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

It evolves into Dusclops starting at level 37, which evolves into Dusknoir when traded while holding a Reaper Cloth (from Generations IV to VII, Sword and Shield, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl) or when exposed to a Reaper Cloth (Legends: Arceus).

Biology

Duskull is a Pokémon which appears to be 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 a 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. In Hisui, the story of Duskull is often told to children, in order to make them behave. Once Duskull chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn.
