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

Biology

Physiology

Duskull is a small ghost Pokémon that resembles the Grim Reaper (minus the scythe). Its robe-like body has two bone patterns on its back. It wears a skull like mask covering a single red eye that looks through one of the eye sockets.

Behavior

Duskull are nocturnal Pokémon, spending the day resting within tree hollows. They have the ability to become invisible and intangible to pass through walls and solid objects. Duskull feed on the spirits of living beings; once they spot prey, they will chase them down relentlessly until the break of dawn; Duskull cannot tolerate light, so if they have not caught their targets by sunrise, they will reluctantly return empty-handed to their nests. Duskull only have one red eye that floats between their two eye sockets. Making eye contact with them is said to freeze even the strongest people or Pokémon in their tracks. Curiously, they appear to enjoy the crying of young children. They will startle unruly kids by materializing in their bedrooms and then disappearing when their parents come nearby.

Evolution

Duskull evolves into Dusclops starting at level 37 and then into Dusknoir by Trade while holding a Reaper Cloth. It may hold a Spell Tag in Generation III or a Kasib Berry in Generation IV.
