its partner at one point approach Dusknoir with questions about the player's Dimensional Scream ability and asks if he knows anything about where the player came from. They mention the player's name, with the player noticing that despite claiming to know nothing about the player's memory loss, Dusknoir might have had a small smile. When Grovyle is caught and is about to be taken back to the future, Dusknoir calls the duo up to him and says hastily that it is too soon for good-byes, and grabs them both and takes them to the future before the rest of the crowd even realizes what has just happened. They, however, manage to escape from the future with Grovyle as their new ally.
They meet Dusknoir again at the end of the Hidden Land and battle him and six Sableye, where he is finally defeated by them forcing back an attack that appeared to be Shadow Ball into the 'mouth' on his stomach, severely injuring him and sending his Sableye running back to the future in disbelief that Dusknoir had lost. After they defeat him, he rises a unleashes an attack on the player and tries to finish it of , but Grovyle steps in and Grovyle then takes Dusknoir back to the future with him to prevent him from stopping the player and their partner from changing the future. Dusknoir, Grovyle, Primal Dialga, the Sableye, and the player are all erased from time when the player and their partner stop Temporal Tower's collapse, but Dialga revives the player as a reward for their sacrifice.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 3, Dusknoir, Grovyle, Primal Dialga and the Sableye appear to survive, but are trapped in the dark future. Primal Dialga orders for Dusknoir to be executed for his failure in the past game by Primal Dialga's army, but gets away with the help of Grovyle. The two of them team up together to defeat Primal Dialga.
