Dusclops is a Ghost-Type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus that evolves into Dusknoir once given a specific evolution item. The Beckon Pokémon has one natural spawn point in the Cobalt Coastlands and several within the Alabaster Icelands. Trainers can find Dusclops in Deadwood Haunt within the Cobalt Coastlands. With the regions of Avalanche Slopes and Arena's Approach, Dusclops spawns in multiple areas across the southwest of the Alabaster Icelands in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Additionally, both Dusclops and Dusknoir can occasionally be caught during random Space-Time Distortions in the Coronet Highlands.
Alternatively, players can catch Dusclops' base form, Duskull, within the same locations, albeit at a much higher spawn rate. Duskull can evolve into Dusclops once it reaches Level 37. Duskulls will spawn from Levels 20-36, meaning that players must farm some XP before one can evolve into Dusclops. If Duskull is captured at Level 36, Trainers can feed it a Rare Candy to immediately advance it to the next level. If it is several levels lower, place it within the party, harvest gathering nodes, or feed it Exp. Candy to hasten the process.
To evolve Dusclops into Dusknoir in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, players must give the Ghost-Type Pokémon a Reaper Cloth. The Reaper Cloth is an exceptionally rare evolution item in Arceus that can be obtained through several different methods. First, players can collect Lost Satchels throughout Hisui and turn them in for Merit Points, which can be used to buy Reaper Cloth from the Trading Post for 1,400 MP. It's quite a high cost, considering that players only earn 50-100 Merit Points per Satchel. Second, Ginter of the Ginkgo Guild Shop may randomly offer Reaper Cloth for ₽10,000. He will refer to the Special Item as the "Mysterious Cloth." Keep in mind that this offer will be available until players catch 20 Pokémon, after which Ginter will have another Special Item for sale.
How to Evolve Dusclops in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Another way to procure the Reaper Cloth is by finding one on the ground during a Space-Time Distortion event. Like Ginter's Specials in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, this method is based solely on RNG, making it unreliable. Additionally, Dusclops and Duskull have an 8% chance to spawn while holding their own evolution item. Finally, Trainers can receive the cloth from Vessa once they've collected 70 Wisps.
Once players have the Reaper Cloth, they can give it to Dusclops to evolve into Dusknoir, a Ghost-Type Gripper Pokémon. To take advantage of its high Defense stat, players are recommended to feed it Mints to give it a Relaxed Nature.
